    Default LED lighting help.

    Evening.

    This has probably been asked many times so I apologize in advance for being a nuisance.

    So I'd like to upgrade my lighting. I've always used sodium lights with lumatek ballast 1000w with a parabolic light shade. I've always got good results from that set up. I've heard great things from LED lights. I'd like a powerful LED lighting set up that will give a great yield something of more or less the same potential as the sodium lumatek set up I already have.

    What do youse guys recommend? Where would I be able to get it from and how much roughly would I be looking at paying?

    Thanks in advance.

    Any quantum board fixture at around 700w will replace a 1000w hid, and will yield more. For comparison, ive overkilled my 1.2 sqm tent with a 1000w (600+400) hid last winter and yielded just less than 700g.. a 500w chinese quantum board (lm301b 3500k) gave me just over 700g ... Thats more yield for half the watts but ofc 1000w in a 1.5sqm would probably yield me a kilo but the idea is to get more out of your space and leds do just that

    Shred is right

    HLG say the 550 rspec will do a 1000w single ended and 650R a double ended.
