I have grown with several types of led and T5 HO. The LEDs definitely have more ability to flower the plant and produce fruit, but coverage is a real issue. You need the LEDs to be very close to the plants. For UFOs 6-8 inches max. So for a 4x4 grow-room to really produce you are going to need 4 maybe even 6 UFOs depending on what you are growing. 2 will work for herbs and greens, but if you are trying to grow real veggies it's not enough.
The 345W Panel that I have is an extraordinarily powerful light but only covers about 3x3 when put the proper height from the plants.
