Eye Hortilux is the best for grow lights, the problem is they know it... I sell 10 hortilux super HPS 1kw ($129 each) to every 1 of the Maxlume HPS 1kw ($40 each). There is value in the name for sure, but they are the best from everything I have seen.

The PAR works the same I think for Plants, (I am still learning about it) as the light intensity for the colors, and plant penetration...

The LED's with 3w diodes are good, they are less intense, but run cooler, and even if you compare the 5w diodes next to the 3w diodes, you may not notice any difference in growth. (although I have never tested this concept, and this to me atm is just hearsay)
