LED Selection Help

Former grower new to LED lights and I'm having a little trouble picking a flower light.

The room is 5x4 but the grow area is 4x2. Hydro, ebb and flow. Once the mothers are selected I'll probably never flower more than 4 at a time. I just don't need to. Years ago I grew in the same space with 600w hps.

I'm looking at a couple of lights.
I like the spectrum a little more on option 1 but the output looks a little better on option 2.
Option 1:
Buy Kind LED X420 LED Grow Light – LED Grow Lights Depot


Option 2
Buy ChilLED Tech Growcraft X3 – 330W LED Grow Light – LED Grow Lights Depot


But if I go with Chilled why not get the bigger one? It looks like they are the same physical size.

I like Grow Light Science LED grow lights. So does Shane at Migro. I bought the Progrow 320 for my 4x2 tent at $295 which is 25% off normal price.

Nice PAR map

Nice Spectrum

6 Dimmer settings 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100% and external control. Dimmer knob is part of the uPowerTek LED driver.

Spider Farmer sf 4000 probably work good for you. Always promo codes on here. Probably a father's day sale this weekend 2

Stay away from the king LED’s unless you want really short plants. Get a good quantum board with Samsung LM301B or H diodes in 3000 or 3500 K with the far red with a meanwell driver and personally like stated above the sf4000 is a good choice or any 480w quantum boards with that spectrum and those diodes will do really well in that space.
A buddy started with all King lights and after showing him how the white quantum boards produced he hasn’t used the kings at all in fact I believe he gave them away. The blue spectrum of the kings makes seems to make the plants stay shorter even though they claim they use the LM301 diodes they must be a different kelvin rating. Search Amazon. You can find small 100w with the above stated specs for 35 bucks each so 4 would equal a true 400w for 140 bucks that’s super cheap and they all can be Daisy chained together. Or buy 2 240’s

Thanks for the input guys I'll check the lights out. I've got some time so I'm trying to do my due diligence.

Well, there's this one too. But I'd have to be crazy to pay $1600 for a light.

Hell, I am crazy but am I that crazy? Can my plants handle that kind of light with C02? Or would this be diminishing returns and not worth the additional cost?

look at the lights on this thing.

try mars fc4800 ......will knock a 3x3 out. add hlg uv supplement to the mix.

Ide just go with the bigger chilled light you were talking about. If your growing 4x2 then it may be perfect for that. Especially if you have white or reflective walls.

I would suggest looking at electric sky or Growers Choice. I own lights from both companies and have been very satisfied with their products. Growers Choice has the best customer service I have ever dealt with. Good luck with picking your light and happy Growing.

I have Chilled Growcraft 600 watts and Scorpion Diablos @ 600 watts and they both grow good weed. I've seen cheaper lights grow weed just as well.

I have come to the conclusion that most led lights are pretty damn good and it all depends what you want to fit in your tent. It's ll about the $$ you want to spend.

Check the measurements etc but I always figured if I did a long thin grow, I would get an FC-E (not FC) and hack it up. I have an FC4800 and it rocks in a 3x3 dimmed down.

Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I pulled the trigger on the Buy ChilLED Tech Growcraft X3 – 500W LED Grow Light – LED Grow Lights Depot The performance, the design and it's made in America. I know I could have saved money by buying the DIY kit, but I chose to buy my time instead.

The highlighted square is 4x2. If I can't get it done with this thing I might as well hang it up.

I wish i owned one of these.. 3.0 efficiency, good PAR and coverage, latest Samsung diodes and Meanwell driver, UV/IR, 10 years warranty, good price, 3 separate drivers to control the spectrum (and even when all dimmers are on maximum the spectrum is still balanced perfectly)
Overall it seems like the best grow light on the market, somehow it even seems too good to be true. Check out Dr. Autoflower on youtube if you're looking to buy an Optic LED, he can give you a discount. I will definitely buy one of these once i get a bigger grow space.

I use 4 x3-500 growcraft lights. Commercial

With a 2x4 canopy any 300w led will do the job, there’s really not much difference between any of them performance wise regardless of price, longevity, warranty and customer service are another story, but they’re just lights, don’t fall for hype even stuff on the lower end is gonna last you a couple years and outperform hid

To be fair they do have a model with like 18,000diodes on 600w, I bet that sumbitch lasts forever
