It's about 7200-78 depending on how many extra side-lights I add during the grow.
Not sure what the dimensions will be on the new room. Not decking out the temp room that's going up now. Just gonna run what I have.
But if you're wondering what would directly replace what's there type scenario, I'd venture to guess based on the past 2 grows w/ my LEDs that x2 Cloaks & x6 Pro-4's or x5 SE-450's would do it for me.
I'd probably yield more then what I now get with this HPS.

If you buy alot of lights he will hook you up big time. He did with me and everyone I refered to him since we first met. Once you talk with him you'll get to see first hand why us guys say the best customer service in the industry. He is a top notch guy who loves what he does. Very passionate. Once you receive your lights you'll be as extatic as we all are with ours. The pro4's and se-450's I own are insane. The build quality and over all appearance of the lights are unmatched.
I like a man that believes in what he sells, i also like dealing with someone that values the consumer enough to hook you up if you shop with him on a bigger scale than most people. I'm going to get in touch for sure

Yes, completely worth it. It easily produced 2 plates for me. The cost of the Cloak is half that. It's the only 3-Dimensional grow light I know of. Vertical growing has been said to increase yields. I agree. The whole plant puts out bud n it's a shame to have to always Loli-Pop 1/3-1/2 of that.
Here I have a pic of how it grows fat nugs down at the very bottom. Even below the blades themselves.

Both these companies are unique & 1 of a kind. They use high end components, have good warranties, are transperant, & the owners are great to do buss. with.
They're the only LEDs I'll buy for my garden.
Amare & SunCloak!

Totally differant approaches in design & both equally as good to me.
I'm looking to do Amare vs. plain cobs though.
That would be interesting as well too. And I am not trying to start an argument or anything but in his last harvest video @Growmau5 said he didn't see the advantages of the monos compared to growing the same strain before, so I think a plain Cree COB light vs the Amare which uses the Crees as well aside from the monos would be a good comparison too. That would be great if you could.

I challenge @Growmau5 to grow a respectable field grown quality head of lettuce under his albatross :P

I don't see how additional wattage especially with the red peaks would not show an improvement. If you check the colors on the amare ring it is more geared towards veg though. 6-6500k and 1royal blue with only 2 reds. For a total red of less than 24watts. I'd say if an Amare went to flower with the cobs and monos vs 6 plain cobs the difference would be small but if you started a crop with Amare vs 6 plain cobs the additional monos would rock and has in all my non scientific side by sides.

You really need clones of photo plants to do a proper side by side.growing from seed and then adding auto to the equation will give wide variations in growth even under the same lighting. Theres alot of speculation on the use of far fed and even blues here but without having it lab tested against a clone grown without how would we know it wasnt just a better, more dialed in grow? I added a ton of mh lamps to my flower room a few years ago and i can see my plants are more healthy from it,but i cant say the thc is testing higher so who the hell really knows lol.

The veg aspect is pretty important to me. I stepped up my veg game the past few grows & it really made a differance. Focussing on veg allot more these days.
Yeah, the monos are important to me for this reason. But I also think they improve quality to. The full spectrum enhanced gets the plants excited. Healthy!
I to use the MH in flower For color. Brings out the purples n blues In the plants that have them. Six, did you ever do a lab test comparing your Daylight Blues to your Super Reds?
There's definitely a quality improvement using led over hps.
This next run I'll be testing straight cobs vs. the Amare's to see if there's any differance in weight & getting the lab test done to see if thc & Terps increased. Pretty sure the enhanced will come in a lil higher. But, we'll see.
That BlueCheese is a stinker hu? I ran Crital Cheese n it was bangin. Called it foot cheese.
Pretty far behind on this next run. Bare with me. Probably gonna get started w/o even painting. Just slap it together n go. Gotta be done by the end of Dec.
Might use the Pro-9 on lil plants.

BigSmo Inc. Cobs! I think he breed Citi's n Crees together to make some super mutant cob. ha!
:fire: Uh-oh, watch out Amare!!!
If I can muster up enough Power Scotty, I'll be throwing in an hps too for this one!
At a real lack of outlets this time & still not sure if I'm gonna do the whole electrician gig here cuz it's temp. N my ole-lady hates when I run cords all through the house! She like :cuss:ima kill you & your lil plants like a witch of Eastwick!
