Spider Farmer led grow light--less watts, more light

Actually, depends on your need. For different diodes, if you prefer a higher quality, you can choose SE7000.
By the way, now G1000W is cheaper than SE7000

Alright thank you. Okay so plain and simple, what I want to know is, I’m in budget to go for either of these lights right now. I’ve even ran a pole on my profile some time ago with not much result.
If I was to run these two lights separately, with no Additional CO2, other than the fresh air it’s getting through the intake fan,

which light would produce the biggest yield?
Please answer this so I can finally order this light :D

9 and 1/2 oz from that light with the two plants - so happy with that I found some that was out of view so that added to other gave me that weight - best weight so far of one of these lights 20221117_122956.jpg

On the Amazon listing for the SF-2000 light someone said:

After purchasing two of the SF2000's last year, So happy with them, went ahead and purchased third one just recently (apparently, a new model) really disappointed as the diode layout pattern is completley different and the lumens are substantially lower than the previous SF2000 model. (see pic)Hope Spiderfarmer seriously reviews this, once awesome product and brings back the original.

I've also purchased 2 of these lights over a year ago like the lights on the left. Wanting to purchase a 3rd light but want to get the same as my others. Does anyone know if they have gone back to the original design or where i can get one as i dont want one of the lights on the right.

Hello, for now, we still the new layout.
About the reason for updates: New layout of the diodies and new spectrum ration can confirm it's uniform PPFD distribution, then care the edge of the plants under the light. Increase in average output.
All updates will be researched and tested. Please do not worry.

Thanks for the reply SpiderFarmer. However when looking at a copy of your website on Wayback/Archive over 18 months ago this is the PAR map:

And now this is the PAR map from your website today with the "improved" diode layout:

sf-2022.png

As you can see the PAR values on the 4 edges and center are all better on the old version. So something is not adding up with the claims of improvements on the corners.

For the main reason of new layout is average.
Not only the corner and edge, also other points under the light, you can see that we updates the layout and spectrum ration. So the Par value is decrease from the center to the surrounding.

I know what you are trying to say, but if you check the distribution on the top middle PAR values you highlighted on the old version it was 555 and the corner is 237 so it's only a difference of 318.

And on the new one the top middle is 722 and the corner is 207 so the difference is 515 PAR.

So the new one is worse with a PAR difference of 515 and the old has only a 318 difference. Wouldn't the perfect light have the same PAR values across the whole map with the least amount of difference so every plant receives equal light?

Really happy with the se3000 I really wanna flip garden over to full led lights - had 3 companies that I've asked to use there lights all 3 have agreed but I can only choose one - so I've picked what I thinks the best suited for me - I will be doing a grow of between spiderfarmer and the other once contract is up with spiderfarmer - so should be well worth looking at that post ,but i will comtinue putting post up promoting spiderfarmer I can't fault there products - they have been great the se3000 I have over the plant at the minute is doing great its on 60% atm but will be getting pumped up to full around week 4 of flower 20 tops this plant has so should do well really indica dominant by looks of it.20221127_153939.jpg20221127_153947.jpg20221127_154004.jpg20221127_154011.jpg

Well it sure as hell isnt me, I can assure you of that, and now you have just grouped anyone that posted as a fraud, if your going to make accusations just man up and point your finger, my first crop was a disaster, my second I had 1 of my plants that was decent in my mind, and this being my third, since getting a spider farm light has been staggering compared to what I’m use to doing. Don’t use a great post by a sponsor of this group to stir the pot. For Jesus sakes during a free give away at that,,, do you know that just by your shitty post, I wouldn’t blame spider farm for saying, oh well let’s try to do this again next month. Who cares if someone posted a fraud picture,, if they can sleep at night and think”boy all those guys that don’t know me,, that I don’t know,, think I’m a real superstar” who frickin cares you will always have frauds in a group like this. Just ignore them and let them live there fantasy life

I just put up an 8 x 5 tent and I have one SF4000 but need another SF4000 for the flower side. I would suggest you to install A wire system like I did On ALL sides of the light so the gardener can hang yo-yos like I did from my light as these yields are so heavy the plants tops Must be reenforced Or they would be laying over. I put 6 to eight on all four sides and it works AWESOME and looks like they are professionally installed. The dimmers on these lights are A great idea as well and I cannot believe the impressive yields I have with the first SF4000 I bought as compared to HPS.
What are yo yos and what do the do, what’s their purpose never seen this before
