LED light for a 36"x20"x62" tent??

So I am looking into going with LED over HID. Can't deal with proper ventilation or the headache's.
What would be a good LED panel to independently grow in a 36"x20"x"62 tent??

I also have a PLL-55w from HTG with 2 sets of 3000K and 6400K bulbs, so if needed, can supplement the tent with that

My space is ~22x30x48, read the link in my sig.

I run the SGS-160, Area51's "new" light. 120W veg, 155w flowering. Currently ~1wk from harvest, my first LED experience.

EDIT: with the extra head room, you could fit the fan above the light, or have an extra 2 weeks of veg(compared to mine)



Other options like:
Apache Tech AT120(WR2) (157w)
California Light Works Solar Flare 200 (160w)
Lumigrow ("325" would ROCK that space)
... a couple overhead spotlights (like a Kessil H350) and tube lights in the corners mounted vertically.
 
^^^^^ woah! What strain/ how many plants in that cab! That thing looks kick ass.

Edit... Checked out your thread. Awesome stuff man. That a51 lamp looks like its doing its job exceptionally

Can't really say anything bad about the LG except the price.. I have both the A51-SGS and Cali Lightworks 200w and I prefer the setup of the SGS (seems to have better coverage) and also, it seems more of the plants cross over from the SolarFlare side to try to reach the SGS than vise versa (if that doesn't make sense let me know.)

I actually have a couple 36x20's so I can tell you with certainty one of the few problems you will encounter with the SGS is that the plants will want to grow into it. Another big difference between the SGS and the SolarFlare is that the SolarFlare will bleach anything within 6-8 inches. I also have a 432W HTG that I am not currently using (not quite as strong in flowering I found) but which also filled the space quite well.

That footprint is almost perfect for the SGS, and I doubt you will find 2 people on here that actually own an SGS that have 2 things bad to say about it. I know the fellas at www.Area51lighting.com were running a hell of a sale, and have really almost gone out of their way to hook me up when they can. Aside from the SolarFlare, I have bought my other 4 lights from A51. I Honestly have nothing but good things to say about them, and couldn't imagine spending my money elsewhere (although I gotta admit, Tags i believe, is doing some serious funking damage with those Apaches.)

Hope I was some help, and best of luck with your LED. I hope some day I can "come out of the closet," but until then I feel these new LEDs have really allowed us closet growers a fighting chance at some "dro." I think the most important thing with LED is buying/making a quality lamp.

How much $ you looking to spend? I have the 7Band 240w LED from HTG in my 20" x 36" x 64" tent. I also have a 4' t5ho in the corners for side lights. First grow, but looking good so far. P9020419.jpg
