Nowhere near as much heat. You can touch any part of it and not burn yourself.
They put out heat but nothing compared to a HPS or MH. Also the heat is from the heatsink, not so much from the light. So all the heat is up top close to your exhaust. In my tent the difference between Inside and outside of the tent is 2c. I'll be putting another one in soon, but dont think I'll add more than 1 or 2 more c.

Iv been looking at this to replace by t5 veg lights

m.alibaba.com/product/50045603861/Kingbrite-80W-samsung-lm301b-bar-led.html?spm=a2706.7835515.0.0.3d7e5138nfn52c&__detailProductImg=https://sc01.alicdn.com/kf/UTB8lLGCFBahduJk43Jaq6zM8FXaQ.jpg_300x300xz.jpg

At the moment I have 2 T5 tube lights in my veg tent covering 1.5metre by half a meters area well roughly that area
Each light has 2 tubes 24watt a tube, so goal Watt is 80 , that the same as these leds in the links above

What you guys think would it be better results with that in the link to replace ,my 2 t5's

I just ordered 3 they’re amazing I frequently asked this question here. They’re worth every penny I ordered from Shenzhen on alibaba it takes 5 days every time. Comes from Hong Kong is 12 hour and from shipping hub in USA in 5 hours. Good purchase . They’re brighter than the sun

The lead from the driver to the board is short because the driver is meant to be mounted on the heatsink.

If you extend those wires, be sure to use a thick gauge wire. I just mount mine on top of the heatsink, works out well.

The lead is just a about long enough, I set it up and didn't like the drive on top of the light, only reason is that it get dam bloody hot that driver box does.
Honestly I think I could cook a egg in it

I just extended the wire between the light and the driver so now the driver is out side the tent, its all wired and though I'd ask here quick just before in actually turn it on lol, Iv used house electrical wire for wiring house sockets up, you think this may be to thick fits in the connector nice
It's a good 1.5 metre long the extended wire i added, I'm worried this length might cause problems? Like the drive to work harder or something over heating?

Was like this


Bow done this


Driver can now sit on thick tile floor if it did catch fire somehow now not in the tent to catch the tent on fire I hope lol
