Hello everyone! Iām here, yet again, to ask for opinions and advice. I was recently given a 4x4 tent and am looking into what light(s) to put in it. After searching the forums and seeing whatās what, I have some questions. Iām shopping around Alibaba, and that place gives me a headacheā¦
1. Would I be better off with 240w x3? Or 320w x 2? Or 1x 600w/650w bar setup? I donāt know if I like the idea of relying on one large light, but Iām here for opinions and advice.
2. When it comes to UV & IR, when is the best time to run them? What if they donāt have a separate switch from the whites (run constantly)? Or one switch controls both UV & IR, instead of being able to control each individually? Is it worth it to have them then? Or with just IR?
3. Is Cree REALLY worth the extra money? What about Osram? What problems/qualms with Epistar do people have?
4. Some have varying options of white diodes vs 66nm diodes, which way is recommended? More white, less 660? Or more 660 with a few less white?
I have a āshort listā of lights Iām interested in and am trying to narrow it down. This wonāt be purchased very soon, trying to get an idea of what I want so I can start budgeting for it. Any and all information/advice/expertise is appreciated!
