Best lights for 2x2 in 2024?

[Louwop40]

Currently stuck between these 3 but are open to other recommendations:

Mars Hydro TS1000
XS1500 Pro
Migro Array 2

Migro array seems nice for temperature regulation as does the Mars Hydro but the XS1500 seems like it will outperform either for quite a bit cheaper.

Anyone with experience with these lights/brands that can give me advice?

Also how bad could temps increase over my current 50w led setup for germinating that seemingly alr exchanges more than enough air?

Kinda want to upgrade my 100 watter for this in my 2.6 x 2.6 tent. Sounds like it was made for that tent. lol. Other half would kill me though. lol

Just tell em that you got it for free.... or you won a contest.

I went w the Viparspectra XS1500 Pro if anyone was wondering, figured if I upgrade my tent I'd be spending more on a bigger light anyways but that won't be for a while

i have the older version of those lumateks. attis 200w 4 of them in a 4x4 and one each in 2 2x2s. these come at like 2.3umol/j or something so not the most efficient but i consistently pull around 180gr (+/-10gr) per light driven at 60% with proper training. so no complaints on these ones.

i purchased a cheap 240watt led light from amazon for my 2x2 tent and dude it has the worst driver known too man, decent diodes right? samsung lm281b's but the driver sucks balls. if i was you id go with the viparspectra xs1500 pro and call it a day that par map is amazing for a 2x2 area <3 :3

A 3x3 bar light that fits in a 2x2 would be smashing it
