It says it can but 2x2 its really stretching it. I would want 120w driver (actual draw more like 135w )per 2x2 with Samsung 301b/h.
Always felt 100w is going a bit low, will grow well but wont be as dense.
What lights? Please help! Need to get setup for harvest soon!

He's probably growing in his house bro. The tent isn't outside is it? Lol. Is your house already heated? LED's do give off quite a bit of heat tbh. I can't imagine having to throw a heater in your tent.

I am growing inside yes. In my basment so it does tend to get colder down here but yes my house is heated.

Yeah, it's hard to get even lighting with some LED's. I like the smaller panels so you can space them out and get a nice even spread.

Yeah man, will be a nice spread for sure, better than these 4 board set ups all tight together.
Nice price on them too.

You can always go old school technology and get big ole ballasts and reflector panels and bulbs that you have to replace constantly that get so hot you need fans specifically just to cool the lights off. Double the price on your electric bill. Or, get quantum board LED's. They run cheap and they run cool. If you're growing in a garage in the winter and it's cold in there than buy a space heater. You don't want to buy lights that you can't use in the summer because they're too hot. That's goofy bro.

Yeah mate 1200w of hps would kill that space easily, you could go two 1000w hps but the op’s power bill would be brutal.

i think i am gonna have to take some time to see some more opinions as i really just want the best lights for the price for my tent that will last me, save electric, and i don't have to sell and can keep for my tent setup.

60f at lowest but usually around 65f. This is during winter it gets that cold.

If you're growing indoors and you are trying to plug directly into 120v wall sockets, LED is your only viable option.
