New light led or cmh 5x5 tent?? Pls give input..

I just purchased a new tent and inline I upgraded to a 5x5x6 ten and ac infinity t6 I need new light to flower . I already have one 315 cmh thinking about getting a second or upgrading to two 350w led quantum boards. What do you guys recomend? I have not grown under led yet and I like the results from my 315 cmh but I'm on the fence I'm juggling between the two the cost of the 315 would be considerably cheaper but led would be nice in long run .

It's totally up to you, good results can be had from either option.

In a 5x5 you definitely want more light than a single 315, those are max 3x3

with CMH I know LEDS are a great match, especially if you already have the cmh I would just supplement the CMH with some additional LEDS instead of replacing.
@Prawn Connery @Grow Lights Australia make some good "high lights" boards that would hang at the correct height to be paired with a CMH. I am just not sure the correct fixture or what the best recommendation would be.

I dont know much about the LEDsfor growing except hlg is the go to company I'm a apprentice electrician so I could manage to build one just not sure what to buy for best spectrum.

So far I'm having good results in my cold room with my 315 and 2 -250w hps but I want to have one less light since I upgraded to a tent for better control so either two 315 or 315 and led or just led the hps I'm using are big and bulky old highbay lights with some diy ingenuity but are always in the way.

Cheapest, simplest route would be using strips or boards.
3500k spectrum is a good choice for veg/flower.
I have used both on my fixtures, so it's more price/form factor as a deciding factor.
So, another 315 would rock that space.
Or, 600 watts of good diodes.

Got the same size tent and have been using a Kind K5 XL1000 LED for a few years. I can't complain about my results. I'm happy with their brand of lighting - their remote sucks but at least it's something. One thing to note is there are 4 fans which do add to the noise in the room. I first tried to cheap out with LEDs - definitely do not recommend wasting the time or money on that!
