Need help choosing an LED or COB light for a stealth armoire grow

I found a decently sized armoire at a local thrift store for $50. I was thinking of picking it up today but I just want to get ideas of what LED or COB lights would work the best for the limited space. Do you guys think this armoire would work with the majority of lights on the market or should I be looking to get something wider? If it will work, any recommendations on lighting? Thank you!

it'll work for sure. exhaust it of course.

diy the lighting to fit your box best check out indoor gardening's subcategory LED lighting. if you have any electrical experience i could walk you through ballasting more cheaply than apposed to buying a driver for every light. if not, i wouldn't recommend playing with 120vAC as a starting point.

how wide and deep is it?

you could do a 100w cob per sq ft

Hi i am new to this forum and need a Advise from the electronic and μmol calculator experts. (Sorry for my bad english its not my main language)

So i have a Tent 1,44m x 1,44 m ( should be like 4,6 f x 4,6f i guess.)
I actually have my Seedlings under a 250W CFL to Veg softly.

I have 600W HPS rdy to go but i know most of the Harvests are like 0,5-0,7 g/ expect 1-2 Grows that went a little over 1g/W. I work without a A/C so i am a little connected to outdoor conditions. But most of the Time the 600W HPS creates a lot of Heat. The Carbonfilter and Vents hardly keep up with dat. I had a Adjust a Wing Reflector.

But the more i read about LED´s i am excited about.
Better lights, Better Quality Provides! could be the Slogan!

So i am looking for Top Led´s. On the Way to this i looked over TGL-220 (option to upgrade in crx 3590 Cobs) from Todogrow. With 200 W each.

Or the Hanspanel 180W.

I am in EU so shipping from US/Can etc is too Expensive with fees and taxes.

In my Opinion i could try 2 x 220 TGL or even better 3x220 TGL http://www.todogrowled.com/gb/led-grow-lights/8-led-grow-light-tgl-220.html

Compared to 4 Hanspanel 180 W http://www.bonsaihero.com/index.php/led-growlight-180-watt

for the 1,44x1,44m Tent.

But what would be the better solution if we talk μmol wise and we talk Light Spectrum wise.

Maybe already 2x Tgl-220 with about 400 Watts upgraded with 3590 Cobs are arleady better than the 600W HPS but maybe not that good than 4x 180 W Hanspanel - 720W
But if i ipgrade to 3x 220 TG with upgraded Cobs are they better then 720 W Hanspanel or are the Hans Thingys better?
You get my Problem?

Thx for any advises. Appreciatet.

LEDwise Cob's are the newest and best technology go with them stick in as many as u can afford/fit. really easy to build even without the kits.

you're probably over thinking it.^
light spectrum is probably very much opinion vs scientific talk since these considerations are pretty new in the
idk maybe someone has the sciencey goods you are looking for there.

you should ask this question by itself as a thread or ask in a bigger LED thread. i cannot help you too much with whites, im a colored and mono user. it tickles my love for engineering to see monochromatic wavelengths burn my retina over a bright white. plus i thinks its hilarious watching plants thrive in a blurple room.
