If you were to order 301b. The 301h diodes with Cree reds push the pair into the $700 range.

Easy and cheap, if you have an 8ft tall tent or taller would be HLG QB96, 4ea @ $69 w heatsink and a separate driver for each. $80 per driver + $70 per unit = $150 x 4 = $600.

Already fully tested and mapped for your use by another member. Qb96 thread, quick search.

Best LED light in my opinion is the HLG 650R.

They need more space than most tents can provide anyway. 30-36 above canopy and 15inches back clearance. That's leaving 3 feet for pots and plants in most 6 anda half feet tents which is doable but not really ideal.

Popping my forum cherry here. I started with a Vivosun 4x2x5 tent with Spider SF2000. I realized that the tent is too small so I'm upgrading to 4x4 and keep the 4x2 for seedlings/clones. Definitely looking at my lighting options. Thoughts on 2 more SF2000's? or is the 600W Kingbrite @Billyjob007 mentioned a better option?
