180W Blackstar (get the six band if anything) only draws about 100W. I would go with that. I would much rather have the problem of having a more powerful light, and try to figure out a way to fit more plants, than having an under powered grow and have to get more lights. Thats just me. Also blackstar mixes its lens angles by spectrum. Some spectra have 120s, some have 90s, some have 60s. Depends on what wavelength.
ISIS has a 170W panel that draws about 120W, that is running $379 however.
But I don't want to take away from the thread too much.

Grow room, 2' X 2 1/2' X 7 ft closet.
Flat white walls
Grows 2 X 2 X 3 ft tall plants from top of soil pot.
Presently using a 250 MH/HPS and pleased with the results so far. Heat & fans are a pain though.
Not too sure about the 90 watt blackstar.
Thinking the
180 w Blackstar / Lighthouse, 6 band, 2 w, may be too much.
See a Dr. Growrite that only has 3 bands, but 3 watt LEDS at 150 watts.
Am I looking / thinking right here?
Seems the Lighthouse may be the better choice and just raise it if it's too much?
I'd prefer a couple of 50's but see none with anything other than 1 w LEDs.
If this is all wrong maybe you'd make a suggestion?
Thank you.
