Need to check on the quality of the product.
What kind of setup you are using? Hood? |

u need to take very caution on the heating issue, is the heat dissipation is not done properly, the LED will burn out very fast.

LED lighting main problem is the driver. Quality of the driver is very important. And at that price, you might want to consider again.

I'm really curious... Is there such a thing as too much light for plants? Factoring away algae issues and fert requirements. Will plants be adversely affected when light is "too strong" ?

There are indeed a possibilty of having too much light for your plants, some plants need low light and some need high light.. depends on what plants you keep...

Okay. Let's level the comparisons by saying now they are all light-demanding plants....
Will they be affected adversely if there's too intense lighting? |
