Led Suggestions (10 years growing)

I have been growing for some time now but looking to try a LED light set up. This will be a investment so please no cheap ebay suggestions. looking for a professional LED setup for a 4x8 tent. I have used HPS / MH forever with great results and don't mind staying with them if reamended by the advanced growers.

Here is my current Blue cheese 5 weeks into flower

I've got 2 of the new Grow Lights Australia 420 boards in my 4x4. Only running one atm, but will power up the second when my co2 setup. This will give me a total of 960w. Pretty happy with them.

Where are you located?
If I was running a 4x8, I would try a pair of 600 watt arrays.
There are plenty of form factors available but your location will also limit what is available.

Hlg550v2....Get two of those in a 4x8, and you'll never look back...

You could get a couple HLG lights. Any of the 4 in the first row would work great.

Almost forgot. Use code "RIU10" for 10% off.

A CMH 315 watt in center and a couple approximately 250 watt boards on the side seems interesting. Stick with well known lights like HLG or some others that slip my mind.

I use Timber cobs with supplemental single bar style leds..penetration of light is just as good as my hps were but much less heat, better spectrums.

Choose wisely

Where in the world are you, your climate can make or break using leds.
If it's a cold climate they don't produce enough heat keep your hps/mh
if it's hot climate led is the way to go the diodes radiate very little heat.

Id go with HLG. They're highly recommended, available customer service, and there are plenty of growers on here growing nice plants under them. I don't have any experience with cobs, but I also see a lot of nice plants grown under Timber fixtures.
One thing I like about HLG is the ability to purchase boards alone, and build your own light, as well as diy kits. You could build a light as cheap as $500 using qb120's, or buy a pre-made fixture and just plug it in Whatever you get, make sure it is using top quality diodes, and a quality driver (meanwell for example). If you do go the diy route, ive got a Delta driver that ive been using for about a month, no complaints and it saved me about $20 over the equivalent Meanwell. Good luck whichever way you go, lots of options and a ton of knowledge on here

And I'm pretty sure they sponsor holding law enforcement accountable for the stupid shit they do and letting cops know that they can can drop the attitude and stop trying to fuck with our rights. I saw that on You Tube. Hope its the same HLG LED.
