I’ve been growing many,many years. HPS,MH, then went to the 315 watt ceramics. I had shut down for a couple years,but I’m planing to start up again. What is the best led light for a 4x4 ebb n flow table.. will buds be as big, and as potent with led.s? Price not a concern,, I just want a good gram per watt,like with hid lighting and of course potency

HLG crushes for quantum board style. Bar style seems to be the latest trend. Take that for what it's worth.

So im currently using a 2x4 tent with a 400mh/hps but my next run im gonna upgrade to a 4x4 and LED lighting is there any suitable LEDs for that coverage in the $500 range
I have a 4x4 and have a bar style roi e680. It's nice.. great light.. pain in the ass to work around because it's 1 big ass light. Sometimes an array is the way to go. You can get 5 viparspectra p1500 right now for $500... Would give you 750 watts of good led lights. You can raise and lower them individually if your plants are growing at different stages. All dimmable. And they aren't 1 big ass light to have to work around. You wouldn't have to get 5... 4 would be enough. Or get 2 p4000 lights... Would work fantastic. But it's a bit more money.

It is this comparison watts shit they use for marketing. They are trying to compare a 400w LED with 4000w of HPS making the customer think it is the same thing, or trying to.

Just numbers...they their for the toothpaste instruction neccisary crowd...

Kinda a cinderrella storey thing, if the shoe fits...get velcro

Nah not even that, they just think it makes it sound good to noobz. All it really does is stop some folk buying it at all because it makes the company untrustworthy, even if the light is good!

Shooting themselves in the foot really.
Old habits are hard to break though

A bit over your budget but you won’t regret nothing

To answer that question, other than ebb and flow are u using a 4x4 tent, you gonna add Co2? What's your budget. We started in our shops with LEDS 2-3 years ago and while there was some learning curve we've got them dialed in now. You will never look back.

With those specs and that price you might regret it

True comparison is looking at PAR values (PPFD) and wattage efficiency.
