To much light

[hebrewdiver]

i have a 36”*36”*80” tent I ordered a 900w actual watts being 394w but received a totally different light 1200w actual watts 252w which I don’t want because of the actual watts difference. I was offered another light a 2000w actually watts 394w at 15% off. I suggested a 30% off. Is it a reasonable request by me because of their mistake? Will the 2000w cause any adverse effects such as light burn?

The only watts you should count are actual watts. Lights that are advertised as 1200w but another actual wattage are usually shitty china/amazon lights not worth the hassle. Id return the light for money back and look into quantum boards

Take into account only the actual input power consumption on your meter, everything else is a fairy tale.

no, it wasn't in the lst thread you asked about it in, and it isn't in this one, either....what is reasonable is that you return the piece of shit, at their cost, for a full refund, and buy a light from people who aren't liars and con men...i don't know who you bought it from, if they're a seller using a larger service like ebay or amazon, i'd go to them, and try to get a refund.

You don’t want their lights at any price or discount. Do what you can to get your money back.

Thanks to everyone most of you are always helpful. I’m disappointed that I’m going through this. Now I have to go through the trouble of sending it back and finding another light in my price range. Damn Bloomspect on eBay. Again thanks guys helping me make a decision. I appreciate y’all

you have to know what you're looking at...anytime you buy a light, read through the information till you get to the actual wattage...if you were looking at quality leds, you could use 35 watts per square foot as your baseline, but since you're looking at blurples, i'd go with at least 50 watts per square foot..you have a 3x3 tent, which is 9 square feet, so you're going to need a light that actually draws 450 watts to get a decent result in flower...try to find one with a switch that turns part of it off, if you're going to use it for veg and flower. i have a meizhi light i use for my houseplants in the winter, it's not a bad light, with a decent price, look on amazon for meizhi....or you could get a nice light....so this..

If you do use those crappy lights you want about 50 watts per sqft, not a savings over HID.
