I personally haven’t grown with either, but have seen good results with the mars lights.
Have a bit of a search on reviews so you can make an informed decision, you want to be happy with your purchase.
I personally use the pro grow ufo style leds and an 80w 2700k strip led in a 4x4 and I’m really happy with them no fans so no noise.
So 480w of leds for my 4x4 space.

So, 60 in the basement..probably 75 in the te
2 SF 4000's will cover that space perfect. The 3000's won't be enough. I have 4 of the SF-4000's and I love them. I don't think you'd ever regret buying them bro.

I'm wrong, it looks like the Mars 3000 will cover a 4x4 bloom area. I've heard good things about the brand and they're a little cheaper than the SF. The only downside I can see is that they have off-brand/budget diodes, whereas the SF has the Samsung. You'll probably get more life out of the SF.okay thank you for that. i think i will wait a day or 2 and do some research and hear some other feedback but i am pretty sure i will be getting those

Go with 4 315w 3100k CMH. That will kill it in a 4x8. Good coverage, good amount of UV. Totals around $1k.

60-65 is pretty cold for LED’s, and quality LED’s have a much higher cost. Spider farmer and Mars are bottom of the barrel LED.

Spider Farmer uses the same exact components as HLG. Top shelf drivers and diodes. So what's so bottom of the barrel about them? The cords? That's about all that's left.Go with 4 315w 3100k CMH. That will kill it in a 4x8. Good coverage, good amount of UV. Totals around $1k.

HLG makes their own PCB and uses top bin diodes. SF and Mars are the same company and their quality and customer service is terrible, I would never support them. You can find tons of horror stories with a little research. You might as well save some money and go with a Kingbrite or Meijiu if you are thinking of going with SF/Mars.
