HLG
Both really good
Many use the Alibaba brands but I don't
Diy is an option too, also save u some $$$$
I switched from HPS to QBs, love them, all I use now, and easily 10f cooler too

Thanks mate much appreciated, what wattage would you reccommend, i was looking at the 465w ones, theyre apparently better? Im not very good at electrics at all in all honestly. Would the alibaba ones be good enough for what i require?if so what wattage?

I run around 500w in my 4x4 tent
Biggest thing is coverage. Mine are on a 3'x3' frame do covers my tent great
I don't know anything about the Alibaba lights, just the other two I mentioned
The 465w should work well for that space

Theres this one on alibaba, its 100 to 200 quid cheaper but will it still do more than a 600w hps?

1.5x1.5m is 5x5ft
You need about 750w of good LEDs to light that or a 1000w hps and that's a bit shy for a 5x5.
Leds do create heat, they are more efficient so you save on heat by using less wattage.
If your trying to match a 600w hps (which is under powered for a 5x5 if its full) then two 240w Quantum board kits will beat it.
If your English I would look at the lumatek pro 600 led, but it will be over your budget I suspect.
If you cant afford good LEDs then you can always air cool your 600 hps and shave off a third of the heat that way, providing your actually venting outside.

You can get cool tubes with a full size reflector these days which are a lot better.
Main thing is your not venting the heat out your tent and into the room.

HLG 650R will do a 5x5 if you have the height.

Reckon 2 of those would suffice? I was looking at 480w samsung and apparently that would be good
