Quality LED's don't use fans.

But mine are hot enough to heat a tent without proper ventilation or heat displacement near the roots of the plant.

600w hps set up is costing me £16 per week, to veg 18hrs is another £16 + fans etc I'm into £60/65 a week for electricity.

No way, a single 600w HPS in veg or flower + fans and whatever else should never be costing £60/65 per week.

I'm in the UK too and electric prices are high but I pay nowhere near that amount. I'm currently in just over a hundred pound in credit and I pay £182 per month D/D which includes my 600w HPS set up and all the other household usage such as EVERYTHING.

If you are paying that amount the is something wrong

Try to get a mix that makes the light look as white as possible. those red blue ones are not very good. I have 2 here if you want to buy them.

Sorry I meant if I bit the bullet and bought one, a suitable one from ebay maybe a mars hydro for example?

It could be, might not be. Cheap quantum boards RARELY use the brands they say for drivers/diodes/etc. You'd really need to buy one and put it through the paces to know for sure.

Man I have cheep lights from philzon and I loving them I started with a 600 and then added a 1200, and a 2000watt

I was looking at these @coreywebster but the detail is very vague on the site.

Which strips are they exactly?

Hey @KK26 , these are the very same strips that Arrow Electronics was selling at a heavy discount within the last couple of months.

https://www.arrow.com/en/products/si-b8t521560ww/samsung-electronics

As you can see, the price at Arrow has shot back up.

@diyled is including some solid core wire with those F-Series strips as well.

Where did I say it was for growing only, you should read the post again properly.
£16 + another £16...400w x 18hrs @17.6p +10% = £35 then regular living, heating, cooking, washing etc etc.
It's simple maths?

That looks well respectable what wattage is the light consuming?

Personally? I would stick with what you have if it's working until you can save up a little more. The cheapest I'd look for a 3x3 is the Mars Hydro TS1000 or the Spider Farmer SF-1000. @PadawanWarrior there will recommend the HLG equivalent..... they are definitely better but for a premium $.

Basically all 3 will run at least $150 though.

I'll second the hlg because I believe,imo, the quality is there. Maybe a lil more money but it's not significantly more.

That's right. I would recommend spending the extra $17 on the genuine HLG shit. If you want the single board here ya go.

Star Dog · Sep 22, 2020

The one I linked will be close to 400w hps. If u only do veg maybe u should go for 4k lights?

BTW these lights and hlg are basically the same but half cost. Don't waste ur money, happy growing.

Second that^ I wish I had something better for veg than what's in my tent (HLG 135 RSPEC- just a board hanging with a cheap driver and no heat sink).

(it was on a major sale awhile back on Amazon)
