Awesome thanks!
Should be able to purchase a 135 watt quantum board kit for that price. Put it together, hang, and go.
If he wants to go the DIY route I know there there are other options ... like hanging 2 luminus 3500K cxm cobs at either end of the existing blurple with a 1050ma driver ... but I was under the impression that he wanted something ready out of the box.
I don't mind a kit if it's straight forward. I just don't want to start a whole new expensive hobby. Is there an advantage to the quantum kit over an out of box solution?
I believe that the only tool needed is a screw driver. One advantage these boards offer is more useable light per dollar spent vs. an out of the box type of light fixture. There are others.
If you can swing it go for another 600 to keep the light balanced across the canopy. You may have to play with the height a bit to adjust for the increased intensity and you'll have more heat to deal with. Take a look at the PAR maps for the 600, 450, and 300 and see what you think works best for you. Even in a 2x2 mapping the 300 is pretty weak at the edges
I don't. I'm looking for something I don't have to build as I'm not interested in a new hobby. Out of the box solutions are best for me until I retire.
