i am trying to decide which LED lights to pick up to fill my grow space. I’m looking to fill atleast a 6x6 area. Instead of buying the larger LEDs I would like to use multiple smaller ones . Any suggestions?

Spend a little extra and go with cob fixtures as opposed to those blurple lights.

I’ve ran HPS, led, and COB and the COB lighting out performed them both. I run two 4x4 fixtures with 600w of Citizen 3500K COB, and two 3x3 fixtures with 400w of Vero COB lighting. And 200w of Vero 3500K for my veg closet.

I purchased all of mine from Timber grow lights. Best upgrade I ever made, I went with the 3500K light spectrum because it’s perfect for both Veg and Flower cycle. I’d actually like to throw a few 1750K lights into the fixture that I could turn on during flower...

They look expensive but absolutely paid for themselves.

Thanks a lot, gonna drop it to 5v5 (25 sq ft ) and aim for 800w actual draw . That will be 32w per squared foot. Also I am going for multiple smaller lightings to better distribute the light . Rather than 1 focus point .

I'd say that on a 6x6, I'd split that into 4 arrays each covering a 3x3. 320w/fixture with some good cobs, boards or strips would give you some great density.

Hlg is releasing the elite v2 board next month if you want to diy that's a good/cheap option you could go with 4 and active cool them for like 1000w with some rapidled frames it could be an easy cheap build.

6x6 you want at least 1200w so if you want multiple small fixtures you'd need 4 of these @ 300w each. you could build your own lights for a lot cheaper probably.
