Hello, I am thinking of buying 2 of these for my 4' x 4' tent. Does anyone have any feedback they can give me on these? Though I realize maybe no one is using these, but some guidance on the wattage and how many to get for my tent...etc.

Avoid it like the plague. There is nothing new about it, it's the same blurple bullshit that's been hawked as "the perfect spectrum" for over ten years now.

its not a new type of LED

its an overpriced version of an old type of LED

buy these instead at home depot. a 4-pack is $15 and its the same amount of light

I'm flowering soon, that looks like a good idea, but are there ones like those lights that I should use in flower?

Thank you so much for helping me find a good alternative to an expensive LED set.
I have a 600W set up for flower now, but MUST cut down on the power bill and not worry about heat!

I would suggest looking into either a Quantum board setup or Samsung F series strips. About 450W will replace your HPS.

Seems bit high on the wattage, no? See a lot of dudes happy with the HLG-550 as a replacement for their 1,000w HPS, and that's only around 510w, as I recall.

Thinking about FB24B.
These HD lights no drivers plug and play.
Prices were $16 than down $8

Going to try to find old Christmas lights in the garage change the blubs. 20180223_182831.jpg

I'm unable to afford these DIY LED's etc. that have been suggested. Though very appreciated, I am leaning more towards the LED bulb style and wiring a few 100 W. together.
Thank you for your help guy's!

Hey efi2, can you show me a pic of your light set up, and how many of those would I need to light a 4' X 4' tent?
Thanks for your time.

That was sooo funny! Yeah, my brother is often telling about how The Grow Boss does this or that. Personally I don't care for him that much.
