LED Light recommendation 4x2 Tent

S.Zombie · Apr 4, 2023

Hey,

Can anyone recommend an LED light for use in a 4ftx2ft tent, growing x4 Autos.
Maximum budget is realistically €300'ish, at a push.

Preferably something pretty light on Electricity as rates here are through the roof.
Must be a hassle free light that will absolutely, 100% be sufficient for x4 autos in a 4x2 tent!

Was looking at:
• Spider Farmer SF2000 (2023)
• VIPARSPECTRA XS2000
• VIPARSPECTRA Pro Series P2000

Any suggestions or advice is most welcome.
Thank you,

You want a light that's around 300w for that space.

We have a very active LED section. You'll get better more up to date responses there

The spider farmer is a bit weak as is the V.S xs2000

I like this kit alot. If you wanted to upgrade it even more you also aff

135W QB® V2 Bspec® LED Kit

And even put it on the middle of that XL heat sync. If you wanted later you could take it back off and use the single fixture by itself in a seperate 2x2 tent for veg

I've had the best experience with HLG.

What country are you in? Make sure your getting the right voltage driver and stuff!

Careful with this one it has 730nm diodes which In my experience make the plants stretch alot

Thank you all for the info, was great to get some other ideas as I was tunnel-visioning onto the brands I mentioned.
I went for Migro Aray 4 in the end, hopefully will work well for my setup..

Thanks again!

Just saying I love my HLG 250 Veg Pro. But realistically anything will work.

"Anything will work" is true, but not all artificial light is created equal!
Cheap diodes, underwhelming power, it all leads to poor performance.
I've learned this the hard way.
POWER IS EVERYTHING. Hands down, lighting is the most important variable, followed by good soil, humidity control, ferts, trimming and training.

Don't go cheap on your lights! Invest in quality lighting and you'll reap the benefits

Thanks. I agree with good lights being a priority.

My next run is a 2x4 and currently got put in my place by my plant for pushing EC and ppfd. I am planning on two 65w leds for 2 plants. Going for photogenic plants and cleanliness over yield.

What was wrong with your previous lights ?

260w, meant for a 3x3. I was even thinking of getting more light then refreshed my memory on DLI and supplementing co2 for ppfd above 1500.

Trying to be delicate with plants next time with nutrients and ppfd. I realize now they do not need much.
