Recommended Lights having L301B/L301H LEDs for a 39"x39"x70" ((3.25 ft x 3.25 ft x 5.83 ft)tent for the Canadian Market

I am looking to purchase a light for my 39"x39"x70" (3.25 ft x 3.25 ft x 5.83 ft) tent. The tent area is 10.5625. 30 watts * 10.5625 = 316.875. I will use the light for the entirety of the grow cycle. The HLG 300 V2 is selling for $886.36 CAD (taxes & shipping included) while the 320W XL QB V2 R spec LED Kit is selling for $754.20 CAD(taxes and shipping included.) The 320 watt is rectangular and the 300 watt is square.

Is there a PPFD chart available for a 400 W metal halide lamp?

Other than HLG or Spider Farm, are there any other reputable brands that sell lights having the L301B or L301H LEDs for the Canadian Market?

Man, I love shopping in Canada with American dollars, LoL! But seriously, if I am up in Quebec and I want to buy Samsung tech, its best to hit up alibaba because you will pretty much get the same quality of LM301B kits as the U.S. based companies and get a better exchange rate at the same time, and best of all everything is always in stock, ready to ship....

Example.... KingBrite (Alibaba)

2 x 240W lm301B 3K with red kits = 240.66 x 2 = 481.32 + 68.45 shipping = 549.77 Canadian to your door!

OR if you feel like building it your self...

2 x double 288 heat sinks, 17.85 x 2 = 35.70, (they will give you plenty of screws to mount the 4 boards)
4 x 288 3K w/660nm, 35.37 x 4 = 141.48, (they will include enough wire to wire the 4 boards)
2 x HLG 240-48B, 48.75 x 2 = 97.50
3 x ip67 connectors, 3.97 x 3 = 11.91
4 x hangers kits, 2.65 x 4 = 10.60, (each hanger kit includes the rachet hanger and one side of the board hanger mount)
shipping to your door = 74.35
equals... 371.54 Canadian to your door!

Saw this on amazon the other day, it's cheaper than ordering from Alibaba for a 480w kit assembled.

If funds aren't a problem, another option would be 2 hlg 260 Rspec's turned down. They're $470 a piece, so $940 for 2. Kinda overkill, but that's probably what I would do, but I also tend to go a little overboard with this hobby. I have 2 260 Rspec's, a 135 Rspec, and 3 100's and am really happy with them. I wouldn't get Chinese lights myself, but they are a lot cheaper.

are you saying its more ideal to get 2 hlg 260 Rspec's turned down instead of 1 HLG-550 grow light? Thank you for your feedback.

Do you have any experience with that brand or ordering that light off of Amazon Canada? If so, what was it like?

What is a red kit and is it easy to install a red kit on your light when it comes time for flowering?

Nope none, bought a ton of led lights over the years from reputable makers to Alibaba sellers and there ain't much difference in them except for efficiency. I build all my own lights now they all grow good weed, the rest remains on the grower and the genetics.

Which led lights have been more efficient than others? and by efficient, do you mean they produce more Micromols/joule?

do you have a link for this specific setup? There are many products on the KingBrite Alibaba website and I don't know how to find that particular product having the red kits. Also, is there a shopping guide for kingbrite products on alibaba for newbies?

These are nice. I saw them in the hydroponic shop here, and they seem like well made stuff. The Co. is out of Ohio. The owner of the shop has been carrying them for some time and has only had 3 come back. Two were operator error, and the manuf. replaced free of charge. That's the kind of stuff that makes me want to do business with a company.

i don't think 240 Watts will be enough for 10.56 sq ft tent. 10.56 sq ft* 30 = 316.875 watts. I should be aiming for 316 watts or dimming a stronger light.
I said 2 units its 240 ×2 480 watts they even come with a dimmer

360$ can after shipping
They even drop the price so i dont have to pay extra fee .

Message from them when i was ordering 4units

, do you need us to make a lower declare value for you when shipping to reduce your customs duties? If not, we will declare the real price for you...

This is a good deal. I saw this earlier this year, and I'm actually looking to add this next year.
