Commander -
Can you say why you want to get the SGS? A few weeks ago I bought the XGS, based on nothing more than I figured the newest just had to be the best...

BTW, the XGS has two switches that work in combination to create three different light outputs. I asked about the switches in this thread. The Dawg gave some great input.

According to the A-51 website 24" X 36" is "ideal" for the SGS and the smallest recommended for the XGS.

I just got the sgs for my closet grow basically 2x3x5. Only thing you have to think about is they recommend 18" away from plants in flower. So with not a lot of vertical space you are limited to smaller plants for your cabinet.

I have a cabinet grow that I have been pretty happy with for the last 9 months.
I am looking to upgrade the LED.


I currently have the Pro Grow 180 and I am thinking of swapping it out for the Area 51 SGS-160


My cabinet is about 24"x36" and about 48" of grow height.


I was just looking for a little feedback.


Here is a link to my first grow https://www.rollitup.org/stealth-micro-cab-growing/622959-grow-old-computer-desk-cabinet.html

Just look here for proof of the SGS160 in small spaces just like yours...https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/656712-djs-led-medical-grow-20.html

The SGS160 is perfect for you. It is just as good as the XGS190 and has arguably a better flower spectrum, and the ability to veg in a pure white that's cooler(more blue) than the the 190. Watt for watt it's not much of a difference. The wattage comes with just a little more heat and in a small space like yours is not needed because the sgs160 is plenty for in there.

I agree with this(like:-( ).......the cree XP-e 630 nm in the sgs is arguably one of the best per watt used.

Your gonna love the panel commander compared to the pro grow.

Good luck and be safe

a typo, you should see my progrow180/A51-90 combo panel ha... Dissipates more heat than light.

You will love the SGS, the only thing that would be a game changer is the lower 65w(~) switch on the xgs- and that is definitely scenario spec.. But like I said, there is speculation of a new panel from a hint dropped some time ago...

...and if I can get aWR panel with the 3-modes..

When I bought my XGS, the guy (can't remember his name) who owns A-51 said the 3-way switch was a new feature on the XGS. Are we sure it isn't included in the latest SGS panels?

I'll ask
