Plug and play. Currently looking at this: https://www.ledgrowlightsdepot.com/collections/optic-led-grow-lights-for-sale/products/optic-led-optic-4-grow-light
Optic lights are really re branded Sunplusled lights so you might as well get the cheaper branded versions
I like your comment...is there a better option available (for 500.00 or less)...to get the best bang for the buck, so to speak. I have less than a week to make a decision and plug it in. Maybe I asked the wrong question? Best flowering led for 500.00 or less.
For a budget build that will work in that space I have always liked @Humple s build
I might have to spend more? I need something with a little bigger footprint.
Four HLG 100 plug n play = $596 400W perfect for 3.5 x 3.5 space & having 4 drivers is a big advantage over having just 1 driver.
The hortibloom ones advertised on this site are on sale and will beat the optics in terms of efficiency. Quantum's are an option.
Go with HLG or autocobs from cobshop.net ..flowering footprint for the optic 4 is only 3x3 ..I have 2 optic 4s they are solid but they each draw 415 watts..I’m running 6 autocobs but next I will purchase QBs from HLG
