Can you have too much light?

I have a 16 foot area and just bought 4 of the g8 900s is it possible to have too much light in that amount of area cause I have to put in 6 of the 90watt red UFOs also.

Those lights suck...try to return them.

For 1100 apiece I don't think so but thanks for the reply

Oh you poor poor soul. Lol.

Yeah man you are fine with NOT having too much light.

... Rule of thumb. Is it an LED light available on Amazon??? Probably sucks ass.

You spent $4.5k on those lights?!?!

Please tell me you didn't actually spend 4.5k on those lights.....

The dormgrow website lists a 90 day money back guarentee, I would definetely try to return them if I were you.

So let me get this straight, your logic for why you dont think theyre bad is because theyre expensive as fuck?

~500watts for over $1000 seems a bit steep, but oh well, Im sure theyll work.

Seriously though, return them before it's too late...you don't have to take my word for it ask anyone on this forum

I think you might have got hood winked out 5 grand.

Return the lights if you can. Get your money back. If you get the refund and want some really good lights, then I'd recommend Timber Grow Lights.

I have a serious question. You obviously believed the shit you read about the light to be willing to pull the trigger on a 4grand purchase, I would think.

From the amazon page for it it states that one light can cover a 24sqft area... You have 16sqft to cover...

What made you think you needed 4 of them? Hopefully it "fell off the back of a truck"...


Threads like these make me seriously wonder why I dont go into the business of selling overpriced grow equipment.

I'm just imagining $4.5k in timber lights.. Oh my.

This guy will never post again, and also might be trolling.

Not to mention he is putting these in a 16ft trailer not 16sq ft. Lol. I read other posts by him... He might be real. 16ft × 7ft trailer= 112 sq ft and he bought 4 cheap ass China LEDs to cover it, and is now wondering if he has too much light...

I just can't. How can you throw money away like that... This is the stupidest thread in a long time.

I assume he means 16 x 16. I dont think 4 big panels and 6 UFOs would physically fit in a 4 x 4.

Here's so many red flags from the site.
No mention of diode maker or part number, same for drivers and fans.
Bragging that they report Draw Watts vs Nominal Watts
No mention on PAR/umoles etc
Pseudoscience.Everywhere. I was going to pick an example but theres so many, almost every sentence on this page http://www.dormgrow.com/wattage is bullshit.
From http://www.dormgrow.com/led-technology.html - " G8LED grow lights emit very specific wavelengths of light whic hare optimized for indoor growing. " Yep, I'm throwing money at the screen as we speak.

Get a refund.

And High-Times should be fucking ashamed of themselves pushing that shit with awards.

I don't think High Times has ever actually given a deserving LED award.

Yeah, like what are they even basing that award on? Do they have a couple of dozen grows on the go to test lights each year? Maybe they have a integrating sphere in the office.

please return those lights!!!!!!!!!!!!!
