its a light that is 255watts of blurple with huge and bogus claims of being much more

it claims to replace a 1200 watt HPS, thats just utter BS.

This light will be lucky to replace a 315cmh and it wont grow nearly as good as the CMH imo.

OP, you can do much better than this one, personally, id stick with HPS or cmh in the same price range, you will get way more bang for your buck....Either that or be prepared to spend a bit more and buy yourself some proper led lights ( hlg,timber,cutter,amare,diyleduk.... etc)

YES, .....HLG qbs are one of the top dawgs on the block, those boards are highly regarded.

What is the size of your space you will be growing in? how many plants?

oh wow, thats a good size space and will require a decent amount of light.

General rule of thumb is 30+ watts per square foot .....so 6x6 is 36ft2 x 30= 1080 watts at a minimum, this is using proper leds like the HLG boards you just linked.

Have you considered going the DIY route and buying some qbs or strips, buy what drivers to power them and some material for a frame, for a space your size it would be worth it, as you could tailor your lights to cover your space perfectly and do it for much cheaper than buying prebuilt fixtures.

No, they are only 100watt fixtures, you would need 9-10 of those to cover 6x6 of canopy properly....Proper leds to cover a 6x6 canopy isnt gonna be cheap. Diy you could probably do it for $1 per watt , pre built prob closer to $2 per watt.

6x6 is a hard space to cover with 2 fixtures, you would almost be better off with 4 x 240/300w fixtures, each covering a 3x3 corner

for 20 plants? god no lol. i have the HLG 300v2 in my 1 plant SCROG and im already looking at adding another. If youre looking for a big yield of dense bud you have to do it right. cutting corners in setting up your room will lead to you wasting months of your time on some thin plants with a small yield. Trust me im speaking from experience lol

for a 6x6 id use 3 of these.https://www.ledgrowlightsdepot.com/collections/horticultural-lighting-group-led-grow-lights-for-sale/products/horticulture-lighting-group-hlg-300-v2 This website also usually sells HLG for less than retail while still being an authorized retailer with all the same warranties. With a coupon code you could probably get them for less than 500 each.

If youre going LED i would avoid anything blurple advertising being "1200 watts". Those suck. Quantum boards are the future.

Vitov I would seriously reconsider your plan. Try starting with 10 plants and think about getting two smaller lights than one big light. Two 400 watt MH/HPS would be where I would be aiming as far as overall wattage.
