Wish list lights. Scynce LED - Dragon SL 600w would be perfect for that space if you have a spare 20k looking for a new home.

Try 27k 🙂 last time I got pricing, but in all fairness you can build a much more powerful light than that DIY.

I have 6x 288QB's, so total of 720+ true watts from the wall.

 

How much is a HPS setup for interest sake? Can't you get LED's for a similar price?

Like how much will 1x 400W HPS setup cost? I believe generally one would get better yields out of an LED light compared to an HPS light as well interms of grams per watt. I have had no interest in looking into any lighting other than LED's.

Yes, do a little research. Magnetic setup parts shouldn't cost too much.

If you run into challenges let me know and I'll help where I can. I repaired a LOT of repurposed floodlights to grow with before the introduction of LED
