It's also good to have to make sure you keep your circuit safe. If you are running two 600 watt LED's on a 15 amp circuit with some fans and other stuff you would be cutting it very close to the cutoff line which is 12 amps for safety. 20% is the norm for safe amperage usage in this instance.
theres a big difference in quality leds and cheaper ones. Drivers, diodes, materials used, and not to mention customer service. They get the “1200” watts by say this shitting diode is 3watts x115 or whatever. However they know they can’t drive those shitty diodes anymore then .3 to .5 watts per getting an actual watt of 45 watts or whatever. You need true watts and figure your space based on that. the upfront cost is higher however overall cost comes down In the form of power usage, ac requirements, ending product is better in every aspect. In one grow your ROI is already there IF you can grow. these companies are what gave leds a bad name. Claiming 4000 watt lights pull 150 watts and ppl wondering why they got dismal harvest.
i am looking into the fold8. it looks nice and seems like a good long term light. more than i wanted to pay but it looks relatively cheaper than other lights with equal wattage and at this point i know im going to be spending more than i want to anyway.
thank you for this i didnt think of that. i might just run the lights on one outlet and pull the rest to a separate outlet
oh so thats how they get those figures. i guess i see the logic they are trying for but it still seems very dishonest
Remember this, more than one outlet could be linked to a circuit. Make sure you know where each outlet goes to which circuit.
Been down that rabbit hole myself. Just invested in a BlueLab monitor and pH adjuster for my next grow! A lot upfront for sure, but you'll be set there longterm! I fully expect the EZ8 to compare extremely well to my Fluence light with 3rd party reviews I've seen for par maps and light test! Very excited to do a grow with it! Everything will be as close as possible to exact in my comparison. I'll be using seeds though and not clones so I admit I wish I could do better on that front. Ethos seeds ain't a bad genetic pool to start from though!
Check out migro on YouTube he is an independent tester of led lights might give you some more insight he tests lights for all budgets good luck op
That's impossible if it draws 60watts from the wall it's a 60 watt light electricity comes from a power station how exactly would a light take 60 watts and turn it into 600watts get me some of these lights we're all doing it wrong if such a light truly exists
I got the pro with a switch from veg to flower just less than €30 inc delivery
Got the pro just less than €30 not bad.
LEDs are way more effective and efficient than older style hps/mh or even newer CMH lighting. Examples being what is out there for veg growth and how little actual wattage they us and give a grower tighter node spacing while using a fraction of the wattage older fluorescents used. Leds designed for clones require even less wattage.
Yeah that's a 60 watt light not bad for a.very small tent with one plant but you get what you pay but I it works for your needs that's all that matters
Yeah I know mate I have a ts3000 and am a regular on the Migro YouTube channel now there's a light I wish I could afford maybe next year I'll upgrade to migro array 8
Only a credit card away!
Now I'm growing for myself I am gonna save about £200 a week lol
One of these makes that so much easier. Although I can't find an argument for me running fewer stairs LOL
It's "equivalent" as they say now a days I am definitely not a pro at them lol
For a 4x4 it seems that 600w is average to 1k hps. But some newer lights can cover a 4x4 with less wattage. 600 true watts works out to 37.5w per sq ft. You can flower with way less but this seems about average for a 4x4.
