Hi,

i am currently running 2 old Mars Hydro SP 250 in a 1,5 x 0,75 Meter Tent.

I was thinking about replacing them with 2 SP3000 becouse i wasn't that pleased with the product last grow.
While being a good choice back in the day as being the only budget grow light with nice output and efficiency i feel like they are
getting a bit outdated and maybe already lost some of their power.

Lights are 3 Years old.

I know 2 SP250 are quite a bit of light for that space but if i can somehow get 20% better lighting and better penetration etc for these girls it would already be worth it for me.

Any opinions? just stick with the 250s? Other options?

Some Pictures of the lights in Action:

Have you checked them with a wattage meter? and are there any diodes burnout on the sp 250s? if not id keep running them until there done and burnt out. Your plants look good and like you said even if there starting to dim some those 2 light in that size tent is way more power then you would need.
Id thin that canopy out some to help with penatration.
