I've never used LED before. If I did go with the PowerPAR Greenhouse LED Fixture; It says the box is 12 inches x 12 inches with a 50 degree beam angle. What distance do I hang the light to cover the 3x3 area?
bro a 1' sq fixture is gonna have problems doing a 3x3 no matter how you hang it. Unless it's a veg lamp
any suggestions on a 3x3 LED? veg and flower
Unit is meant for a 3x3 to 3.5.
Im not qualified to make suggestions about the current best commercially available lights for your space.
Reading your log. Any one who asks the never gives a full picture heh. What's your budget? Height?
I am not a DIY, I am a go to the hydro store and grow kinda guy.
3x3x7 space. budget is under $2,000. Goal is 12 oz minimum, max goal is 16 oz.
Yep I could. One day I will. But again every one has their reasons for buying a pre-made. For me I took the time to learn some (not all of course) so not a pro. I am also rebuilding my bathroom and building my grow space + a work out room with it. The last thing I have is spare moments to sit down and make something.
I didn't see a question mark at the end of that or any other company for that matter heh. I do like over lapping lights as well, but going of recommended specs.
Gotcha. Perhaps someone with knowledge of the best commercial matchups for your space will chime in. But its a basic structural advantage with led rigs to have a large frame spreading the emitters around your target area. Thats why i would question the design strategy of a 12" box effectively illuminating a 3x3.Yep I could. One day I will. But again every one has their reasons for buying a pre-made.

I have two California light works 440 with uvb bulbs. Have an issue with them during s current grow so they will need to go back. I wanted something I can put with my current lights that was cob but I feel would add to and fit in good with my lights to grow together. I love the idea of uvb and since my current LED's do have them, I wanted that on my cob unit as well. Than it also has the monochrom specs (can be its own lighting not supplement lighting) that go with it.
My total space 12x2.5. Only 8 foot of that I'd plant space. I say all this because there are reasons when pre-made units are better than dyi, I simply do not have the time to spare and am in need. The warrenty is 5 years bumper on it, most I see are 3 years.
Sorry for the long rant but yes I known that I can get more if I build it my self. Same if I make a sandwich or build my own home. I can save money. But if I am out on the road, fast food can make sense.
Either way I am still learning about all of this as well and love all the input. I am sure down the road I'll also be able to build a better unit than if I was to do it now.
When cannabis around you is very crappy and poor and 100$ per quarter a week. You can very easily justify spending that much money on something. Let alone a lot the people around me are not the "trustful" type.
Also lol, questioned
I found a hydro store in my area that carries that. I will go pick one up soon. That one was the one I wanted anyway.
I can't recommend that bud. I do like these lights but there are from like 2014. I'll be doing a compare grow agasint them. Could be the over hyped I seen on cobs(I don't think so but maybe) but I think cobs will win.
All I ask is that you get your numbers right if you are going to keep replying. The cx300 was $650 for 420(2 week sale) and now is $725 regular price instead of $750 like it has been since its release. That is all MSRP...no codes or discounts. If anyone went on the site then...then that is the most they would have spent on a single light.
