It states the coverage area for each light on their website.
On a thousand dollar fixture you might save 150.00 building your own frame,and i say might loosely lol.they are pretty damn cheap.I dont think you could build one much cheaper than timber sells them for unless you know some china supplier.
That my friend is the buy in for LED at this time,You will get it back in a year or two in energy savings but its a steep curve at first.Dont overlook the CMH 315s as a little cheaper option(im paying 320 apiece right now),they still save energy and heat and as you can afford to you can stick an LED in here and there until you reach your goal.ok, so looking at timber, they're basically selling theirs for $100 per led unit with the drivers i.e. their 4 unit 200w kit with CXB 3590 CREE leds for $400, now multiply that by 8 to make 32 units and holy crap ... $3200 That's a bit too much and I'll never get that by the Chief Financial Officer (my wife) };-)
If you were willing to drop $1k in the first place, maybe consider 2 315w CMh's? That's the route I'm going. 2 315s with a kind 750 in the middle. (4x8 as well for flower)well, that's bummer, I guess I'll stick to my slow serial process of vegging and then blooming in the same tent for now. I'm in no position to be throwing that kind of money at lights. The reason I have one p600 instead of the recommended two for a 4x4 tent is because I could only afford one };-)... Right now, my girls are finishing up their 4th week of bloom and they have some nice frosty buds...
Researching as we speak. Well, type. Brb. LolAlso dont overlook those new de 630w cmh,2 of those would rock a 4 x 8 tent for flower and they are the most efficient hid light right now.i think system eff is around 40% which is awesome and so is the spectrumz :)
Yeah because the SunSystem is $885! WowzersLook up growers choice 630w cmh
I think these can be had for around 575.00 at a few spots. So 1200.00 for a pair of awesomeness blowin up tha shizzle in tha 4 x 8 dizzle :)
How does that beast stack up against the 315 you think?I think these can be had for around 575.00 at a few spots. So 1200.00 for a pair of awesomeness blowin up tha shizzle in tha 4 x 8 dizzle :)

18" from canopy. Super efficient. You could easily do the 2 630s in 4x8just to let you guys know, no matter what I do, it's going to be a little down the road after a save a little cash for a separate bloom room anyway. I think I can swallow $1200 to $1500 for lighting. I was kind of thinking if a scaled back a bit and get a 5x5 tent for blooming, only bloom 4 plants at a time with two p600, it would cost $1200. if the two 630w CMH would fill a 4x8 tent, I think I could work with that. is there a heat issue with the CMH lamps? I honestly don't know anything about the CMH fixtures. and how far off the plants do they need to be, tents are only 80" tall.
