Anyone know of some good budget friendly lights ?

have you looked on amazon, there a bit cheaper then ebay, but there genraly of a better quality and worth the extra cash. you could also look at extended waranties for your light too although you probably dont need it unless your paying out a small fortune on an led grow light.

Mars hydro makes quality budget lights, I’d give them a peak on amazon or direct website. Been quite happy with the SP150 and TS1000 models.

Buy cheap lights, get crap results. It will hurt you every crop.

Buy good lights. They will only be expensive once and they'll pay for themselves every crop.

Moral of the story; don't fucking skimp on lights.

Nuff said.

I picked up a Jungle G6 630 Watt LED for $750 a while back; screaming deal and a slick light so far.

Grow space, budget? Have you looked at any threads? This questions is asked every day.

I got their new 300w light and 2x4 tent. Their higher end stuff seems to be pretty good for the money. I've got 2 cheapo ts1000s for vegging my 4x3 tent. I usually order direct from their ebay store. Two layers of security for me

Look up migro on YouTube. He's got some honest light tests and breakdowns of the spectrums they emit. In turn my 4x3 has mix and match of cheap lights,, but my 2x4 has an sp3000. The best buy is an educated one you make after proper research. Lights are the most heavily debated subject on this sight next to flushing the toilet.

That said…don’t burn too much time or money on lights. More often than not, climate control or lack thereof is what leads to most failed indoor grows; followed by pests and mold. Lighting is seldom the limiting factor.

It seems Mars has a new line under the name UNIT FARM. Looks to be a copy of spiderfarm for alot less and seems to be good. Driver is generic but i am testing that against a meanwell.
