Hello everyone! I’m here, yet again, to ask for opinions and advice. I was recently given a 4x4 tent and am looking into what light(s) to put in it. After searching the forums and seeing what’s what, I have some questions. I’m shopping around Alibaba, and that place gives me a headache…
1. Would I be better off with 240w x3? Or 320w x 2? Or 1x 600w/650w bar setup? I don’t know if I like the idea of relying on one large light, but I’m here for opinions and advice.
2. When it comes to UV & IR, when is the best time to run them? What if they don’t have a separate switch from the whites (run constantly)? Or one switch controls both UV & IR, instead of being able to control each individually? Is it worth it to have them then? Or with just IR?
3. Is Cree REALLY worth the extra money? What about Osram? What problems/qualms with Epistar do people have?
4. Some have varying options of white diodes vs 66nm diodes, which way is recommended? More white, less 660? Or more 660 with a few less white?
I have a “short list” of lights I’m interested in and am trying to narrow it down. This won’t be purchased very soon, trying to get an idea of what I want so I can start budgeting for it. Any and all information/advice/expertise is appreciated!
