You mean a 3x3? 300w is overpowered to allow for spectral adjustment. Wouldn't need more then 240w.

Look into the Mammoth 880w Mint White. Its got the new Samsung EVO diodes, and also far red diodes that go to 730nm. It covers a 5 x 5 area. 2613umol out of 880w. I dont think theres any single LED made that will cover a 6 x 8 area.
You wont find a better light than the Mammoth. Especially for $1000usd. But they wont be available until end of March, and if you want one better preorder it. The first release sold out in no time.
But this light will blast a 5 x 5 area.

Hi Everyone!! Thanks for ALL the input! Seriously I appreciate it. I ended up with the Phlizon light here - https://www.phlizonstore.com/products/phlizon-fd8000-1000w-upgraded-foldable-led-grow-light-bar. It actually just came in the mail! Once I get my flower room upgrade I'll be hanging it up and reporting back with how it does compared to my 2 Vipar Spectre XS4000 lights.

Update on this light. It ended up failing on me last month and was was 2 months outside of the 7 month warranty. They tried to sell me another light for less than half the cost, $200, but I declined because I'm looking for a light that actually lasts. With that being said, does anyone have any recommendations for lights that are at least the equivalent to 1000w HPS.

honestly a HLG 650R was made to replace a double ended HPS light... and you cannot go wrong with HLG its quality that wont quit on you 2 months outside of the warranty window lmfao.
here is link
HLG 650 R Link
HLG also says this about the light
"The first true 1:1 replacement for 1000W DE HPS"
and it only consumes around 630 watt's

IF PPF tells most of the story.
The HLG at 1781PPF, is 319ppf LESS than a DE 1150w HPS. With a Phillips Bulb.
A DE HPS,1150w, is 2100ppf.
When Gavita came out with their 1700e, some years ago, it was rated at 1700ppf+, and they recommended it take the place of a 1000w Single Ended HPS, in a 4 x 4 area. 1700+ppf, is about the same as a 1000w Hortilux HPS.
The HLG is 2.84 umol/joule.
The Mammoth Mint White, are 3.083- umol/joule.
HLG is $850 New.
880w Mammoth is 2713 PPF, and costs $800. 2713 vs 1781???
720w Mammoth, is 2095 ppf. Only 5 ppf LESS, than a DE 1150w HPS. $675 usd.
No Brainer which one Id get.

i looked up the price and hydrobuilder is selling the 650R HLG for 849.99...
you can get the mammoth 880w for 799.99
the HLG gives you 3 years warranty and the mammoth gives you 5? is this correct? lmfao 5 years?

Hydrobuilder, wants $1212 USD for the Mammoth 880w!! What a rip off, when it can be had for $800.

Hydrobuilder is not a credible retailer. They often sell refurbed units as new. They will list items as “in stock”, and then eventually email you saying “it’s going to be a few weeks before we can get our hands on that”, after you’ve made a purchase.
Fuck Hydrobuilder.

Ive never bought anything from them. Just showing what some moron, is trying to sell them for, when you can buy the 880w for $800.

You need to take into consideration the reflector losses too, to be fair..
