I am currently setting up a new small grow room. I am ordering the grow tent I still haven't settled on the size but it will be between 2x4 or 4x4. I been growing with HPS but want to give LED's a try. So initially I was going to buy the new Mars hydro tsw 2000 but after doing some research it seems as if the sp250 will be a better choice. So now I'm debating whether I should get one sp250 or 2 of the sp150 as it will equal out to the same price. My price budget for the lights is no more than $300. I attached pictures of the items on Amazon as they offer faster shipping. If anybody has any other suggestions or opinions feel free to drop them here

I'd get an HLG. First figure out what tent you want. For a 2x4, one 260w or 2 135's work nice. I prefer the 2 135's in my 2x4. For a 4x4, I'd get 2 260's. After code "RIU10", the 260 is $315.

The HLG was another I was looking at just seemed out of my budget but with the code you provided seems way better lol. The only thing about that one is that I would have to build it which I know I'm capable of but I really wanted a plug and play. I'm going to look up some videos on building it to see what's the labor.

This eBay kit had me really interested as it seems like a perfect combo. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mars-Hydro-SP-250-Led-Grow-Light-Veg-Bloom-Plant-Lamp-4-2-Indoor-Grow-Tent-Kit-/252548819790?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

Ok so instead of spending $300 on one light I figured I try out several brands then from experience I can lean towards one brand for purchasing a bigger unit so for now this is what I bought. Planning on purchasing another tent and maybe a spider farm light as I was interested in those as well.

You can get a decent hlg setup for 300, get 4 x qb96 with a 240 driver, if you later decide to use a full 4x4 you can buy another 240 driver.
4x69 but RIU10 gives you 10% off and a XLG240-H-AB which is around 35 iirc.

Thank you I appreciate the suggestion I'm going to look into the qb96's as I'm planning to set up multiple grow tents. The coupon code provided is really good and gives a nice discount unlike the Mars hydro ones I have received they are s always like $8 off on a $300+ purchase doesn't feel like a deal at all.
