New lights

God brother, that's the truth. With me starting out I'm scanning everything. I read a lot of reviews on the g8 lights and everyone seems happy including the plants. I did read that if you go that way you should pick up there boosters that go with the lights. Anyways hope you smiled today, it's a good day spider, we are alive..
 
I started out with a G8 light with the red flower booster - was rated for 85,000 hours, which is about 10 years - 18 months later half the lights stopped working, so I bought a couple of Viparspectra 300 - few weeks later the other half of the lights stopped working, so it is back in the box - red light still works.
 
Thanks for that info Canuck147 . Did it not come with a warranty? That has to be very frustrating. But you know I love my viperspectrum lights. Just looking for a light that I can keep farther from the plants.
 
Canuck, for that kind of money I would be on the phone. The light seems to get really good reviews but first hand is always the best. I can't see how a 1100.00 light doesn't have a kick ass warranty, but sh!t happens. Sorry to hear you'd problems Canuck.
 
Nice pricepoint on these. I was looking at the HLG 2x 260W R spec for $350, but the equivalent Niemi is about $330 preassembled. Not sure what diodes the HLG has. What is the difference between the diodes? The PAR seems to be the same.
 
For the money I don't think you can beat viperspectrum lights. They will work perfectly for most home growers. I have many of them and have yet to have an issue with any of them.
 
Well it was only $329 - can't be bothered to pay for the shipping.
It is a G8 240 LED

Hello everybody , I hope I by no means an expert in this stuff lights or growing. I bought a vipre spectra 600 light a 4x4 tent 4 inch fan carbon filter for 300 then sold the led light for 275.
Sold the light because I do not like the pink purple light on the tent and it hurt my eyes. Then bought a 1000watt hid mh and hps digital balist and 8 inch hood.

If I was to go back to the LED light I would buy this:

I do not know how these lights claim same as 1000watt hid lights when the power draw is only 100 or 200 watts. I do know that led require less power and amps but you do still need power to make power.
Just my opinion which doesn't mean much 😂.
Have fun keep growing.
 
Super, you need glasses when you're around the led lighting buddy, they can mess your eyes up pretty good. Be safe and nice to meet you Super.
 
Damn Spider thats a problem we all wish we had no height restrictions ,I have 7 foot ceilings in the cellar ,I bought a light from a friend 800w cob led combo I will have to hang it at the very top of my tent so plants can grow to 3 feet
 
I got an Electric Sky 180 a few weeks ago and the build quality is impressive. I had some no name LED that seemed to do alright, but in comparison the Electric Sky is a well made machine. It is over two auto plants that had just started flower and they're looking well. Three weeks isn't long enough for me to make claims about great results. Of course, lots of testimonials on their website:
