Grow Light LED recommendations for a 4'x2' grow tent?

Mr_X · Nov 22, 2020

I'm thinking of replacing my budget led lights (Phlizon 600W LED) for my 4x2 grow tent. Any recommendations?

Thoughts?

8 sq ft of canopy will have sufficient lighting with 240 watts of top-tier diodes like an lm301h.
Most QB type fixtures run at 120 watts/board, so a 2 panel light would work.
Strip lights can offer better uniformity because the diodes are spread out, so just shoot for the same wattage.

3-4x SF1000D the new model. 100w per board.
$90 per.

I have an sf2000 and sf1000. Wish they had the cheaper boards before I bought these lol

I believe I made a decent purchase. I shall do a youtube open box review once i get it.
I was looking for these specs in particular.
Power 330 Watts
Total PPF 897 µmoles
Dimming control range 10-100%
Amount of space it will take in the tent.
12" Hanging Height, Average PPFD - 1079µmol/m2s
18" Hanging Height, Average PPFD - 894µmol/m2s
I'm also using a scrog and growing sativas, so the bar strip design will make the whole canopy grow uniformly.

The one I linked. I like the bar design and light distribution, PPF, WATTS, and the other perks it has such as
Only 1.375in thick & no moving parts and you can leave the driver outside the tent.

I also liked how they let you customize what light spectrum you can buy.

It's a nice light for sure. $650 for 330w is quite steep though.

Yeah I know. I think of it like upgrading a graphics card on a computer, except its a grow light. Expensive, but an upgrade for sure.

Yeah that ChilLed is league's ahead of the Phlizon. I'm sure you will love it.

Sadly, I will be rocking my 2060 super for quite a bit longer I presume.

You go with the DIY kit or a prebuilt?

Prebuilt. I do not have the proper tools or patience to assemble it.
