LEDS are nice if you need lower temps and dont need the radiant heat the HIDs produce. The Solstrips are a great choice and are a much better choice than cheaper burple LEDS.
I’ve tried the two cheaper lights “400 watt” cobs with a 240 watt draw just to get my feet wet but the didn’t produce well and they ran a couple cycles before dimming as sections and individual LEDS in the cobs died and then total failure. A waste of money if you ask me.
I have 4 Solsheets running off two 320 watt powersupplies on 18 strips a mix of 2700k and 3500k strips in a 5x5 tent. They are passive cooled and haven’t gotten over 36 degrees. I can spray in my tent now without worrying of an exploding light bulb raining fire and death upon me which is nice. They produce an even coverage of light filling the entire footprint of the tent so plants on the tents edge produce as well as the center. They produce well and the final product is amazing two years and no problems. I plan on revamping the veg tent one of these days with solstrips when i have the time and money.
