Howdy,
And I will admit, I was too lazy to search the forum first. So please forgive me if this has been answered before.
I use a 630w CMH for my 1.2 X 1.2m (sorry, no measuralo imperialo) tent.
u/Rocket Soul brought me to the idea of supplementing it with LED to start getting my feet wet with the tech (never used one and I understand why they have overtaken the market but I do have solar so energy efficiency is not a factor for me as an example).
Anyhow, I was looking at the ViparSpectra P600 100W as stated in the title because it is relatively small (for a 60 x 60 cm [or however many jawbones² that is - 0.6 x 0.6m if that helps] area), relatively "light" at 1.95 kg (about 0.00195 yo mamas?) and most enticingly I can get at a very low price
Was wondering if I could "hang" or somehow mount 2 or ideally 4 of them bitches in each corner of my growtent (homelab masterra... can I even say that? has it been long enough?).
The idea being that LEDs can ideally supplement the 3100k CMH bulbs and I am a strong believer in light from the side but never got around to testing it.
Anyway, can they be mounted the way I intend to? And how would you go about it? Cable ties on the vertical corner bar and done? Maybe a rope to one of the horizontal ceiling bars to aleviate the weight/hold it in place?
Any alternative suggestions for something similarly small but "powerful enough" and able to supplement the CMH from above? (Mind you, am Europoor so don't have as many good retailers as y'all)
Is this one from ViparSpectra maybe already too large or the wrong kind of thing to look at overall? I honestly just picked one of the recommended brands from the other thread that seemed small/light enough and available at a good price.
Cheers and thanks for the feedback
