I am running over 550 watts with two led lights so im not sure if running 1 600W HPS would be better or not (For energy savings)? As for the heat problems i don't want them. I have never run HPS or MH but i am just seeing what his grow will produce. I am ordering a 8 bulb T5 setup with 6500K for veg and going to add 1 bulb for UV. I love the idea of being able to mix my spectrum with the T5 setup. I also like how i can mix the bulbs for different spectrum of light. It also can be a backup/test for future grows.

Good luck but the T5 will produce more heat than the setup I'm running and I get 1lb from 400w of CXB3590, but I had to pay a high start up cost for what I have going on right now. I've spent $10,000 on my diy lights which if I would've bought a commercial light it would've $20,000 and if it has a problem I can fix it.

no it took a year too get what I have now if you have about $700 you can make a light that can grow a lb. Take in mind you have to know how to grow, the light is to help you beat the heat and get the most out of your light. If I can make a light so can you and you'll save money and next thing you know you're hooked and will keep making lights. It's like a drug lol so intoxicating knowing you made it and it works mad ass that feeling is priceless.

Lol.. dude I'm not trying to get in a pissing match, but when a company only states 189x3w diodes in 9 clusters, that they're proud of their "super-convex lens technology," that they say "we been selling this over 5 years now and is still very popular" (yes, we been selling), that i covers a 5x5 space but literally doesn't tell you the dimensions of the light or weight, and my favorite.. "we have many customers wanting to buy the photon led grow light so we are selling the photon now," you mean to tell me... there was a demand for a quality product in an industry and you guys jumped on the wagon to make a quick buck and grt out as fast as possible? Fascinating... didn't see that coming.

Just saying I do not have a good feeling about that light at all. Those are the companies you'd do yourself good avoiding, because when it shits out they may not be around to replace it. (Speaking from exp)

Edit: I'll give some credit to the second company, they have useful info on their but personally still wouldn't..

I was planing to buy two hans 180w but there is no real grow logs with ONLY them in at least 3x3 space..
im going with photon just for that warrant coz the owner is well known in weed forum society and it isnt a scammer..
and for my space hans told me him self that 3x would be better option.. that is 750€.. if i had that money i will buy plc,amare or area 51

Building your own or a reputable company... even the single COB Area 51s and dealing with their backorders or whatever, is worth the wait when compared to that light... Tasty LED, Optic, Pacific Lighting Concepts (FOR DIY MATERIALS OR POSSIBLE SMALLER VERSION PANEL), Northern Grow Lights, idk, I don't keep up on all the new companies coming from RIU. kinda sad. but they are your best option.

Built by a grower, for the grower.... not an asshole that doesn't even understand what hes spewing about his product.

I would seriously consider DIY @n0kG4, Pacific lighting looked to be a "one stop shop" for building a panel with the same quality parts they use. Theyre State side so no stupid DHL shipping from Shenzen. EDIT: and that's probably your best option to stay under 500 bucks, could probably walk away without your pocket entirely empty.
