Need Information +experienced led growers

So here recently I came upon a 5.5x5.5 tent and I want to switch to LEDs because of the cost effectiveness.
Currently I have 2 600 watt HP's systems running and the heat is outrageous !!! Even with 2 400 cfm fans pushing through them.
Average temps are 85 degrees lowest.
Long story short I need a system setup,(pre made or diy)
That will push nearly as much as these systems with maybe 20-40% lower for the lights combines in yeild.
I need to push the maximum amount of area with a spender budget of 750$ USD.
12 plants /scrogged
Give some suggestions. I'm not trying to buy some China made eBay /amazon bullshit. I'm new and newbie to cobs ect.
So the more information you can push into a newbie mind would help.

I can see where it could get pricey just reading.....seems I'll spend a lot before I see the profit I Invision in my noodle...are there all in one kits that could push this area better over my $750 limit? Like what if I said I'm gonna spend $1250 to have the light cover only 4x4 with outstanding results?

If you can make your own frame with simple Lchannel aluminum and a drill and riviting gun this is by far the best bang for your buck

4 of these

If you can't make a frame then timber has pre made kits for great price. I think it's best price in town.

Considering your situation.

Bro you can always go half led half HID for the time being. That would be an awesome grow to see. Search the companies I posted for a light you like with the highest amount of cobs for the cost. Also highest wattage. Then do a half and half grow. Temps would be more manageable and you could do a grow log here and we'd all like seeing it.

2 of these and a 600 would be cool to see growing.

to be in the same ball park as your 1200 watts of hid lighting I would say you wouldnt want to have less then say 800-1000 watts of led

How do I get the same deal you get from Amare. Like for reals I want to get paid by a company to do what you are doing, it sounds to good to be true. Please tell me any and everything you can about how to approach a company to get set up like you are. Thanks!

Well, first you start off by harvesting allot of good ass pot from your big ass HPS room. Then you take a shit & a thought about using LEDs pops into your head.
You become insanely obsessed w/ studying them. Totally convinced yourself you had to have one. Myself, I just had to have the BML Spydr 1200. Kept studying waiting for cobs to come out as I heard they were from studying.
Then I saw Amare. They'd just come out. First quality white cob light I could find the R+B. I believed in the enhanced spectrum already. I couldn't bring myself to buy one because the biggest one was only 350 watts & I need every fixture to always feed me a #. Talked through e-mail to the owner direct. He answered every single question. Kept looking at other lights. The 450 came out.
Bang, grabbed it & a HH.

DAMN, I am stoned writing all that. Haha! Check out my first thread n it will explain.

https://www.rollitup.org/p/12831969/

Now I grow! Get more to help w/ my success. I paid for every light & gladly continue to! Of course I spread the word. I fully believe in it.
It's not hard to buy lights when they yield you double (ROI) what you paid for 1 the first run.
So, what now's the problem again???:-?

How about laying out that price list for us.
I didnt even take my own advice a month ago when I built my first light . But I bought everything I needed from jerry for a 10 cxb3590 set up for like $730ish that includes shipping. Now imagine cobs at $13.25-$26 instead of $35-$40. I could have knocked like a $100 of my light. I am no saying Timber isnt great or convenient, hell I was about to buy one myself. I am definitely not handy or anything like that, and if I could do it then anyone can. And on a side note, the feeling of accomplishment you get when you take all these little components and turn it into a light......priceless.
