Howdy,
Have decided to share my experience with LED, specifically Mars Hydro 150w reflector. Before purchasing the unit I did alot of research online and couldn't find much meaningful info for these smaller units. Ive put a couple of grows through it already so I thought id try and journal my next grow for anyone out there considering their options.
The setup;
I've converted an old fridge into a grow box. I cut out the divide between the fridge/freezer cavity and cut out two 100mm holes in the side, one top, one bottom.
I have a 100mm exhaust fan connected up to a carbon filter extracting air out of the box. 
Lights;
1 x 150w Mars Hydro Reflector. Haven't put it over a meter, but its widely acknowledged the true draw is about 60-65watt in vege and 90-100watt in flower mode. In addition I have added a single light socket for a CFL, ive found it grows abit better with some more 'white' light in the box (Dont get me wrong the LED goes pretty well on its own). 
Plant:
For this grow im going to put in a single plant (clone). Ive tipped it already so I have a pretty flat plant with 4 main laterals. It's going into a 10 litre bucket that is 80% high quality potting mix, 20% perlite. Don't know the genetics.
The Gardner;
Have some gardening under my belt. Still learning with the LED. Interested in power conservation etc and getting most from minimal space and resources (power etc).
Updates;
Semi regular, plan for one every two/three weeks life permitting
Questions? - Shoot.
