buying HGL 21X-PRO. thoughts?

[29attributes]

Hi guys thinking of buying above mentioned LED for 1 plant in a pc case.

from the led grow results, i think its pretty decent.

its quite expensive for my budget but i guess investing on a proper light is better than shitty lights.

decided on LEDs because all other lights gives off more heat. heat and humidity is no.1 here.

any opinions on this particular model? and other recommendations?

Thanks!

build a light for that size. xm-l2 and a couple 660nm reds.. nice killer setup for that space.. or you could try and source some boards and build it, or source some "knock off" on ali baba, or whatever that Chinese connection site is called, there crawling with ripoff's of HGL. or again, you can do a ripoff cobb and plaster two of them in there.

I own 4 of the 21x pro lights. I have one over a pepper plant and three over one auto flower that I am doing a seed run on.
The pepper plant is doing fine with four peppers growing right now. The 3 21x's over the autoflower are doing a really impressive job. These lights are advertised for a 1 square foot grow area and that is pretty close. If you keep the plant size in that area it should work fine.
They give off very little heat and are almost silent while running. They are expensive but very good quality. I suspect the Chinese knockoffs are of lesser quality, that is why I went with the actual Hydro Grow brand. The actual wattage on my meter shows about 30 watts per light.
