Is this light sufficient for one plant at a time


Please let me know if this would work for one plant. They reckon the nominal output is 40watt or.
37.5 watt.

I just want to know if it's enough to make a plant flower, not expecting mind blowing yields.

Thanks

The "360w double chip" ufo's are actually decent. They draw 80 something watts. 2000par at 6" 1,100 at 18" . I found some for $16-27 bucks on Amazon a little while back. I wouldn't pay $60 for one, but $16 hell yeah.
 
Thanks for all the replies. Please can someone have a read and let me know if it's enough for one plant. I know it's a shit light but if it does the job I'm happy

Wow...it's called 1500W yet it draws 40 actual watts. 40!

Taken from the "Features"...
Compared with HPS/HID and traditional LED lights, it saves 95% energy. Covering an area of 2'x 2'/4'x 4', it can easily replace 600W HPS or HID, while consuming 40 watts of actual power.

You might need to dim this beast down or you could fry your plants.

God I'm panicking now. It doesn't have a dimmer lol
 
I basically have a very very small space that I want to work with, hence why I'm doing one plant. I have a very small 30cmx60cm tent and obviously plan to do low stress training.

Considering my lack of space please can you advise what wattage light I should look for as I only plan to do one plant and I don't wish to maximize its yield.

Thanks

I couldn't resist...I'm sorry. so...30 cm x 60 cm is roughly 1' x 2'. I would suggest buying a QB 288 from HLG.

You'll need a driver to power it. I'm not sure what kind of driver to suggest for only 1 board, but a MeanWell driver. I'm sure others can chime in with a suggestion.

If this is more than you were hoping to spend, then I don't really have any other suggestions.

Those Amazon UK listings are all semi disposable junk, not worth your $$$. Small hid would be a heat battle in that area unless you cool tube it.

You should email diyleduk to see what options he has for a small cab grow, gives riu discounts too I think.

For your space you need 80w of the best LED diodes. Samsung/Osram.

Youve got basically 1.93 sq/ft. Its nice to get 40.3w sq/ft.
1.9 x 40.3w = 77w.

Id order some AKBeanBrains Consumption F2, and start 5 of them on 12/12, then pray for at least 1 female.

125w HID would also work, and I doubt any heat issues with 125w.
