LED lights need help or direction on what to buy

[Pushrod Monkey]

Ok nice. Have you tested the ppfd ? It's no where near what they claim right ? It's more a 3.5x3.5 than a 5x6 spread. It's two feet wide and 6 inches off the edge the par drops by 80%. Are other led's better at that. Spreading the light over let's say a 4x4 with whatever the height off the canopy to have 1000 par in the center then about 800 at the edges and then 1 foot out 600. The shzlux 4000 is 1000 middle. 600 edge. Six inches out 200.

She has no meter. But they opted to use it in a 4’ tent for seedlings, clones and young plants. It’s definitely no $300 light.

Bought one only because shipping was free to Alaska on Amazon. Wanted a Grower’s Choice ROI. But $200 shipping? Heck no.

I love this light. Perfect 4X4 light and I have it presently in a 5’ as I’m upgrading stuff.

Heres two buds under it yesterday.

It’s holding it’s own in this 5’ tent. But I’m opting for a 720 watt model with better dimensions for coverage. But for $499 delivered?

That's half of what my ROI-720 cost me. I don't know anything about the light but I'm hoping you'll fill us in once you've purchased it.

There it is in the 5’ tent. First crop in the tent. I live in a tiny one room dry cabin. Space is at a premium. But check those 4 plants.

The 640 I posted the link to is definitely for a 5’ tent with an added bar on each side.

Certainly looks like its doing what it's supposed to do ... Nice!

Never more than 80% and at this stage 60%. Sure love the savings over my 1000 HPS. Notice I’m not tagging them. I’ve got nothing going on with them. I just think for the money they’re hard to beat.

Well. You hit it on the mark. Thanks bro. I have 2 rooms with x2 4x8 tables parallel for cross lighting. Currently running x2 630w lecs over each table in a square pattern for perfect cross lighting. But I need a led set for summer. So if I can get a led set up that is under 1260w that is able to cover a 4x8 tsble.with consistent par reading of 1100 to 800 with also the added advantages of less heat than 2 630 lecs I be stoked. So I I thinking of doing 400w leds and using 3 to cover a 4x8 with more consistent par readings. Or really that light you posted is perfect if it's ppfd map is accurate. For.my buisness I run both lec 630w and hps 1000w staggered. 3 rooms with 8 4x8 tables set up in 4 rows parallel of 2 4x8s end to end for max cross lighting. Non-issue with heat at my big shop. But my smaller craft project definitely could benefit from some lecs. Likely going to do one side lecs and other side 630w lecs. What do you think about 3 400w leds rather than 2 600w lecs fpr a 4x8 table? And thanks again. Good stuff Man. Really appreciate your help.

I grow in a 3x3 and I was using an Hlg 300 problem is with these quantum boards I had to be a minimum of 24” from canopy to mitigate light stress which had me chasing Deficiencies.
I bought the Kind LED X330 and have had it up for 3 weeks so far and my plants are absolutely loving it. They look much healthier and they transitioned to bloom stress free. Plus it includes a separate dimmable UV and IR spectrum. I was hesitant but glad I purchased it.
