yes it is probably overkill sorry lol. The 2000 is decent price though. I was just saying they have killer deal for the sf4000.

Spider Farmers from Amazon are exactly the same fixtures that come from Alibaba. A member here YESTERDAY confirmed that his Alibaba ordered SF-2000 still had Spider Farmer branding written on the literature that came with it. So you should make sure you know what you're talking about before bashing a cheaper option of the same exact product.

So for a 4x4 or 5x5 tent, you need 500 and 700 watts for them to have good flowering results..
The SF-2000 is 200ish watts. So your Vipar Spectra lights will help but with blurple lights like they are, you have to calculate 40-50w per sq foot rather than 30-40 with white based LEDs, like the Spider Farmer. So keep that in mind. You'd need 3 SF-2000s for either of those tents.

Haha obviously its the same product just a 'knock off' had bad experience with cheap 'Alternatives' before + Im guessing you get no guarantee like you would with the real product.

Surprisingly, a few Alibaba sellers have spots in US for warranty services to mail your fixtures to. I was blown away to see a member not long ago post about his experience doing it. Think it was KingBrite or maybe Meiju?
