With a 250 watt HPS and 200 watt LED, I would run both if you can fit in there. You get the Temps with the LED and the added lumens of both lights. Pushing 450 watts is pretty decent spread for a set-up. My LED is 400 in a 5x5 but I do not utilize the whole space for plants, so it suits me.
I appreciate your input thank you. So you don’t presume I’m a moron, It’s a 200w LED at 60% I did not consider it to be an “appliance that’s creating heat” like an HPS would since this LED raises the temperature 1.78*F
Thanks. I appreciate your input. That’s reasonable enough cost wise, I’ll look into something with a low watt setting with an onboard thermostat or this inkbird device I keep hearing about.
I’ll slide some insulation board under there tonight that’s a good idea. Any 2-3 degrees I can pick up helpsI like my oil radiant jobber. Went a little bigger so it doesn’t have to work as hard. I control it with an inkbird but wanna centralize to ac infinity’s hub. 5 degree temp swing between lights on and off. In a cold ass basement as well. I also put down the 3/4” gym floor mat which made a huge improvement. So comfy in there. I take my slippers off and love to chill in there. 82 and 58rh
Agree with the manual switches for all connections that utilize secondary controllers like the ink bird.
