I don't think they make 750w from lumatek.600w ain't enough for a 5x5 mate
30w per square foot X 25sf =750w
I'd be flowering closer to a 4x4 footprint inside the 5x5. Still hoping to hit 1.5g per watt.

I'd be very happy to have someone inhere actually testing shane's MIGRO Array.Thanks for the guidance everyone - I appreciate it
I'm going to keep the Lumatek (photontek) 600w as one of the options I take, but now that I have watched some videos from Shane at Migrow, I'm interested in the led lights that he sells - specifically the MIGROW aray 12 750w (Migro Aray 12 750w) which would be perfect for the 5x5.
It is actually cheaper than all options I have even with paying for postage from UK (or wherever it is shipped from).
Watching his videos and some other ones on youtube it seems solid. But as it is quite cheaper than what is sold here domestically, I'm a little hesitant. I live by 'buy once, cry once' i.e. get high quality once instead of buying cheaper things and having to buy twice.
Cheers
Hmm, that's a little concerning to hear. He does mention it in one of his videos that there are more efficient tech, but the LEDs he has used are apparently cheaper and therefore he puts more on and it somehow balances out. Not sure how it all works?Not sure how I think about the efficiency of those LEDs, tbh.
He ain't daft and he's very honest about sharing the efficiency of his fixtures.Hmm, that's a little concerning to hear.

LED's slightly gain efficacy the softer you drive them.Hmm, that's a little concerning to hear.

why so low?For an European, are there any good sellers of sub 65W lights (preferably dimmable)
Haven't been online for a few years here.
Very small growtent to grow peppers again.why so low?
not sure what spectrum peppers prefer but Id think the HLG 65 would be good for your needs. I'm using one in my 2x2' veg tent and its great. Can dim down to single digit wattages. https://www.horticulturelightinggroup.eu/led-lamps-horticultural-culture-complete-range-growth-flowering-uv/138-hlg-65-v2-3701048227042.htmlVery small growtent to grow peppers again.
Peppers don't require quite as much light.
Acefarmer 500 watt led grow light is awesome. About $200 on Amazon. Flowered out 4 grows and still going strong. One of those convertible lights that gets bigger for flower and can make it smaller if space is a concernLIST OF LED COMPANIES w/ LINKS
