    Default Led panel advice

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to move on to LEDs for my current grow. I've been looking around but prices vary greatly, some also seem to show similar specs but massive price difference.
    I was wondering if anyone would have some advice on what to get for a £350 budget. Obviously wouldnt want to spend that much if not needed.

    My space is a 80x80x160cm tent, 5" rvk fan. No heat issues flowering with 600W HPS/cool tube in this space. Generally growing one plant at a time.

    Thanks in advance,

    T

    You could go with something like the Lumatek Attis 200/300w that would be in your price range. Or have a google for uk made LED lights, lots of great small businesses out there who need our support.

    Thanks, I'm planning to do my transition measuring the lux amount and dimming or raising the panel as to limit the impact. I was looking to buy a cheap lux meter but found out there are phone apps that do the job with some accuracy also.

    Any thoughts on that would be appreciated,

    Amazon AP881E is a good accurate high range lux meter. Phones can be hit and miss but by all means check against a good meter.

    Start high with low watts and build slowly. Piece of cake once used to the order of magnitude
