2 of these is more than enough..no need for 2k$ in lights
The big downside of those, and the HLGs for that matter, is the poor light spread, almost as bad as an HID. Look at that PAR chart, the intensity at the center is over twice what it is even at the edge of the 3x3 square. You'd have to keep the light at 24" over the center without CO2 to prevent burn while the edge of the 4x4 area is receiving less light than what you'd want in veg. That's why I'd recommend the ROI over the HLG, looking at those charts reminded me of just how much better bar style lights are. It honestly makes me hesitant to even recommend HLGs anymore.
I made the equivalent of the HLG Rspec 550 for $600. If you are a DIYer it is a fun project. You could make them cheaper buying four LED drivers at a time. It took about an hour to assemble.
I feel like this is more do-able. Thanks!
Those look really cool. What happens when you are in week 6 of flower and the light takes a dump? Just asking because I have had one of these Chinese POS do it to me!!!For the money set them

i use 1000 watt metal halide than switch it with 1000 watt high pressure sodium for flowering, though i may go to ceramic.There is just so much information on the web and I've been trying to do as much research as possible. I have been stuck in which lights to get for over a week now. I am new to this and I know that lighting is one of the most important factors and I just want to it right. I am wondering if the HIDs would be better for me to start out with or if that would make my electricity bill go waaaayyyy up. There are so many options, I'm glad I didn't order the cheap LEDs!!
Any answer you get will be an opinion. Hps is tried and true, but LEDs have come a long way and are worth considering.There is just so much information on the web and I've been trying to do as much research as possible.

I think I would LOVE one of those 12 Bars Spider light... Actually... Make that two of them, if they're any good I would say 2-3 kg out of my 1x2x2.2m tent would be a possibilityFor the money set them
