I covered a 4x6 area two xml 350s from http://www.advancedledlights.com/ it is total over kill but i was replacing 1000 watts so why not. whatever you get man you are going to love the deference between HID and LED. I started using hybrid systems about seven years ago and just went all LED this year. when do you decide?
xgs-190 is dual mode 100w veg/ 195w bloom I thought, so 4 of them would equal 400w veg and 780w bloom and cost $1900 which if you called they probably give It to you cheaper that's more total watts than at600 at same price point.
This is a valid point, NOT many tents that can safely handle that no matter what the manufacturer says......
The tent maker I ordered from had two models in a 5x5,one could hold 66 lbs and the other 110 lbs, I ordered the 110 lb model. Any good LED light is going to have some serious weight if it's going to run cool.
MULTIPLE fixtures with more holding/distributed points is NOT the same as a SINGLE at600 70lb fixture=== we don't wanna discuss the physics of this too, do we??????lol
You may be right about spreading the weight as long as the weak point of the tent is not the corner connection.
Only liking the gorilla tent comment
because i do not agree with u strait off i am dense............................that is a just makes u look like a jackass
I wouldnt mind hearing the physics behind it, how is 4 seperate units better than a single unit when they are all supported by the same 4 vertical load bearing supports? If the single unit was only supported by a single support line that would be different but when they all have the same outermost support point the inner support is meaningless because the load is transferred immediately to the vertical load bearing supports with the single unit while the 4 seperate units contribute weight to the innermost horizontal support where there is no vertical support.
We might...
Curious about your comment here... what height are you running them at? I try to keep mine around 18", and have trouble covering my 5x5 with two DS XML 350s. In fact, I just picked up two 150s to help fill in areas that weren't getting enough light.
Okay, let's rewind a bit. You posted this thread to help you choose the best LED because you were uninformed on the subject. We, the users of LED's, answered your questions politely, and gave you good advice about AT, and A51. You then proceeded to tell us that we're stupid for paying AT and A51 "high prices", and that you found something else on your own, anyways. So even though you've never used an LED, and you were asking for our help, you still know more than us? Can you see how foolish that makes you look and sound?
Oooops.....................this is just another instance of me opening my big mouth before knowing the facts!! must be a bitch to raise and lower though with all those separate hangers? or no......
reasonable priorities.....lol
