LED Light vote P2000 vs SF2000

SF2000s get the job done

I wasn't sure how much better the new design with the evos and diode layout works.
Not trying to discredit SF here. these are really ok boards, especially for the price.
And since I don't really use the original ones my post might have sounded a little harsh.
(:
 
Get the P2000, it uses lm281b diodes but the diode count is so much higher than the sf2000 Evo. I can't find the diode count on the sf2000 (probably because it runs insanely hot) but the sf1000 Evo runs 0.6w per diode, which is more than twice as hot as what's usually reccomended.

Does it really have to be one of these two? Neither of them is something to write home about imho. Youre better off waiting and budgeting a little more. A light that last 5 years is going to end up much cheaper in the end than a light that last you 2-3.
Evo diodes seems to have an upper hand in most cases but i dont like how limited they are on spectrum.
 
Where would you be rockin' these?

I think in general viparspectra has the edge, better uniformity.
Have some knockoff sf-2000s and they are pretty bad as single unit even in my seedling tent.
The uniformity is nothing to brag about even in a 3x2, tbh.
In my grow room :)

I ended up with one with a bigger footprint. Had to rebuild my hanger system to fit them all in. 20241105_210458.jpg
 
Nice setup but your plants look really sad, not really transpiring and fairly over lit looking. Dont wanna throw shade, did you get them to perk up?
I've had some problems maybe with nutes. Some say it's burn, some said to add cal mag but it got worse when I did.

I posted a thread in plant problems called "Rusting leafs?" All the help is appreciated but a bit confusing.20241108_083053.jpg20241103_214048.jpg20241108_083036.jpg
 
I am a daily smoker
I've been running sf2000s for 1 year
I have more cannabis then I know what to do with
And it's all amazing flower

Just saying these lights are imo perfect for home growers

The viparspectra xs2000 is a good light for seedlings to flower mine has served me well flowered a bunch of autos and photoperiods etc its good on its own and great if you need a boost in flower.
