Possible led help

[Customguy]

New member so hi to all that replay. Mods if this should be in another section please move.

I’m sure it has been beaten to death the debate of LED’s and which ones over the years. I’m currently considering the switch just for ease of use less equipment and a slight save on the electric. Every light advertised is the best just like every companies nutes. So I’m curious if money was no object which led would you use for my application and why. Flower tent is 5x5 8 footer. Running co2 closed venting unless heat causes controller to signal venting. Which light would you want and why? Fluency, hortibloom, Gavita seem to be the top choices. Thanks in advance

I really like the cob ones, Iam no expert. Something like this https://www.amazon.ca/Phlizon-Spectrum-Growing-Monitor-Adjustable/dp/B07QYRB1K9/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=grow+lighting+cob+ph&qid=1573509443&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUFk0VkdKMTJPU0RZJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTcwNTQ5MUFYSUNJS1BZNk1ZRCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODkzMjYwM0ZOVjFXWFNSQ1dOVCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl.

Really is a good price considering what you are getting. Plug and play light for 120 a watt is pretty tough to beat.

Yes and @RainDan is a great guy to do business with.

Fluence Spydr 2i has an electrical efficiency of 2.7 μmol/J. I don't think there is a more efficient light out there for a 4x4.

Is building your own an option? You’ll get much better footprint as you design it to your specific sized room and whatever wattage you want. Probably also cheaper too

I built my own light fixture 3m wide 1.5m high vertical stack with cob leds on both sides and 360 cob leds in total. Easy to do it’s all plug and play or if your handy with solder you can solder joints to make it even cheaper

Plenty of threads on here explaining how to do it

Fully Detachable & sliding, pivoting bars. Got my bars 9" on center for about 800ppfd over a 6x5 not even cranked to 900w.
Here's the Solar-Spec-C using 660w @ 4' to give you an idea of how well it maintains #'s over depth.
I highly recommend this.
