I have my veg room with 2 - 240 watt LED's - I need to buy lights for the flower room - I need to stay away from typical HID's - What size LED's should I buy for the flower (bloom) room?

Without any details being given whatsoever as to your flowering requirements, my answer would be any size LED will do.

As a rough guess i would say at least go double your veg room in most situations, so 4 lights for your flower room, 5 if you can afford.

I agree with Karr.

Your flowering plants ought to be bigger than the vegging ones, and should require both more space, as well as more light to fill the space.

A good rule of thumb is to double the wattage used for vegging for flowering, so in this case, 4 -240 watt LED lamps would probably be the place to start the discussion.

This, of course, assumes that
a. You're actually using the full potential of your 2 - 240 watt LED lamps in vegging, and
b. You have the space and money to put in 4 -240 watters for flowering.

If not, adjust accordingly.
