What led light would people suggest

[Firsttimegrower123]

hi guys
Ive currently emailed mars hydro as mines decided to break this morning im hoping that they will sort it with warranty as ive only had it for 3 months and its broke in my first grow but its made me start looking at a couple others just incase but i was wondering what company/light do people suggest its only a small tent with 1 plant in the ones ive looked at are spider grow and vipra spectra just wondering people opinions on whats best

I'm not an expert myself but I've seen many comparisons and reviews online, measuring watts, par, noise, heat etc... In my eyes, going with the MarsHydro TS1000 for one plant is perfect. I've heard only good things about that light and it's still a budget light. Second choice would be Spider Farmer SF1000 which is quite similar but uses less watts and less PAR but it has samsung diodes and it's design is cool as f..k

Yeh i had the ts600 its done brill for the plant but 1/4 of the light has just stopped working after 11 weeks :/ still waiting for an email back off mars about it i was looking at the spider farmer looks cool man just dont want the same happening again so was after some opinions still i like the full spectrum i know lots use the purple looking one like the vipar spectra though just wanted some input on them

I would spend $60 more (than what the TS1000 cost) and get a HLG 135W QB V2 rspec kit. Same wattage, more efficient and better PAR rating.

I think spider farmer and mars are one in the same. Both have identical warehouse adresses

[Firsttimegrower123]

I can vouch for the HLG. Got 2 in my tent.

 

[Firsttimegrower123]

Going to have a read into them last thing i want is another broken light lol

 

[Paulyd!satx]

For that area- HLG pricey but worth it top of the line. Spider farmer has stepped up now. A lot better. Buddies grow fire under it. Idk about mars haven’t looked at them a lot. I use my vipar450 for small plants before the even go into a tent. All will work. A lot of information throughout this forum on all these lights.

Just got 2 of them as well for my new space. 2 qb288 in a 2' x 3' x 50'' cabin; they're super bright and perfect coverage in that space. I know it sounds like an overkill for that space but I want to run them at 60%-75% only; 150w-200w max.

 

[Boatguy]

Im in a 2x2.5' tent. 2 of the 648's at 65w a piece. Have the two because i am planning on a slightly bigger tent eventually.

 

[Firsttimegrower123]

Whats your thoughts on this guys?? My grow tent is only a little 60×60 for 1 plant will this be sufficient for the full grow cycle also theres 3000k and 4000k what would you choose??

[Firsttimegrower123]

1 year warranty comes with the price of the light but how much more is the 3-year one?

 

[Firsttimegrower123]

Well im only 4 months in so surely i should be covered either way lol i hope so anyway

 

[RonnieB2]

From what i understand its a limited warranty but free and ive never heard any complaints.
