Bedgetgrowlights.com appears to be a USA made product. One thing I did notice it that they do not publish their PPF and Efficiency numbers. You will find these to be of importance's when comparing LED lights. Most of the import lights use PAR for comparison, which only tells part of the story. You also have to take into consideration the PPF and Efficiency numbers. All three of the lights I mentioned publish the PPF and Efficiency numbers. They are surprisingly similar. PPF is around 1700 umol/s and Efficiency is 2.5 umol's. I have used both the Gavita and Growers Choice products and they both appear to be excellent at producing flower.You might want to check out budgetgrowlight.com I think they have great products and their customer support is really good
They have a 3 year warranty and use really good components
But I think the difference is their customer service
You must know here is no 60w light can hold a 4x4tent. If you decide to use LED lights in the 4x4 area, want to get decent light, your budget should not be less than $400. I'd like to recommend you the TS3000, 450w, like a beast, white color full-spectrum light. The USA price is 440usd, not inexpensive, but not cheap. Here is the short information:
Actual Power: 450W+/ -5%@ 100--277V
Coverage: Veg: 5’x5’(150x150cm); Bloom: 4’x4’(120x120cm)
Average Yields: 1.5g/W
PPE: 2.1-- 2.35umol/J
You can check with @Timbo0716 growing, the first grower I know use TS3000 here, about 40days in flower now.
If you wanted the best bang for your buck, I would look into DIY COB or DIY quantum boards. Probably the cheapest option for getting the most light per watt, and being able to build it to suit your needs.
I've used both Budmaster and also Advanced LED and both are great panels, but not "inexpensive".
Very nice light you have made there dude! I love that setup..I went the DIY cob route. I purchased 50 watt 110v driverless cobs from China. I have about $2.00 per chip invested. My last light has 16 cobs mounted on 6 heatsinks and cooled with industrial type 120v fans. I probably have $150 in that light. If you like DIY and feel comfortable building one, it's not a bad way to go. I'm still building my hydroponics unit so no plants to show just yet.
I know there are pros on here talking down on these lights but hey one light by itself actually worked on 3 indoor plants together now over 2 ft high each, not including the pots. I kept the light about 20” above them. Now flowering with 12/12 cycle View attachment 920339
Will be interesting to see how they take you into and through flowering, will you be adding more?Apparently no one paid attention I used one br 30 feit grow light and am now in the flowering stage. The L.E.D. I used was cheap like 20$. I just wanted to try it out and got good results. so I bought another to see what 2 was capable of. But here are 3 of plants that one light was on at the same time. Surprisingly here is what those lights can do.View attachment 920331
No this is strictly trial but I do have a 4 week old plant I am using two of those lights on by it self. Just trying for test purposes, eventually I will get a more expensive light system but for now I am using these br 30 feit grow lights and when I am done getting this harvest It will help me invest in better lights etc... but I gotta start from the bottom of the ladder for now. And all 3 of my plants are already flowering. Just receiving there pistils on top of the colas about yesterday been on 12/12 cycles for 2 weeks nowWill be interesting to see how they take you into and through flowering, will you be adding more?
Here is how feit made this LED, kind of weird but so far it worked. Has both red and blue spectrum in it.View attachment 920608View attachment 920607
plants still rocking 3 weeks into to flowering.
I have those Cobs alsoI went the DIY cob route. I purchased 50 watt 110v driverless cobs from China. I have about $2.00 per chip invested. My last light has 16 cobs mounted on 6 heatsinks and cooled with industrial type 120v fans. I probably have $150 in that light.
