Looks nice ! I'm flirting with those as well. How's the build quality ?

I'm still not sure if one 600w kit would suffice for a 5x5 room ? Or better to take two 480w kits .... ? The more light the better I guess. The advantage would be that I can alway dim thus extending the lifespan of the LED's.

Somewhere in another forum some guy advised adding one or two bars to the kit to reduce the current on each bar and also extending the lifespan of the bars. You would still get 480w (or 600w depending on the kit). You'd get a better spread aswell.

Any opinions ?

I honestly love these bar lights, the build is great, and being able to move the bars independently is nice. You could go with 2 480w or like white said, go with 4 240w QBs. But again with the bars, you can cover more area by moving the bars around and spacing them out to where you want them

The 550 by HLG is a great fixture. Other than the price, there is nothing wrong with it. I'm willing to bet it's a combination of the main lining and possibly less nutrients than optimal. But that's just a guess knowing nothing of your particulars.

Think I'll go with 2x 480 bars for flowering and 2x 240 boards for veg room.
What about heat ? Honestly i would like them to give off some heat as my new room will be in a basement. At the moment i'm in a bloody shed so I'll have to wait until the new room is ready.
But everythings closed so can't by the materials....DAMN YOU LOCKDOWN !

Did I make a mistake buying a HLG 550 last year for a 4x4? This is my first grow with it and the grow could be going better. I also added one of those HLG30 bars (UVA) for the last 2-3 weeks of flower. I am in my first week of flower. I tired mainlining some sour diesel and sour kosher than going to the SCROG. the stretch is just starting so will be lowering my trellis today. I hope this HLG isn't the reason things are going slow. It's brighter than shit and Like the company, and was expensive (even on sale). Hopefully it was the mainlining and last that slowed the veg stage down? Looking for some thoughts from experienced growers. Not the guys arguing and swearing at each other. thank you in advance buzz buddies!

Quick update on the plants under my 480w bars. Today is day 21 flower, will do a heavy defol this morning and show some after pictures. Everything on track as of now. Switched to Floraflex powder nutes about a week into flower, plants haven't skipped a beat. Yes I know the one driver is still on the ground 🙄

I could have done a bit more, but my back had enough bending over lol. Next run I will have flood tables and have them a bit higher, that was brutal to do. I also see I could have filled my scrog a bit more on both, but I had to get these plants flowering.

Second round with them not one problem.

thanks. Good to know. I am hoping to hear from someone with years of service. They should last 10 but 5 would be acceptable for their prices I think. But no one seems to have run any chinese light for very long yet and reported.

I know members online with 5 year old hlg stuff working fine or replaced quickly if had a problem.
