When comparing two renowned brands, it can be very hard to say for certain which one has the best products. This is because one brand may make excellent products in one category and average ones in another category. VIPARSPECTRA and Platinum LED have brilliant lights that are loved by indoor growers. However, their lights are not equal.
Platinum LED lights are manufactured in the USA while VIPARSPECTRA makes its lights in china. Both manufacturers make lights that can be used by all growers. We’ve decided to compare three offerings by each manufacturer to ensure you get value for your money.
VIPARSPECTRA Timer Control Series VT300 300W VS Advanced Platinum Series P300 300w
If you have a closet grow or just need a light that can illuminate a small growing space, we recommend the Advanced Platinum Series 300W 12-band grow light. It is backed by a 5-year warranty, a 90-day money-back guarantee, and offers the best spectral output available. It has the highest PAR output per watt of any grow light in its class. (Score 0:1)

VIPARSPECTRA Timer Control Series TC600 600W VS Advanced Platinum Series P600 600w
If you want a 600-watt light, we still recommend the one manufactured by Platinum LED, the P600 600W Grow Light. It only uses 368 watts of electricity. When raised 18 inches high, it offers a coverage of 6ft x 4ft, which is much more than the coverage offered by the VIPARSPECTRA light (3ft x 3ft when elevated 28 inches). While the VIPARSPECTRA light replaces a 600W HPS/MH light, the Platinum LED light replaces a 800W HPS/MH light. (Score 0:2)

VIPARSPECTRA Reflector-Series 900W VS Advanced Platinum Series P900 900w
The two last lights we are examining have a power output of 900 watts. Once again, we’re recommending the Advanced Platinum P900 900W because it generates 900 watts of real power and replaces a 1000W HPS/MH light. It is an extremely powerful light, but you may have to save for a while before buying it. The VIPARSPECTRA light is also good but has a smaller coverage. (Score 0:3)
