Ah, life...

That's the problem with subpar LED lights, they fail. So that's like 6 LED lights you bought?
You probably spent 6 to 700$ on them?
You could've bought a quality LED light for under 500$ for a 3x4 tent!

The cheap price reals you in and before you know it that cheap light ends up costing more in the long run!

Not being dick, just throwing that out there. I've been there too, around 1000$ they got from me!
But in return that got me to learn about LEDs.
Cheers
This is my flowering room...3 fixtures 2600w that pulls 550w from the wall....I can have it Amazon Prime 2 days for $375 What can I get for under $500 that is considered a quality lamp and puts out that much PAR?

This one
https://growerslights.com/collectio...hting-group-320-watt-xl-quantum-board-led-kit

Or this one


The quantum says it's good for 2.5 x 5, that's 12.5 sqf
The timber fixture they sell already built says good for 9sqf, but you'd buy the kit so you spread them a lil more, while this won't make it more powerful it would work better for your space.
If you have 3x4 I'd build it so the cobs would be like this

It would be cheaper to buy the parts and build yourself on both of these.

These would be the best under 500$ for your space without building IMO.

While these would be on the low side of coverage for your area, I believe you'd get a better harvest and they'd last longer.

If you'd want better coverage, you'd spend around 800$ for built fixtures or kits.

You can also get the ones I linked and use your lights you already have with them

Not sure what par you have from the lights your using, but something like this guy would crush it in a 3x4'.
One of these 2 rows of 4 cobs 42''x16''. Could run them with 400 or 600 watt driver. Not gonna get it done for under 500$ though.
100 5790

Or you could buy one of these and then save up and buy another one. Basically what I have above.

I’m swinging the 12 vero 29 cob kit from Rapid led altogether it was close to 1k, but very nice, loving the easy on the eyes spectrum, no bluple light. With dimmers so you don’t get burnt when underneath, very cool.
