Truth. HPS still has it going on

HPS all the way until you get up to
a 1,000watt led, your power bill will suffer but after a few decent grows then I’d go hard on led’s to save some money in the long run if you continue growing.

Blurple lights like vipar are similar to hps in efficiency so if power draw = 276w then that would be the equivalent of a 276w hps more or less so Id definitively go with 450w hps If I was you.. but you could look at other more efficient LED.. whats your tent size?

Shouldn't be too small for 2x2

2x2 is a good size for 400 hps, that's 100 watts a sq. ft. of lighting.

Do you already own both lights, or are you still shopping?
If you can afford it, look into getting a 315 ceramic.

2x2.. Just buy a HLG135w @$185 and get growing.
I just looked at the vipar price, its 159 english pound, thats like over $200... and its a bag of shite.. Man you 2x2 guys have it easy...

A 400 is not much good for over a 3x3 or 9 sq. ft. for flower a 400 just doesn't have the penetration to achieve flower density past 18". Want to see how close you can run a 400 hps with good ventilation.
