Choosing led light

[Lyrapyxis]

I am a bit stuck with lighting. I was hoping this would be ok for 5x5 and 6 plants

What's your budget?

£500

Welcome to RIU fellow Brit.

600watt HPS and £380 change.

That's including a top notch bulb. Sylvania Growlux.

Ah a hood too you'll need so minus another £45 notes but you'll still have £335 change spare for other nice things.

Just an idea.

I know it will grow you top notch weed with a proven light that has been around for decades in this ripidly ever changing LED world.

If not HPS....is building one an option?

 

[Lyrapyxis]

I thought an led light would be best as I'm worried about heat and cost of running it?

LED lights do give off heat as well.

Yes, I was hoping not as much and led was cheaper to run?

Up front, quality LED costs more but cheaper to run.

That light you list is only 456 watts and you want to light 25 square feet. I would say it is underpowered. You want a min of 35 watts per square foot of good led. I believe that light would only be 18.24 watts per square foot.

If you can and are able to build one, I would go down that road. I currently run 2 of these in a 4x8 but one would have zero problems flowering a 5x5 room.

He did say LED though.

And you don't need to replace the bulbs every 9 months.

Two of these would kill it in a 5' x 5' .

I first purchased from Amazon then had issues and Valspectra wont honor their warranty because i bought it directly from Amazon. If customer service and warranty is important to you, buy from a reputable company and avoid Amazon
