 Vanq Multichip LED?

Hey guys,
Just wondering what everyone thought of Vanq LED Multichips? They have 1-500w chips that can be fully customized.
Anyone have any opinion on the led chips themselves? I plan on doing a DIY LED light and was hoping to use a few of these chips.
Also what spectrum should i use for my chip to create a well balanced full spec light?

I was looking into building my own but then realized its got a lot more to it than what I wanted to do. I ended up just buying some lights that work and scrapped that idea. LED technology doubles in light output and efficiency every 36 months since the 60's. Right now its moving extremely fast so its hard to keep up with all the different diodes unless your in an industry which uses the. Seems like every few weeks I hear about the newest and brightest diode that is coming out.

For several of the aforementioned reasons I think why use LED's unless you're trying to be super sneaky and not get optimal yields out of the space and environment provided to you, but that's just me though. HID > LED.

With LED you have the option of getting large buds with less wattage in a smaller space when you have the light concentrated enough. i.e you can get buds like off a 600w hps without having to run the full 600w. You won't be able to flower in the same size area as you could with the HID, but not everyone's goal is to run a large garden.
LED has a lot going for it. I've started posting into my journal about LED's that start directed at specific posts, but usually redundant to go over again. I just added a post about what I don't like about HID.
