Lighting LED Help

[jambo1991]

Hello AFN, new around here and just got myself a 1x1x2meter tent was just looking for ideas on which LED's would be ideal for that size tent?
i believe 2 smaller ones would be better than 1 large? any help/info on which LEDS i should be looking at would be great.

cheers guys.

Thats a Pretty Nice Budged if You Mind the Prices of Most Prooven to work Leds. Basic rule what You want is 50w Led per Sqft in the Tent.

2 mars hydro 300w panels 180w true draw £180ish - grownorthern hs1 x2 £750 but you would only be using 150w in light.............. if your not inside a central heated place your probably gonns need some extra heat till it warms up too

Hi jambo There are a LOT of options in your budget range. I can offer up these:

The real wattage is right around 600 watts for the pair, and if you want to know how they perform, check out my perpetual grow thread in my signature. I like them enough that I bought another pair! The LED side of my flower tent is using a pair of them.
Hope that helps :Sharing One:

I own 4 Mars Hydro lights. One UFO style, 2 of their 300 watt "old style", and I just bought and installed a 192x3 Reflector style light. The new light would guaranty you would have ll the light you'd need in that tent!

Leds are a little tricky as in most led grow lights use 3w diodes, but are not run at 3w for various reasons. A 180w mars ufo run at about 100-110w according to their website. The pair of hs1s using 150w are 75w each and very efficient and if I got the money I would buy them but it is alot of money. I don't own any of these lights so I couldn't tell you what is what but mars hydro and GN have good reputations around here and when I finally replace my crappy 150w hps/mh it will be one of them 2 companies. Hope this helps as I am not very good at explaining things.
