Looking for LED suggestions

My 315W LEC is too hot for summer grows.

My space is 3x3x8 feet.

What would be a good choice for an LED?

Thanks

Phytolamps have become the main assistants of farmers cause studies have proven that this is the most optimal way to speed up the maturation of a plant.

That's crazy it gets 120°F here during the summer running 540 watts in a 4x4. Tent stays at or below 79° plus I exhaust my air in same room. Do you have your grow room blacked out from sun entering windows or if your able to that helps mine stay a little cooler. Plus are you running in the evening and night time hours that as well

So many options available. If money isn't a concern HLG prebuilt lights, if it is I'd go with a HLG DIY kit or two. Good luck!

I've always had great results from HLG. USA made too
I'm wondering if the HLG Blackbird would work in a 3x3?


My top choice at the moment is the Viparspectra KS3000.

The Blackbird would be too much for a 3’ tent. But if you have any thoughts regarding a bigger tent in the near future I’d do it. You’ll have to vent the heat effectively though.

This would be decent. I disagree that it would be too much. Especially since it has a dimmer. If anything you can get a good life span on the light by not running at 100%. I use the scorpion diablo in a 4x4 which some would say is overkill, but again, I don't run it at 100% and I get nice yields.

The lens in the pic is a Canon EF L 100mm macro for size comparison.

I have no experience with VipraSpectra, but I've seen some youtube channels with grows using them and they're pretty sweet results.

Hey, putz. I suggested going big and exhausting heat from it. Beat it. Or learn to read more comprehensively.
take a chill pill child. do you always get snarly and disrespectful if someone doesn't agree? You beat it, you have a lot to learn about how to act around normal people

That blackbird like the diablo is for a 4x4 its 600 watts lol you need 300 to 350 watts for a 3x3 imo a 3x3 is easier to get two lights or diy. Even the 300 rspec is like 250 watts. Do diy from hlg would be best option personal opinion
