heya guys i have recently gone led atm i have about 330 in led wats total for veg and ill be in the realm of 520watts for flower it what realm is 500w at in hps is it gunna replace a 600hps or should i go higher ? in led watts
500w of solskin should beat a 600w hps. At a guess it would fall in between a 600 and a 1000w HPS performance wise.
When I first got into LEDs I ran a 8x4 tent with 3x600w hps across it, replaced one half with 720w of COB and later on one half with 560w of Quantum board, both sides outperformed the 900w of HPS that was covering it previous.
If your still mixing those UFOs with the Solskins then obviously the performance wont be as good.
My COBs were not built for the efficiency , but the Quantums would be fairly even comparison to the Solskin.
