    One foot square grow light???

    Purchased 2 Novation 2000w 225 pc full color spectrum grow lights. Not a good idea. 12" x12" quarter inch thick. Can anyone tell me what the hell to do with these things. No info anywhere. Thought they might be to (hot) for the seedlings @ 36". Any ideas?

    2- Viparspectra 450W dimmable LED'S
    One in each area.
    Coco/Perlite, 70%/30%
    Jiffy pots to 1 gallon fabric pots
    Started with Foop now using GH flora trio.
    Bruce Banner, Gorilla Glue and two GSCE at the moment. All auto's.

    So Jarret i'm not gonna research your lights " true watt pull from the wall " that's what you need to do. Having said that 36" seems ideal hanging height for most LED that draw between 150 an 200 watts from the wall. Mine draws 250 watts and is a P2500 Viparspectra LED.

      Out of curiosity, I googled your lights with no result. Sorry. Most likely it is a private brand purchased from a bulk manufacturer. There is nothing wrong with that as long as the specs are honest. Find out how many watts they draw from the wall. That's their true power and use them as indicated in the GWE website. My two lights draw 500 watts.

      Thanks. I also purchased 2 Viparspectrum PAR series PAR450 Full Color Dimmable LED. Using 2 homemade 4X2X8 boxes. One in each box. Probably not enough light but everything is doing nicely.
