Hey all,
I have an 8x8 tent that I need lighting for. I had planned on running x4 630w DE's with Silverstar 4XL reflectors ($500 CAD per unit) until I started looking into LED's. Half of the tent is a 10-site UC RDWC, and the other half is soil. The whole tent will be packed wall to wall, minus space for an AC unit.
I'm $2k to go with the DE setup, and obviously heat is going to be an issue with those.
I'm now looking at three different LED's...
HLG-550 ($1340)
Optic 6 GEN3 COB ($850)
Phlizon Cree Cob 3000w ($500)
I'm just wondering what suggestions the community has, and if there are alternatives? It was suggested to me on another thread that there's easy DIY assembly packages but I'm not sure where to go for those.
I know the Phlizon aren't anywhere near what the HLG units are, but they are 1/3 the cost. I'm also curious what sort of BTU's the HLG units throw off, especially comparable to the COB units.
My LED knowledge is at newb status so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
