When i talked to them they said these were the two options are you sure buying those 3 smaller lights was best choice??
"Hello - for flowering a 4'x4' area, you will need roughly 600 watts. We have two options - the first is a traditional light fixture, and the second is pendant style lighting :

Redwood VS
High quality COB LED Grow Lights built in the USA using top quality components. 3 Year Warranty, high PAR/PPF output, low heat, close canopy operation, silent no fans, dimmable operation.

I didn’t buy three of the daisies. I bought three of these, for a total of 9 cobs. That’s 930 watts from the wall. It’s similar to the Timber Fatty, except with three dimmers instead of one.

Are you willing to screw a few screws, drill a few holes and connect a few wires?
If you are, just buy 10 gen2 EB bridgelux 2'(560mm)strips, a12-15' of 3/4" angle aluminum and a 600w HLG-600H-** driver and run them all in parallel. This will cost less than $400.

Question on Timbers, anyone ever tried the 1750K? It’s solely for flowering just never considered that hot

For a 4 x 4? HLG 550V2 rspec wins, Timber is good though......Own the Rspec and a Timber 2VL and two CMH's

More Photon Density to the canopy then any Timber, at 18" or 24"

Also, buy directly from HLG. Don't use indoorgrowingcanada.com

Curious why going directly to them is better?

Warranty claims and just being able to track your purchase easier. Ensuring you're not getting a knock off.

Its a beast though.

Air walker mentioned some Bridgelux GEN 2 strips in a DIY build. I love mine. It pounds the light. @Airwalker16

Though I added more strips

im running 8 qb132's on 2 lrs drivers in my 4x4 currently, had some help from a buddy of mine tho.

24x 2’ strips on a 480

Switching from my HPS was the best thing I did. Forget about lumens or Ppfd. The spread of strips over the area for even light distribution and then the environmental management was all I needed to sell me. No more running the exhaust just to cool sucking all my humidity out

Went with 2 strips so I could rip it apart and reconfigure the layout if I needed to

Just get the Fatty.

The HLG would be my choice. The wife says I need to go back to CFL’s and do better things with my time and money though

I'm a big fan of the LRS model drivers. So much better priced. And they're plenty sturdy. Just gotta be in a dry place.

I'm confused here...
Both the 560mm, and 1120mm have a data sheet max rated current of 1400ma. I've heard of them being overdriven, but that's double....
