View attachment 4746139Found this online, my assumption is it would be good for cheap tents/new growers. Normally $179 on Amazon but with code EIVIEIHQ get it for as low as $89 before tax with the clippable coupon for an extra $30 off.

I put this light together today. I think it was a good buy at the discounted price. The spread on the light is much better than the UPBUD 2000w model. They both have 200w drivers, but this has the chips spread out over a 22"x23" area, and the spread over the canopy is better. I've got this hanging over a 2.5'x2.5' area with mothers, and it's perfect for that job. I think you could properly flower a 2'x2' tent with good light across the whole canopy. 3'x3' would be quite a drop around the edges, about 33% drop on the outer edges compared to the center of 3'x3'. Directly under the footprint of the light, the distribution of light is pretty consistent.
I don't have a PAR meter, but I used the Lux Light Meter android app to get an idea of the spread of the light intensity across the canopy. I know that is less than ideal, but it does give a good understanding of the distribution of intensities across the canopy.
***EDIT*** I checked the temps after having it run several hours in a room that was 59f ambient temp. The driver was 115f, the heat sinks were 96f and the surface of the chip board was 96f.
