led in a 1.5x2x3' tent

I always tell a new LED user to get the best light they can afford, so whats your budget?

use your 125w and add a kessel magneta for flwoer

Thats good advice. If you're looking to completely replace the CFL you'll probably want a medium wattage panel. I really hate to recommend any of those because I've only personally owned one ( lumigrow 330es) and that was a big purchase. check some grow journals to see what people have been using and how they feel about them

my budget is about $200 i was planning on gettting a hps with cooltube but led have interested me. i would probably still use my cfl unless i can get a good deal on a god led. ill check out the kessel magneta

half hps/led i would say 1 150watt hps, and one ufo from a trusted led company or a kessil, u will be investing way more then 200 tho

i have looked at the kessel magneta and those are not like normal leds i have seen. do they work well? and how big are they? they only use 36w of real electricity that isnt alot. doesnt seem like it would be enough for an area of about 1.5'x2'.

here is a a 1.5x2x3 from lighthouse hydro with two units total actual draw is 105w. (sunshine 45 glow panel and a cheap no name unit) I use it to start plants and to clone. There is not much room in there so you may want to consider 12/12fs if you want to use the tent from start to finish. You could throw two blackstar 180 units in there and grow some nice plants 12/12 fs

The kessils aren't like normal LED's but they do work. They're about the size of a soda can, maybe a little bigger. For the area you're looking to grow in, you can probably get away with just one of them. I've seen them in local hydro shops and they produce a lot of light for such a small unit.
