All things aside, I am not asking about the cheapest methods, DIY builds or 3.21 jigawatts per foot. My only concern is getting results similar to/better than an air cooled 1000w HID in a 5x5 area - in terms of yield/quality and heat dissipation.
I know people swear by HLG style quantum boards but you could cook bacon and eggs on the back of the aluminum housings. This is an automatic ex off my list. Too much heat for my liking. Does anyone have experience with a Gavita or Fluence style bar light? This could be any style bar light. How is the heat? How did stretching compare to HIDs after flip to flower? How did the mass and weight compare to the same vertical space in HID?
Again, this is for people only coming from 1000w HIDs. Thank you for sharing your experience.
