    I have a meizhi 600w led light. It’s a good piece of kit for the fairly small amount it costs but don’t expect to match the performance of your 600w hps. Led and hps are chalk and cheese mate.

    well even if i need to get a bigger led light to match the 600W hps because i have read on stuff that guys can get the same if not better out of some led not sure if this is true or what

    Think you will and LED of about 1200w

    That actual watt consumption will be nearer 600w

    do you think i will need to cool it some how or do you think just an extraction fan with filter will be enough and a nice fan blowing air around on inside???

    If you do, be sure to check the actual power consumption/watts from the wall and not the advertised wattage

    I think just extraction fan should do it. The biggest led ive had was a 700w real power was 380w.

    I just had a 5 inch extraction fan. The LEDs don't put out a lot of heat. Nothing compared to 600w hps

    From what I have been reading the new Quantam Boards run very cool. I have an LED that pulls 395W, and it is hotter than my 400W HPS, so all of the LED's you find aren't always cooler. You might want to keep that in mine.

    What? That's mental. I'll be staying away from them. That defeats whats good about LEDs to me.

    I've had temps outside at around 30 degrees Celsius and have to add heat with an oil radiator as it's not warm enough!

    Good quality LED light I hear 🤔

    What budget do you have?

    I would recommend the HLG550v2 and run along side a 600hps or 2 X 400hps if you like.

    In terms or LED comparison, you would require 10 mars 300s or 5 mehzi 600s to match it.
