I would avoid blurple. What size is your tent?

No way that light draws 460w. no way.

 

[BBQtoast]

Replaces 1000w HP's, value adding seller, VIPA say replaces a 600w 395w.

 

[PJ Diaz]

Likely 280watts at the board. Approx 115watt loss for internal fans and driver loss.

3x3x6 why avoid burple?

I'm not an expert but I would go with an HLG 300 or maybe something little cheaper like Mars Hydro FC3000. Both are excellent quality.

 

[PJ Diaz]

Spend another $100 and put together a DIY rig with quality HLG gear.

 

[PSUAGRO.]

Good for mood lighting in the bedroom though..

its 10 yr old tech. you can get much more efficient better leds for just a little more money.

would be like paying $1500 for a MacBook built in 2010, now. might be new, but you could spend the same money and get something way better.

You could also check the used market like craigslist or ebay.

You'd be better off getting the Jordan 1 Retros in smoke grey. Then buying an 600 watt hps. Better deal too. Not to mention the life change that would happen.

Old school leds can work just as well . Just under half box per meter square. On my second run now but will be running 540w qb on next to see the difference .
