1x 1000w Duel Lumen Led Grow Light made with built in cooling fans
That light is like 200 watts. Decent Leds will put out more of a white light, avoid blurple. Expect to spend at least $.90 per watt for a good light. I use HLG and Timber.1x 1000w Duel Lumen Led Grow Light made with built in cooling fans
Youll want at least 1000 real watts for that space.I was gonna do a 1.5m x1.5m tent with 4 plants
6inch fan extraction and 4inch inlet
Switching to led will definitely cut down on the heat but if the price looks too good to be true it probably is.I will prob just stick to what I know and use a hps
Just seen it and thought was good price and maybe help with heat

A 1.5x1.5 meters is just shy of 5x5 feet, not 4x4. I agree with what you said, that 600-700w is good for a 4x4, so if you scale that watt to sqft ratio up to 5x5 you have... what I recommended in the first place.You do not need a 1000 real watts of LED for that space, even with CO2 a 600-700w top end LED light will adequately cover a 4x4 area. I can personally vouch for a Fluence Spydr 2p (645w) covering a 4x4 scrog adequately, a Spydr 2i would be another step up from there. There's similar lights from Gavita and others, even some of the Chinese knockoff bar lights have been shown to be reasonably efficient. The thing is that these are all $1000+ lights, but when you factor in the saved electricity, reduced AC/ventilation, not having to replace bulbs, and the longevity of the fixtures (at least with Fluence and other top brands), they are worth spending the money on if you know your going to be doing this for awhile.
As others have said HLG makes great lights at a decent price point. I'd say their shortcomings are that they don't quite get the spread of the bar style lights, are just a hair behind the top brands in efficiency and they may not be as durable as the top brands but they're still a great choice since the HLG 600 is $750 and a Fluence Spydr 2p is $1350.
1.5x1.5 meters = 25 square feetYou need 650-680 watts worth of real deal good LED's to do 1.5 x1.5 meters, it would take prolly at least 5 if not 6 of those lights you were looking at to do the area you want to do because those led's are garbage. You want white led's (Samsung Lm561c diodes, 3000k to 3500k) with added 660nm red diodes, passive cooling not fan cooled.. HLG, Chilled, Pacific Lighting Concepts DIY is the way to go for the best cost. If you wanna go full out you can get a spydrx mega for $1600, its about half that to do a good DIY that will be just as good

1.5x1.5 meters = 25 square feet
1000 watts / 25 square feet is 40 watts per square foot
600-700 watts / 25 square feet is 24-28 watts per square foot
For most of the grow plants will not be asking for full power from the lights but its nice to have it available when they eventually need it. Running the lights dimmed for most of the grow also reduces the heat output and increases the longevity of the electronics. From experience I can tell you there is a significant difference in quality and yield growing with 40-50 watts per/sqft vs less than 30.
If you wanna go to LED road, and the growing area is 1.5x1.5m, it's 5'x5', you need at least 800w, which can replace the hps 1000w.I was gonna do a 1.5m x1.5m tent with 4 plants
800 watts is still only 32 watts per sqft, it will not perform as well as 1000 watts hps or led.If you wanna go to LED road, and the growing area is 1.5x1.5m, it's 5'x5', you need at least 800w, which can replace the hps 1000w.
I'd like to recommend you the MarsHydro TSL2000x2, and 2xTS600 as supply lights at flower, total 800w
TSL2000, 300w, 684 diodes, coverage is 2'x4' at bloom, 3'x5' at veg
TS600, 100w, 225 diodes, coverage is 1.5'x1.5' at bloom, 2'x2' at veg
This 4‘x8’ set up for your reference, TSL2000X2+TS600X1, it's not enough, the dude plan to add some lights on the next growing
