Thoughts on 2 of these side by side in a 2x2x4?

I’m really enjoying my Kingbrite boards. My recommendation would be to save your money in regards to the waterproof boards and go with the older style. I’ve never had an issue with excessive moisture affecting the boards or connections.
also look for the kit that included two separate boards and heatsinks rather than purchasing two individual kits.

That’s really great advice, i think the plastic coating might cause heat issues as well. Thank you for your feedback I really appreciate it.

Anytime man. The waterproof idea is great but just seems like an up sell due to them not bringing any new real innovation to market. Like adding a spoiler to a car and saying it’s a brand new model.
The one benefit I could see would be the lack of calcium deposits if you run a humidifier and have hard water.

I’m gonna take your advice and get two of these ones instead. You’re right better to keep it simple.

Looks good, the added spectrums are nice as well. Is this going to be a full cycle light or just veg or just flower?

I’m gonna use them as full cycle lights at 3500k for now. There’s other spectrums but gonna start with just the 2 for now. Really good price on it so potentially worth buying more down the line if I have success with it.

Would highly reccomend 3000k even for full cycle. Reason being blue peak on nearly every spec trig r a PhD goes from 50% at 3000k to 100% at 3500k. In flower you just don't need that much blue unless you're using specific wavelength monochromatic diodes like 435nm for those extra expressions people say they coax out.

wow I didn’t know that, thank you for letting me know. I’m using the tent for a single auto only. So you reckon if I get 2 3000k lights I will still be able to veg the plants sufficiently?
