LED help, odd size tent, confused somewhat

[TheHouseOfGreen420]

Greetings all,

I am having issues with my tent size and selection of lights. I cant fit most bars due to the size and wanting to keep the light from touching the tent sides.

My tent size is 1.8m length x 1.05m wide and 2.4m high, obviously with suck in and poles etc its comes a tad shorter each way, lets call it 1.7x1m for safe keeping.

What sort of wattage of leds should I be looking at? Ideally 2 lights is what im after and bars for spread. Only ever plan to run 2 plants at a time.

I am pretty sold on bars but would consider 2 hlg 550s too, but think bars are better?

The growers choice tsl 420s would be a tight fit but right now seem the only bar choice? Everything else is going to either not fit or be touching the tent which i imagine is a big no no? Not sure if im sold on the growers choice, are they a good light? 840w in total? 1090 umols decent?

Hortibloom do a 90cmx90cm 3 bar 650w light but I'm sure 2 of them is way too much watts for that space.

ChilLED just a tad too long on their 3 bar setup.

I can gamble these lights on alibaba but it seems no1 has bought from lite science and I'm not much of a gambling man.

Around 600-650 watts should do it. And that's not an HLG light, this is HLG. https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/all

A bunch of qb96 if your not totally opposed to diy would work real well...

2.4m high tent? Did you make it yourself? Or do you have it on its end?

Just throw in another option.

3x 260w v2 kits, each covers 60cm x 120cm would fit nice and give reasonable even coverage.

If you buy the boards and heatsink together instead of the whole kit then they are $185 each twin set.
Then look at the meanwell XLG 200 driver and you have a 600w light for a lot cheaper than 3 of the kits would cost.

or you can diy 2 fixtures based on 2 foot strips with 2 320w drivers.
or 3 fixtures with 3 200W xlgs.

It's a mammoth gavita tent with small customization to fit my room. I had to shorten the width to fit. 2.4m high is correct

I was considering 3 or 4 260s too.

I just want every corner and inch to have penetration, hence thinking bars are the go but maybe not now.

Cheers for the replies back to the research board haha.

That’s a lot of tent for 2 plants. That would be a nice tent for Sativas. Maybe put some side lighting too. post some pics once you get the girls up and running.
