Looking for suggestions on lighting for a 10 x 10 tent. Price isn't a factor; I want the best.

Co2 or no co2.

The best light is subjective. You want a light that suits your needs.

If price is not a limiting factor go with an led w/ spectrum control. You can document/share your experiments/experience with us here and help push the game forward. Maybe a chilled led or a scynce led w/ spectrum control.

HLG Scorpion Diablo needs a bit more height than the Gavita 1700e or Spiderfarmer SE 7000.

The fist 2 are around 600-650w and the SE 7000 is 730w

I prefer strip lights because they can be run closer allowing more height for plants.

The SE 7000 come with a potentiometer gavita 1700e needs a controller which puts it at or more than double the price.

All of those lights will provide enough light to benefit co2 and then some. In fact they are designed for that.

Synce LED has a tunable spectrum raging kush. A bit less efficient ut very very even spread and if you have a good understanding of photomorphology it allows you to play with that

ALWAYS look at the warranty thats provided because that is also part of the cost of your purchase

Thanks for the responses! I have only been here for a few days and can already see this is a great community! I am looking at going with 4 ChilLED Tech Growcraft X6. Very impressed with them being made in the USA and the warranty seems very good as well. Looks like they sell them as a DIY kit as well for about $250 less.
Thanks for the information and making me feel at home!

Yeah, you'll want to be looking at lights in the 600-800 watt range from what I have been gathering on 'grow tent' setups. Any bigger is overkill... or damaging due to light height limits.

Even with only a 460w light in a 4x4x8, I must manage canopy height to some degree, and it gets more difficult with stronger lights. You can easily outgrow your space with 800w lights.

Me, I'd be looking at 4 of these (or similar):

Mars Hydro - FC-E 8000 Bridgelux 800W CO2 Vertical Farm LED Grow Light

THIS ITEM SHIPS FOR FREE Mars Hydro - 800w Bridgelux chip, 8 detachable bars, Removable driver with dimmer knob, for 5'x5'flowering FC-E8000 is an affordable alternative lighting solution for commercial cultivation in supplemental CO2 applications, delivering uniform PPFD around 1500μmol/m²/s at...

So I pretty much have it down to:

ChilLED Tech Growcraft X6 – 1000W​

Photontek XT 1000W CO2 Pro LED

Scynce LED Raging Kush II OVERDRIVE


I would say I am leaning toward the Scynce, with the other two not far behind at all. That has to be the best PAR map I have ever seen!

You have those good problems, haha.
You can't go wrong at this point, I hope you show off whichever one you choose.
What is setting the scynce apart?
And how could the others possibly catch up?
Maybe give them each a call and see who you like and what you can finesse.

I’m leaning towards the scynce for two reasons:
The optics they employ seem very promising for great spread. Also, adjustable spectrum is amazing.
