Ok I have about 2 more weeks before I have the money to order my new lights so if you guys could tell me some of the big differences between these it would be much appreciated.

1) California light works solar systems 550- I believe this can go full spectrum but not sure.

2) pacific light concepts- CxP 250

3) tasty t4-2100

Looking for major differences in hardware an what not. Thanks in advance.

Mmmmm. PLC and tastey are both cobs.....so go with best price for highest cob and wattage count.

CLW is white with red and blue so augmented full spectrum.

Hard for me to say because price wise the CLW covers 3'x4' at 400w for like $550 and my results were about a Pound so really great outcome.

Tasty and PLC will both for sure have the most PPFD for same wattage.....but ppfd isn't everything. My friend that was an only HID grower likes the cobs the best but says even the CLW are better than hid for wattage.

So with all those......I'd go for price/coverage. If you are saving up. If you're big money then buy 5 of each and have fun.

Ultimately go with what you can cover sqft wise and for what you can afford.

All are solid offerings. I lean on tasty and PLC, but those two offerings are quite similar. The differences are mostly that tasty's is actively cooled, and PLC is passive. PLC is also designed to be waterproof, if that is relevant to your situation. Tasty will now be offering the new Vero on his models, if I understand correctly. PLC uses cxb3590. Can't go wrong either way. Someone more knowledgeable of CLW's offering should weigh in on that.

Johnson and Northern Grow Lights also. Something with white cob's only will do great. Some of the best advertise and participate right here.

Not going to lie, I have to do the marketing for this company (https://www.lsgc.com/collections/professional/products/lspro-vividgro-v2-grow-fixture?variant=16595423493) but I genuinely don't know much about their grow products. Could you guys please take a look and give me more info or review it for me? I would just like an honest perspective so I can try to market these products. Thanks!

My advice is to go to the source (LSGC) to get a better idea of the product. All you're going to get from here is the opinion of people who have never used them and know little-to-nothing about how these lights perform or what components they use.

Currently I'm designing a new model for Astir Grows ,Hellas.
It's a system consisting of a panel and a remote power supply box ,
with the latter containing : 2x HLG 120H-C1400A , 1x IRM-05-12 for powering the 2 Phanteks PH-F140SP fans and two
"Turn On " fully adjustable delays -one per driver-,for suppressing inrush current if/when multiple systems are used .

Astir Grows is planning to make the system available to EU market ,as soon as it's design &
manufacture are completed.

Are Morsen LED lights or Spectrum King LED any good?
Click to expand...
Spectrum king 100% no. They're one of the leading companies in bullshit and false light advertising.

Morsen is more of the same of mars hydro or king or all of those. Historically they done even last a year and they're using epiled which means very inefficient also they advertise 1200w when light uses 300w. So they're in the stay away at all cost category.

Ok but what is the equivalent wattage if possible? Would that compare to say a 272 watt LED? Right now I have a 600 W LED (272 actual watts) and a 300 Watt LED (those are not actual wattage). The size of my tent is 3.5x3.5x6. I want to upgrade and replace the 272 true watt LED. Would a 100 watt COB be enough?

Depends on leds. If it's epiled they're about 20% efficient which is most shitty led panels using 3-10w diodes. So then you need 3x power to equal what's put out in a 60% efficient led.

If You just wanna buy a cheap ass led light. No biggie. Just understand you get what you pay for.

Good luck!

Listen to this guy. Dont buy any of those panels with shitty diodes. Put all your money into high-quality low-cost fixtures from trusted makers. Replace your shitty panels one at a time if you have to. I did the same and now have a Mars II 900 collecting dust. I "replaced" it with two fixtures from https://northerngrowlights.com/.

Everyone seems to go the same path. Shitty Chinese panels -> COBs/DIY

Also look into converting your current panels to cobs, thats proably the best bank for your buck upgrade you can make right now.

Can you recommend how much cob wattage would replace a 600 w led (actual wattage is 272)?
