New Migro Lights?

Saw they have a new series of lights.

I'm pretty shocked how good these look on paper.
Way to go Shane!

The MIGRO ARAY 750 is the most efficient LED grow light for 5ft x 5ft or 1.5m x 1.5m grow spaces. Delivers high PAR intensity uniformly & controller compatible

Agree 100%.

The 150 is the new King of the Hill for the 2' market and I can make the argument to use 2 of them in a 2' x 4', as well.

I got two coming Monday or Tuesday. Couldn't beat it for $600 per unit.

If my lights fail me I would surely consider it, despite me lot liking the bar style, as mentioned you can't beat the pricetag with anything near as good.

"bar style" - meaning front to back rather than side to side?

That 750's really sweet. What light are you using now?



I did a "Contact Us":
"Are PPFD maps for the Aray 150 at 12" and 14" hang heights available?"

and got this reply:

"we only have PAR maps available at 16", 12" hanging height is too low for even light spread."

The PPFD map at 16" for the 150 is really even but I was hoping to get a little more by dropping the light. No a major issue—1000 to 900 is the same in real world terms. My most recent had some spots >1100 and I ended up with fox tails so 1k should do fine.

Yeah what I actually meant was the big fixtures, I completely disregarded the fact that there's smaller fixtures with the bar style out there too now, my bad.

So basically I don't wanna have to take out all the plants to be able to raise or lower my lights, so I have 2 smaller lights rather one big light.
Not sure if heatwise it wouldn't be better to switch, and also the efficiency is so good now that I would actually also make sense.

Still gonna wait ...

I have no problem raising or lowering my light with plants under them so long as I have a 2nd set of hands.

My apologies, I just found your response.

I completely understand using multiple lights!

From my most recent grow. The main light is a Growcraft X3 with a pair of Vipar GlowR80's in between the light bars.





There are a lot of lights in there but they're not running at 100%. The Mars SP3000 is only at 70 watts or so because I'm using it for the "front row" on Donna. Erica has a Vipar XS 1500 that's running at about 75%. The hang height is low enough to get 1kµmol± on her canopy.


In all seriousness, though, if I was growing in ambient CO2 in a 4' tent, it would be two Spider G4500's with a pair of R80's. No question about it. One great thing about multiple lights is that you can raise/lower the lights separately because 16 square feet of canopy will not be flat.

And there's also the redundancy factor so you still have one light when one of the two fails.

And it's easier to move a smaller light than a big light ended for a 4' x 4' space.

Not that I have an opinion on that.
