Hi there, have been lurking for a long time, reading about leds, and trying to cut through all the details to figure out which light i should get.

Im currently running a gavita at 1000 watts in a 5x5 tent with great results. Was wondering which high end led would do the best at giving me the same yield as the 1000 gavita but with less heat/less watts.

The units ive been lookin at are these ones:

BC Blondes 680 Game changer(301b) $1199 CDN or $912 USD
watts: 680
PPF: 1724
umol/joule: 2.53


BC Blondes 680 regular(561) $1099 CDN or $826 USD
watts: 680
PPF: 1482
umol/joule: 2.17


2 of the PLC 330's 2x$655=$1310 usd
watts: 660
ppf: 1564
umol/joule: 2.37

HLG 550 v2 $943 USD
watts: 471
ppf: 1178
umol/joule: 2.49

Timber Redwood Sam $1049 USD
watts: 600
ppf: 1473
umole/joule: 2.45

im leaning towards the bc blondes fixture, I dont think 471 watts of the hlg is enough to truly replace a 1000 gavita, the redwood seems to not be spread out enough, and the plcs are nice but way over priced.

Thank you in advance for all input.
