I don’t know which LED to buy?

[savagemonk]

I’m shopping for a new led for a 4x4 or a pair for a 2x4 each. Dimmable, best diodes, generous far red, 1000 ppfd average and not too expensive.
So far I’m considering growers choice 720.

I’m suspicious scynce raging kush 2.0 isn’t as great as it’s marketed to be. They don’t mention their diode manufacturer. Have heard secondary optics absorb up to 10% of the light and reflect some light backwards. Not sure if secondary optics make lights better.

Any suggestions?

Very happy with my spider farmer quantum boards for waaaaaay less $.

If I had a grand to drop on a light that growers choice you're looking at looks damn good though.

Bar style setups are the new black haha

I’ve just finished a light review on a Spider Farmer sf2000 in a 3x3x6’ tent ... + 1 with GS95

Currently using spider farmer sf 2000 in a 2x4 (first grow). No complaints, certainly enough light also has dimming feature. I have heard only good things about spider farmer. They also have great customer service. They sent me 4 complimentary fabric planters that im currently using, fits perfectly in my tent.

i'd say you have lots of options to choose from. spider farm, mars hydro, budget light, and some more.
i use mars and have had good results with the sp3000 and ts1000.
I've also seen growers do fabulous grow with spider farmer sf2000. If you really want to find out which one would fit your needs is to watch some led spectrum light par reading videos as there is a lot of them out there. One last thing, don't cheap out on the light.

I too have sf2000 in 2x4. Works well.
And a kingbrite 480 in a 4x4.

Would suggest getting 2x240w or 2x320 for the 4x4.

I would checkout kingbrite. Cheap and bang for the buck. Similar to HLG

 

[JSH1973]

I have two Mars Hydro TS1000 in a 2x4 and I'm well happy, for a 4x4 tent you could stick 4 of them in the tent and still get away with 500 quid for 600w, plus you have the flexibility of more smaller units when swapping between tents and they can also be daisy chained together in the individual tents.

 

[Legobuzzard]

Look into hlg. Hard to match the even distribution of light.

I was going to buy a pair of 720’s but after reading reviews I went with the 680’s. I smashed 3 a light on my first run and see close to 4 a light in the future.

Spider Farmer is a good choice

Spider Farmer is a good choice

For some time I thought I was missing out when my sf2k did not have uv Led. But in hindsight I was better off without.

 

[MIMedGrower]

Spider Farmer is a good choice

Do you even know why you say that? You have never answered any question asked about your companies lamps since you got here.

 

[Goblinkiller]

If spiderfarmer cant answer these questions then I dont see a reason that the chinese alibaba boards coming in at half their price wont be a better option for plants and wallet

 

[ReeferRon]

If you want bang for your buck, and don't mind buying directly from China, Alibaba is a great place for a budget LED. I went with a Meijiu A8 and have no regrets. Meanwell driver, Samsung diodes, and coverage of a 4x4 area like I have never seen. $650 USD shipped to my door. This light is just for flower and as I have just hung it, cant vouch for how good it will do so ...yet. Plants go into flower on Jan 2nd...

They have an even better F8 with foldable capabilities and like 1000 more diodes than mine for like $100-$150 more.

If you want full spec spider farmer, if you want 2 cycle viperspectra 600w reflector series.

 

[BigCube]

You can save massive cash going with a good well known off brand like kingbrite. Seriously less than half the price, tons of us on this forum are using them and have been for over a year now. Just a thought if you were looking at affordable options.

 

[johnursery]

Sub'd I'm looking at lights too and so far have been leaning towards kingbrite for affordability and reputation but I feel like I've still got so much information to learn before id be able to give any advice

 

[One drop]

Give me any light and I’ll grow a crop under it .... easy as that it all boils down to the mighty buck and how much you got to spend buy the light you can afford and grow with it ......

I would highly recommend avoiding Grower Choice.

I just bought one and it looks like it was assembled in the dark by someone with no fingers.

Company says "it's fine."
