Timber Citizen CLU048 VS Tasty T1-V196

Buying first light like this, Trying to decide between these two lights as they are in my budget. It will be used as a supplement light to my 400w CMH so it will not be a stand alone unit.


Also, in HID terms what would these lights be equivalent to?

Thank you everyone for your time

Is say the 400 watt is comparable on a power basis but your cmh has a more "complete" spectrum of lighting.

They are almost the same except The Timber may be a little more efficient because of using 2 leds.
The coverage area and height needed above canopy are probably slightly different as well.

It looks like Tasty is using 90 CRI and Timber is using 80 CRI slightly different.

I think it would depend if you want a closed box or an open frame design and what your grow area size and height are. They both have dimmers to turn lights down. Also Tasty does have the hanging kit included with the light. Timber offers Free Shipping instead in the U.S. so that balances out some.

So the 100w timber grow lights with 2 CLU 48 vs the tasty T1-V96 95w 1 Vero 7 light?

So both $200 lights?

1212s at 50W are more efficient than a single vero at 100, and better coverage taboot

cxm22s at 50W are more efficient than both

Is that driver really at 100w? I guessing a little more based on the other drivers.

dunno just going off your post

It looks like the people hve spoken that timber is the better choice for me
