Freestanding LED grow lights

Hi all,
Due to grow space restrictions I could really do with a freestanding grow light. In an ideal word I’d buy an SF2000 or something, but I’m currently unable to suspend lights above my plant. I do however have a stand that takes an E27 bulb
do you think either of these would be sufficient enough through the entire life cycle of one auto plant?
I’m thinking not, but if I could scrape by with one until my situation changes I may have to try lol
I’ve been doing loads of research but the whole par/lux/umol led equivalency thing has got me stumped
Thanks in advance 😊

Was worried that would be the answer 😞
thanks for looking
if anyone knows of anything similar that would suffice it would be greatly appreciated (if such magical device exists 😊)
 
Look at ppfd and where it drops off. If there's no chart or explanation just move on

True power draw. In watts from the wall.

the hid equivalent part is a marketing thing ignor it

and remember you get what you pay for. If you can't hang a panel look into cfls at that size you would probably have more luck
 
Thanks, 1st time and I really appreciate the advice. May have to go balls to the wind and do some remodelling to accommodate a tent with an SF1000 or something
 
I would just make sure the diodes are listed like hl301H
not hl301b

H is for horticulture a lot of the lights like that will try sell you the wrong ones. The B is for general lighting.
 
May I ask why you can’t suspend the light? I can see not having room to set up a tent but you can’t screw a hook into the ceiling or set up some sort of free standing rack to hold a more standard led grow light?
 
Parents house lol
Freestanding rack would be good, just need ideas on where to start 😊

Goggle “clothing rack”. They have tons of different ones, $15 and up.

Also for the cfl grow look up the space bucket on GWE. Looked pretty cheap and easy to build.

Just for clarification, the lm301b and lm301h are EXACTLY the same diodes.
The only difference is how they list output specs-one is for lighting and the other is for horticultural use.
 
Ok. From the way it reads it sounded pretty specific. As I have said I am no expert I just read a lot. So with that said I was just wanting to make sure that you use the plant specific ones but if they are the same thing, then what's the point in labeling them diffrently?
 
I think it's solely because of their intended markets.
Lighting peeps speak in lumens and horticultural uses umoles.
 
Thanks everyone for the advice, the space bucket idea looked great, but I knew I’d end up doing that and then next grow I’d want to grow something bigger or something and be stuck again, so I found a new grow space and ordered a proper tent, ventilation kit and an SF1000 😁
Thanks again for all the help and advice, I started out thinking I’d throw a seed in a pot and see how it went, didn’t realise how in to it I’d get haha
 
gbauto is correct. However, I think the difference is mainly for the bin. Also, for the op I would look into HLG for your lights. Good luck!!
