Advice needed for veg light

[Yarddog]

Hey folks. I grow veg in a 18x30 tent. Looking for a light for the new tent. Currently I use screw in led bulbs with the plastic globe removed. I run a few four way splitters mounted to a 2x4 board and it has done well enough.
LED price is coming down every year. It would cost me around $120 to make another light fixture using the screw in bulbs. I am happy with their output and results for vegging.
Although if I can spend the same amount on a light I don’t have to assemble that would be nice.
Any recommendations for a led light fixture for a 30x18 tent?

Step it up to a 48” L space and use these, many have good results from. Picked up 6 for future use.

Space requires this size tent. I needed a larger veg space but I had to buy another 30x18 tent. And I’ll stack them on top of each other.

Check out the Phlizon PL2000, it would do the job very well.

Thanks. I went with that Light. Cheaper than the old screw in bulbs. Things change over the years. Used to, the screw in was a good value for a small veg setup. LED lights have come a long way since I last looked into them in 2017. I’m still burning HPS in bloom

And don't give up that hps. I went back to HPS after experimenting with LED. End result is not as good with LED.

I’ve seen some really good grows with led but I think the quality of light makes a huge difference. Hps is good enough for me. I will consider led when a ballast goes out.
But hps has been good to me

Right, the flowers look beautiful but lack depth of flavor, aroma and potency.

We add extra reds and violets/near uv to most of our trays: on every blind test ive made with someone they are able to identify which weed had no extras just by smell test. I do recommend broadening the spectrum.
