    And if I'm going with either of them, I will put my next grow with it here to show results with that light ^^ So it's a good thing that someone tests the new ones ??????

    Yes it will probably be too much 650w would be better I reckon.

    You’d probably have to supplement co2 if you went any higher.

    800w in a 4x4 is way 2 much. You can use it but you have to dim it down alot. Like i said. A good light for your space is ish 450-600w. Overkill 650+ watt.

    If you plan to upgrade your tent size in the nearest future i would go bigger now so you dont have to buy a new light when you get a bigger tent.

    I now have two of these.. They take 320w of power each, from wall, I have checked it with wattage meter. So 640w total. They produce a LOT of heat.. I think that even that 650w Max Hydro should be a LOT better than two of these? Right? Thanks all for the input =)

    This is the mail i got years ago when my MH TSW2000 didnt turn fully off. Like never! It was allways 5% on. Even when the switches was off and the timer off. The actual problem was that their drivers give out some sort or magnetic field. So when the drivers where mounted to the led board it gave out enough power to power the leds.... annoying. But if i remove the drivers from the light it workes perfect. But still.... commmoooonn

    These are the older lights, the newer one's are cheaper in the long run, and twice as good. You are just spending bad money going backwards.

    If you compare it to that, Yes MH will be an awsome replacement! But still. What bonds you to MH?

    Since I'm buying them from EU shop, there's two years warranty if anything comes up. Won't have to change anything myself, and not even should. If you open up the product, warranty is void. So if anything happens in two years, that shop has to deal with the warranty.

    Be careful with MH warranty not always as it seems, once they get your cash they don't give a toss

    I could buy from another shop, but in this price range I can't find anything else than Mars Hydro or Spiderfarmer in 600-650w category. It can't be UK shop since there would be an additional 24% VAT on top of the original price since UK isn't EU country anymore. I just don't find anything else.
