FC4800 vs SP6500 - what to get?

I don't have a tent yet, maybe I should have made it more clear in the beginning post. Will edit it now.

I will buy the tent and the light, but just wondering about things that make me wonder, and looking for some inputs and opinions from the internet

Was just thinking about the shape. I will probably get a 1x1 meter one if I end up deciding to go square, and 120x60 if rectangular.

I know both lights are a bit overkill for those spaces, but I don't need to run them at 100% as they have a built in dimmer, resulting in a longer life for the light itself.

Hey guys,

I have had a bit of a pause from growing.

Now getting back on the saddle.

I am trying to decide between Mars Hydro FC4800 and SP6500. EDITED NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE A TENT YET

The SP6500 would fit in a rectangular tent, which would be kind of better for the space the tent is going to be in.

BUT! Here is the but; The space can easily fit a square tent too, which would be better for FC4800.

The only thing that even makes me wonder about whether to get the SP6500 and put it into a rectangular tent is that then it would line up with other furniture in the room better, as the square shaped tent would "stick out" a bit. Aesthetics....

What are your thoughts or input? Anything helps!


P.S. I have tried to search a lot but it seems these lights are so new that there is very few diaries / etc around.
