Light recommendation
Posted by bigbob33 on July 9, 2020 at 5:34 pmCCurrently running t5’s for veg and 3x600w hps for flower, I’m looking for something a little more economical to run …
What would you guys recommend? I’m not super rich so I guess high end led lights are off the menu.
Many thanks in advance

I’ve Been using the Viparspectra Brand
II’m quite interested in the hgl 550 v2….
I have the 550 v2 rspec. Its a great light in a 4×4 set-up. They we’re just discontinued and replaced by the 600r. Looks to be another great light, but that would be more for a 5×5..
Do some searching and you can find some 550’s out there at a really good price..

OK.. . I’ve narrowed it down to the lumatek Zeus 600 or the hgl 550 r spec v2… anyone had experience with either of those?

If you have it in the budget go Luxx 645 if not definitely go HLG
I would use 2 or 3 Mars Hydro TS3000 depending on your grow size.
Using the Mars Hydro TSL2000.. $269
I just finished building my own lights. I got all the parts from rapidled.com. My total parts list came in just under $300, if I were to buy the same lights already built they would have been over $600. I just added these four Cree COBS to my blurple and I am getting great light. If you interested in a parts list, let me know, happy to send you what I put together. Here is the completed project. From my understanding these LED’s consume much less power.
Please send me list would love to check something out like that
I’m using maxisun pb2000 ( 3 of them ) in a 4×4 tent, first grow with them but plants love em, on sale they are $230 per on amazon. I added ir ( they have near ir diodes ) with $10. Ir diodes for .50c each and an arduino nano ( $3 ) with a light sensor ( $1) wrote a basic program, light sensor senses lights on and turns ir on.. light company’s rape people for single ir diodes in their lights imo. 🙂
