Hey all. I'm getting ready to upgrade my led light.

Currently I have two of these https://www.amazon.com/Phlizon-Thermometer-Humidity-Adjustable-Spectrum/dp/B0752CL6KJ

They only pull 108w actual, and the par is super low. I'm deciding between the following two lights

https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Spectrum-Hydroponic-Growing-Flowering/dp/B077P386Y1

Or

https://www.amazon.com/VIPARSPECTRA-Certified-Reflector-V600-Spectrum/dp/B019ETLC7M

It will be for a 3x3x6 tent growing only one plant.

Amy input is welcome!!

First how often do you intend to do a single plant? Luckily you bought a 6’ tent. Go with the Viparspectra.

Asking because it’s the same effort and costs to do 4 in your tent. Read about SCROG too.
 
Worth considering slightly dearer but still a budget price and a pretty good light too is the Mars TS2000. Although their TS1000 is in the price you're looking at.

hello
the lights u have listed are thought of as second/third brand when picking something .....general ok but limited max yields off the mark....make great side lights tho

your a 3x3x6 ......given room to cool and pass hot air u need 2.5x2.5 light max size (i am think sheer maximums to help ) ......with a max size light u would be able to use 60* degree lens and get max penetration of light ...reducing fluffy bud and increase over all weight to plant

https://platinumgrowlights.com/product/p4-xml2/
i have one of the bigger lights they are very good .......offer 90 day return so i would say try them out in 70days if not as good as u think then return for refund .......mine paid for self in the 90 days using autoflowers ...it is 90* degree but with a tent wall at the 3x3 mark and light set for a 4x4 u should be very happy with the weight ......just rem to increase feeding for the new par value

I was actually contemplating the ts1000 but know nothing about it and wasnt sure if it was good. The t2000 is just out of my price range
 

No they dont, compared to HPS they stay fairly cool.

I ran it in a 4x4 tent , without exhaust and temps never jumped higher than 82-84f and that was on days when my basement ambient was warmer.

It throws off a very efficient white light, you can see it in my SWC sig link. The 2000's are just two 1000's joined, which is good because you get separate drivers.
