what makes them a fire hazard.
Bulbs have been known to overheat shatter or get something on them explode and spray grow area with hot shattered bulb glass and throw sparks and ignite fires in some Extreme cases.Note how I said Extreme cases.Donât shoot the messenger please and thank you much.

Yes, and Iâve been able to pull just short of 3kg. From 10 autos in my 8x4 using 400w led for the first half and 800w the second half. Cheap Amazon lights. Nearly 1 kg. In a 2x4 using 200w led.
Many of the less expensive ones do, and all my lights have Samsung diodes and mean weâll drivers. I honestly think anything more is superfluous when it comes to cannabis.
Just wanted to comment that if those ef-2000âs are what they say they are and last those are a pretty good deal for sure.

I have no complaints, Iâm running one of their older versions, and have been for 3 years now. And now I have one of the newer ones with the ir and uva.

Wont go into ir or UV rabbit hole, but for lm301b even lower bins, xlg meanwell drivers and the heatsink and board setup 
would be hard to even go the diy route for near the same price

Leds are getting better every year.I was going to go all out and get a greensunshine Co light and they were complete Assholes about thier customer service.I paid them and they never sent me my light never updated me never returned calls for 2 months and messed up my indoor grow time.I went and bought a HyphotonFlux light and I couldnât be happier.Some of the cheaper lights will surprise you.Iâm using a Sonlipo 1200 I just got and itâs awesome.It even comes with a sunrise sunset function built into the light one switch thatâs it.No need to buy a 300 to 900$ controller to do it.Light cost me 89 bucks working good so far

Yeah that was my first, second AND third thought as well.
Calling 555-BULLSHIT.
Best Iâve ever done is a pound in a 2x4 using 300w and an insanely high yielding strain.
The older magnetic ballasts are prone to shorting out or getting so hot that they can easily ignite in saying that you can buy digital ballasts now that are more reliable and safer due to running at considerably lower operating temperatures
Itâs leds all the way here.

Doubt all you wantâŚ
I just pulled almost 600g dry from an amnesia (not including what I pulled from her clones) from one plant that wasnât even staked and was just lollipopped and super cropped. I also pulled 700g+ from one of my first grows with 3 plants of WW that I screwed up and pissed off along the way. Lastly, I pulled over 1 lb. From 4 different plants, three being in my 8x4. I see absolutely zero reason I couldnât pulled close to an elbow per plant with two plants. Theyâd have to be trained extensively, but fit two plants that doesnât take much.

I find those that doubt for no good reason are insecure 
I donât have anything to prove to you, I was just trying to be helpful to others in this thread.
Iâve got another hotline for you⌠1-800-trollanon
Are you weighing larf and trim too lol?
Nothing about any of those pictures say 200w LED = 1000g of dried trimmed high quality bud in a 2x4 tent.
I get a lot of people fudge their numbers a bit but man thatâs just not believable.
