I had better luck with hps indoors. It's a lot cheaper to get 600w of hps than 600w of good quality led. Also, the heat generated from hps goes towards heating the house.

But here electricity is dirt cheap.

600w = 2046 BTU regardless of the source
E.g. The 600W LED will heat the house exactly the same amount as a 600W HID lamp.
The main difference is that the HID lamp puts out significantly less light in the visible spectrum, not the quantity of heat generated.

I only grow indoors, My house has central heating and air. I grow in my basement.

I had to get a humidifier to use during the winter. My LED heats up my tent just fine. I also have a carbon filter and exhaust fan.

I run everything off an AC Infinity 69 Pro.

That reflector is a load of crp man
There's a secret jardin parabolic your man of migro has a video on it
I'd recommend that cause it's a lighter material the other 1s are big heavy things

For £15 its a working light, that sj reflector would cost 2x+ alone.

The secret Jardine plastic parabolic really is utterly pish imo, thee worst reflector I've got.

What about the other 1s I had a heavy 1s
But I wish I had of done it sooner moment
Bigger the better dosent have to a parabolic tho
I never used that sj one but I liked the thought of a lighter one cause my one was a heavy fuker
I didn't know how to the rope rachets was a pain in the ass raising it
But I had the buds near in the reflector
Cause it's cold you can get the light closer
