Personally, that âwattageâ means utter garbage to me, its irrelevant in most terms. I have 1000w blurples that pull 215w. When the light manufacturers wanted to be able to compare to HPS / MH lamps, they fâd up doing that.
That being said. its a very tough call in terms of âcan they grow wellâ, both tents perform well in my eyes. Fit and finish, you wont go wrong with the P4000. But if heat is your biggest concern, Iâm not sure of the marshydro TSL2000 has remotely placeable ballasts (the TSW2000 does). Still the P4000 gets warm, but nowhere near a CMH bulb, a 195 cfh fan keeps the tent same tent as the room it pulls air from (venting to outside). hottest Iâve gotten is 85, and thats because the dehumidifier ran nonstop for a week raising the room temp 6-7 degrees
edit: remember the Marshydro TSL / TSL 2000 are both 300ish watts
The Viparspectra is like 400ishâŚ
So their numbers in the model numbers are just marketing fluff
Of you wanna max it out and go over kill to have them for future tents, go 2x spider farmer se3000âs. Thats what I have in my 2x4 tent with the same idea of being enough for bigger later. Dimmable and can link in series. 320 with no tax and free 75 watt goose neck light from their website or 260 with tax on ebay sold direct by them. Meanwell drivers, samsung diodes and osram reds. 600 watts total for $520 from ebay.
Thatâs what kills me is they just label them xxxW and it really means nothing. Makes it way harder to get a handle on it. Less heat, more headroom, save a little on electric possibly are all cool and would be great, but to invest in a new light I need to clearly see better yields/denser buds/something to really justify it. You seemed pretty certain about it so thatâs good enough for me lol. I do like the idea of a remotely placed ballast though so thatâs a consideration.
I just checked them out and I like how they link like that. Nice small footprint each too. Well damn might have another contender in the mix
I just read something that suggested theyâre all part of the same parent company, something about how Samsung doesnât have any Chinese customers so most Chinese LED lights that claim them are lying. Then something about how the people that say such things are lying scumbags
I love how easy it is to get a clear answer on internet forums. Makes me appreciate OG much more!
I also have a spider farmer 2000 which i prefer for the driver and heat output but the spread isnât like the tsl2000 at all. If i went SF or VS iâd go with 2x 1000 units for a 2x4 and 4x for a 4x4.
OH NO, thatâs the Window Iâm going to kick things off!!! I apologize if I left that impression. Once itâs announced, someone with WIKI-POWER will have to do the Signee Logistics (above my Pay Grade!!). It normally fills up in a few hours, however. DONâT SLEEP, it fills up F-A-S-T. SS/BWâŚmister
