Best budget grow lights?

Thinking of replacing my Phlizon 1800w LED grow lights because they are rubbish! Compared to my other cree cob 1000w LED light, the plants under the 1800w are smaller and grow slower.
I was thinking Mars Hydro or Spider Farmers.
Anyone got any recommendations? Ideally I want around 250-300 actual wattage.
Thanks.

Yeah ... not the Mars Hydro or Spider Farmer. They are a slight upgrade (maybe?) from your current Phlizon POS.

What was your price range? How large is your grow space?

My price range is upto £250 or $300. My tent is small, 1.2x1.2x2. What lights would you recommend for $300-$400?

How does one of these grab you:

Model 3VL

This three (3) COB LED light fixture features Bridgelux Vero29 COBs and a Meanwell driver. Remote driver placement helps with managing heat and custom color temperatures are available. Designed and engineered to cover a 2 x 4 coverage area for full cycle/flowering.

260W QB® V2 Rspec LED Kit

Ultra High Efficiency LED Boards for DIY. QB288 has 288pcs Samsung 301H or 561C LED

Both will flower a 3' x 3' area. Even the bud around the outer perimeter should end up pretty chunky.

How hard are those on electricity Bill's ? Always wanted to try them but stayed away due to heat and cost to operate

315 watts will cost the same whether its HID or Led.

The 315 cmh is a great light but you would want 2 in a 1.2 for flowering to light the whole space properly.

I also have 2 of these 220 watt boards from Alibaba that are working great so far. I paid €275 for 2 of them including shipping.

In a 1.2 you need 600 well constructed and quality true watts wether led CMH or HP's at a minimum. It's harder to find in an led unit for your budget, get more money quick or choose a top HP's/CMH.

I have a maxsisun pb1000, it was 10$ less than the marshydro ts600 which I also have and I think it’s better.

Those are using the LM281B diodes according to Amazon. Hopefully mixisun mounts it on a nice heatsink with those puppies. I had to look it up to make sure, but yeah Samsung has rebranded them with an "H" too as they added them to their Horticulture Lighting Solution group. They can have much higher penetration if you have the headroom, but you lose out on efficiency of course compared to the LM301B/LM301H. The LM281B/H are a great choice especially for commercial growers who already get a break on their electricity from the municipality, and need to permanently fix the height of their lights.
