Sorry for another help me choose thread but I'm new to LEDs and can't decide what to go with. I've looked at a few different brands and sizes but not sure what to go with. I have a 2x4x7 tent and don't plan on growing more than 2 plants max in 3 gal smart pots. I have checked out the diy's just don't care for wiring my own so looking for plug n play. This would be replacing a 400w mh/hps light. Any help is appreciated.

My recommendations for a 2x4 are:

(2) Apache Tech AT200s
(2) NextLight Minis
(1-2) Pacific Light Concepts CXP-250s
(1) Fluence Bioengineering VYPRx or VYPRx Plus

If you are interested at all in being able to manipulate and play around with spectrums then also consider the California Lightworks SolarSystem 550.

Good luck

Two Photon 180's from Northern Grow lights would rock that tent and definitely surpass a 400w hps. I just ran a single Photon 180 in a 2x2.5 and the results speak for themselves. They are a great bargain as well. If height was an issue which at 7' it isn't, 2 Nextlight minis would be another great option.

Thanks for the help guys I'll check all of them out n go from there. I'm also looking at timber, kind and advanced platinum I have about a month before I have to buy so plenty of time to research before I buy.

Another quick question how long are these lasting? A couple of years a year? How long should i expect to have one around?

Stay FAR FAR AWAY from KindLED & Advanced Platinum. Cheap shitty diodes marked up to fool newbs.

@maxamus1 Timber Grow Lights has been exclusively focusing on their kits lately, but they still have pre-fab fixtures, too. I'd opt for one of their hard-driven, 4-COB CXB or Vero fixtures -probably not the cheapest option out there, but certainly one of the best.

I'd highly consider 2 next light mini's.. Best light I've used so far.. You can literally watch these things grow.. That's how go of a job they do.. Crazy growth rate. Napalm, did you like the mini more then the photon 180 or no?
