All depends on your environment and ventilation system 3 watt LEDs produce less Heat.

Too much heat for sure if tent is closed, even w/exhaust
Start with one panel I would add
In my opinion there is no better value than these galaxyhydro. You might find something a little bit cheaper but at least with galaxyhydro if you have a problem you are covered they have great customer service and they back their warranty.cob are a bit expensive looking at a 3 by 3 space
You are right though pushing that much in a tent could be a heat problem. Two 300s would be sufficient I always like to use smaller units instead of one big one. Down the road you can always break them up and use them in other places.2 600's in a 3x3 ?

Couldnt agree more :)All depends on your environment and ventilation system 3 watt LEDs produce less Heat.

check out the led forum threads.......... https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/forums/l-e-d-grow-lights.137/wanting to up-grade lighting . ant information on LED would be helpful. Kind Led's look (k3 - L450) - the Virspectrue (misspelled) has a 400watt veg/bloom, there are other Mars, Cob ???please help
Sure,when comparing any lighting fixture, be it legacy HID, cfl, hps/mh, you always factor 3.41 btu per watt. Doesnt matter if its led or not, a watt out of the wall creates 3.41 btu of thermal heat load. watt for watt light type x lite type
Here is a calculator
yup you are correct........ less watts = less heat

As far as I understand it a 3 watt is more energy efficient. What I mean by efficiency as far as heat and electricity would be LEDs that are emitting unusable light.check out the led forum threads.......... https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/forums/l-e-d-grow-lights.137/
3 watters is the way I understand it as well.As far as I understand it a 3 watt is more energy efficient. What I mean by efficiency as far as heat and electricity would be LEDs that are emitting unusable light.
That's why I consider cobs not to be efficient. Although they are Kick-Ass they are not the most efficient option as far as heat and electricity.yup you are correct........ less watts = less heat

I use both 3w and 5w chips3 watters is the way I understand it as well.
And there is some data coming in that chip on board (cobs) will start failing due to the heat load and frying the boards. It is a well known fact that the led industry hasnt yet figured out how to effectively deal with the heat generated with cob. Check out LED magazine lots of great data and write-ups there if your into led tech.That's why I consider cobs not to be efficient.

Thank you for that - im building cob unit as we speakAnd there is some data coming in that chip on board (cobs) will start failing due to the heat load and frying the boards.

I agree. I have a cob and I made sure it was active. I think those guys running non-active cobs are just going to fry their shit earlyAnd there is some data coming in that chip on board (cobs) will start failing due to the heat load and frying the boards.

I would have to agree. Until the industry figures a way to manage thermal stress I dont think service life will match what we are being told we can expect 30,000-50,000 hrsI agree. I have a cob and I made sure it was active. I think those guys running non-active cobs are just going to fry their shit early
I like to mix it up with a little bit of everything.Thank you for that - im building cob unit as we speak
All the new info helps
And honestly led is still not very efficient as it can someday be. Although it is more efficient than other forms of lighting. Here is why I say this,That's why I consider cobs not to be efficient. Although they are Kick-Ass they are not the most efficient option as far as heat and electricity.
