Hey all,

just after some recommendations for the right size leds for a 8 x 4 room.

Tossing up between 2 x 650-700w type bar lights such as a Lumatek Zeus Pro 600w or a pair of the the 465w versions.
Hear many people saying you cant run the 600w+ lights at 100% in a 4 x 4 space without co2 so its it pointless buying the 600s and dialing them down as opposed to running the 465w at 100%?

Looking to replace 2 x 600w hps in same space and maximise yield.
Also what are peoples thoughts on the Spider Farmer LEDs such as the sf7000s?
Looks pretty decent for the price but how is the quality?

I see many people run 600+w lights without co2 enrichment without issues. I personally do too.

What’s your budget to cover the 4x8? Are you in North America?

You can run 600w with just air exchange. If it is 8by4 in a room get 1200w. If it is two separate 4by4 tents 480w per tent is probably enough.

I recently got an sf7000 for a 5x5 and i'm happy with the build quality and light output. It's big for a 4x4, but i guess it's better to have too many lumens and be able to dial it down then if you upgrade to a 5x5 in the future you dont need another light.

Thanks for the replies. I was leaning towards the 2 x 600s for the 8 x 4 since not that much of a price difference.
I also wanted the option to run a single in a 5 x 5 too so guess it’s the way to go.

Not too fussed on price tbh. Will spend extra on the quality brands if it’s worth the extra over brands like spider farmer.

Chinese versus Western lights

A few domestic companies do good work or have their “good work” made or assembled or both in China. The best lights from China or SE Asia will have excellent parts from known reputable manufacturers. Many LED light makers only last a year or 2 if that. Lots of really great values for the...
