2 x 4 tent LED recommendations

Palomar · Jan 6, 2022

Starting a second smaller tent and wanted to try LED and not break the bank. Seems like many new lights are getting better, even the cheaper brands. I know you get what you pay for, but do any of these hit the mark for a small 2x4.

Viparspectra pro p2500
Vivosun vs4000

Planning on replacing a 600w HID with LEDs soon after… maybe a nice bar light for a larger tent.

Why have you ruled out Mars TSL2000?

For a 2x4 tent, this is hard to beat

The TSL does have a good footprint for a 2x4 for sure...would recommend..

People overlook them too much due to the Samsung diode hype..

Thanks for the responses… have not ruled out anything for sure. Just wanted some good feedback if their are other good options. Looking for long term energy savings/ efficiency and coverage for a 2x4. Thanks again

Let’s say 250-350… 2x4

I would recommend electric sky 180s. They are designed for a 2x4.

Billy the Mountain · Jan 8, 2022

The electric sky 180 is a great light, super efficient, but the SP3000 has far better coverage in a 2x4 tent.

From their website:

Samwell Seed Well · Jan 20, 2022

I'm using 2 mars hydro-sp150's in my tent.id recommend 1 is sufficient but why not 2 if 1 is good.

jimihendrix1 · Jan 20, 2022

For optimum growth, and equal HID using less watts your space should have 342.4 watts. Or 42.5w Sq/ft

For optimum performance Id recommend an HGL 350R. Its 330w.

Something rectangular or two lights that cover a 2*2 each.

I think this looks pretty much perfect, hard to beat for $300-$350

PeatPhreak · Jan 21, 2022

I have this one. Pretty hard to beat for $209.

If you want to buy something american try HLG

visajoe1 · Jan 21, 2022

in a 2x4 any qb or strip light will be fine. strip light probably has more uniform light coverage by may be more expensive

GrassBurner · Jan 21, 2022

I run (2) HLG qb288's in a 2x4 and they kill it. If I was buying lights now, I'd run 2 of those new 200 watt qb's they sell :blsmoke:

Grojak · Jan 21, 2022

How bout a Luxx 315w Ceramic MH? I’ve not used one but the LeD light I have from them kills it and I hear great things about their CMH.

hillbill · Jan 25, 2022

4 Maxisun MF1000s would be perfect, more power? 4 HLG135 or 4 130 watt Elevated Lighting Boards. I have 4 Boards in a 2 1/2 foot by 5 foot putting out 465 watts from plug.

Millworker1 · Jan 25, 2022

My buddy is running this one in his 4X2, he seems happy with it (in the won't shut up about it kinda way :roll:

) LOL!
