I needed an LED light for my moms

[juggernaut]

I have a 2' X 4" Tent that I am using for my moms. They are under a T-5 4 bank fixture and it's just not enough. I'm dealing with heat issues or I would just put a 400w MH.
So I'm going to try an LED light.

I've never used one so I have no idea on anything to do with led's except they run cooler then hid's.

So I would love some feedback on what kind of LED I should get, a good brand or company to deal with, what size I should get?

Last thing. Will I have a problem with the weight of the LED? I have to hang it from a 2'x4' tent?

Hi,

I'd get the airflow/temperature issue resolved with fans....then......All depending on your budget. If you can visit local shops first. Then go elsewhere. I always try to support local before the web. This was you can see some LEDs in action and it will leave you better informed on your decision.

I've got 2 LEDs.
1 - 15 Lvjing watt (I know Chinese shit) panel bought off Amazon for like $40
Haven't tested it thoroughly yet, but have used it briefly.
It's only like 5 lbs max.

1 - Apollo Horticulture (Not sure of the watts probably 150 ish or 300) LED
Have used it and it works great. With a 1000 w HPS together I was able to do purty well.
I think it weighs around 10-15 lbs.

I've used a UFO on a mom before and it did great IMO.
More money, but a good investment IMO.

Good luck.

May I suggest an ICMAG vendor on here that makes great LED lights? I was in the same boat as you, in a tent and wanting to bring the temp down for Summer coming up. Bought these and I am ecstatic!
