Down to Brass tacks.

Ok guys lets talk real business Im leaning towards the Vero 18s I've read that the Vero 18s are only a little bit less efficient than say the top bin crees Cxa or the Vero 29 so what does that really mean. Im trying to pull a pound out of a four by four tent per cycle or better can a Diy light running Vero 18 as the main show with maybe some reds thrown in do that or do I need a more efficient cob. Any help is appreciated but Im looking for answers with explainations if at all possible. Thanks

Vero 18's certainly do the trick. I think about 600-800w worth of vero 18's would be good to go in that space.

Ok thanks so the 5 percent lost in efficiency is no problem? So can I run them at 700ma or donI run them harder?

Depends on your tastes and budget. They certainly do the trick though. 700ma is a good current to drive it at if you can afford enough emitters. I would recommend CXB2530's, but that's my personal tastes. Get the pico EZ mate though, very worthwhile piece for simplifying construction.

Get what you're budget allows. Don't over think it!
