How many lights in a grow tent?

I'm seeing price tag of £160 for one of those lights @Senior Smoke, if your considering buying more then just do what GrowGoriila suggested.
I built my cob set up for around $600, that lights up 4x4, my Quantum boards light up another 4x4. That's two kits which at the time were $285 each. To light up a 3x3 you can probably do it for $300-$350 with cobs.
Better to do that than spend on 4 more of those.
What did you pay for the one you have?

Take a wander over to the LED section, you will see many Cob grows and Quantum board examples. Its just what LED guys use these days. Shits come a long way in the last few years. Lights are very efficient, getting more so every day.
What wattage were you running with your cfls?

I had about 20 23 watt cfl's and 8 of the big huge cfl's i think like 30 or 40 watts. It was a total of like 600 actual watts. Very hot!

I was thinking about getting a 4x2 tent for breeding. Ill probably end up using this light there and buying a bigger light for my 3x3 tent.

When you are ready to upgrade that 3x3 tent, this would be perfect.

That light is pretty hi-tech. Looks like it was made for a 3x3 if i read it right.
