grow rooms with led ligths viparspectra 1200w recommendatios

im starting a new project, i want to use the viparspectra 1200w to grow. i have 3 rooms but dont know how to accomodate the space. each room 9x11. how much led ligths do i need per room. i want 2 flower rooms and 1 veg room. need help!

Do a search plenty of info...

I would do more research on lights.

Look at this statement from their adds.

"Compares to traditional 1000 watt HPS/MH while consuming only 524 watts! Perfect for a 4.5x4.5 vegetative coverage at 32 while 3.5x3.5 flowering coverage at 24"

If it truly compared to 1000hps it would cover a 5x5 in flower not a 3.5x.3.5 space.

There are great LEDs out there man, for good ones your looking at 30-35w per square foot in flower.
For lights like the vipar (which have a bad rep) you want more like 40-45w per square foot for flowering

For slightly more money you can get a much better performing light which will last you longer.

The viparspectra will hold the door open nicely on your first room.

Why do you want to use a viparpectra?

These are extremely overpriced. I see this on ebay for $400 and up. This is insane since they're essentially really just standard Chinese plurple lights. For $400+/- you could do much, MUCH better, like something based on Cree, Vero, CLU etc. COB lights. Trust me, not saying you couldn't grow with this "1200W" light, but at some point you will want something real, not some plurple lights from China

***
Chances are, 1 year later a whole bunch of the LEDs will have been burnt out, I wouldn't know why these should be different than my old MarsHydro (which I had before I switched to CREE COB). All using the same crappy Epistar etc. LEDs

Also.."LED lights reviews" sites not just for the Viparlights, but in general...make me puke up in my mouth. Pretty much all these sites that come up in google are just Amazon affiliate sites, and it's clear the "reviews" are all just bullshit. Any site who does serious reviews will list COB based (CREE, Vero, Citizen, Luminus) etc. based fixtures, Quantum boards or whatever good stuff there is out, and doesn't recommend Galaxyhdro, Viper, Marshydro, Craphydro etc. lights from China.

Do yourself a favor and check out quantum boards or any samsung lm301b fixture. Anything that looks purple is going to turn out shite.

9' x11'?
That's big as shit for 1500w of viparspectra I'd say, viparspectra grow great strong plants, I'm sure each one could do 3.5'x3.5' comfortably. If you space them correctly, they should overlap and give you more usable light

Edit if you didn't buy lights yet, build your own. If you bought them already, ignore this edit

ok ok nice! so which ligths do you guys recommend??

For the money the vipraspectra lights are no longer a good buy. If you are able to go the diy route, you can save some coin building your own fixtures using cobs or , Samsung strips with appropriate drivers. For not much more, quantum boards are the latest tech and imo are currently the best led lights one can get their hands on. They are also easier to assemble than a Lego set. You will find lots of threads here along with grow journals with info for all three.

HLG just came out with R spec 550s the next new thing.4 lights per flower room would be easy and would be awesome, maybe 2 or three of the old ones in 4000k for veg or better yet, jump down the rabbit hole, and read like crazy all you can find in 'LED and other lighting' and DIY.

For Price/ efficiency point there, I would have many options for you .lol
