Mars TSW 2000 has been great. I use it in a 4x4 but is meant for a 3x3. The FC 3000 bar style will be better spread, but the TSW is still a great light and is discounted due to the release of the FC series.
I tried a mars hydro light a few years ago and it just didn't do it for me I'm not sure why. Thanks for the advice though.

Didn't do it, how? Just curious.
ViparSpectra has new lights out too, worth a look.

HLG 550
At the time I was using spider farmers and I was testing the mars and it didn't compare at all

That's odd since they're basically the same.
Get a SpiderFarmer then. They also have new bar styles

Also pretty easy to build one like this with strips and a nice driver for significantly cheaper than anyone is going to sell you a light.

Times have changed since a few years ago when it comes to Leds.

They’ve gotten pretty cheap premade. 480w bar light I’ve got in half my 8x4 was less than $300 the other of it half uses a mars hydro fce4800 which yeah you could probably build something similarly specced for a bit less.

I use 3x3's i ran HLG's QB96 elite v2 paired on HLG-240-54 per tent and had pretty good results. Now I run 4 QB96 elite v2 on 2 HLG-240-54 per 3x3 tent. I run 4 tents.

Lot of good choices available - even a new one like the Mini-Sun from Medicgrow.
‘They make good rigs like the Easy-8 and Fold-8 light rigs. Plus it’s on a Memorial Day sale for a couple hundred bucks and free shipping. ( USA )
Just try to stay away from old school Blurple.

I like those lights too, I think they got discontinued though. They have been out of stock for a while.

That looks like decent light for the money.

I wouldn't be surprised. They really didn't get any attention really. I have 2 more QB96's. But I'm going to strips next. Probably bridgelux eb gen 2's.
