Ah, stay away from anything on Amazon that isn't HLG lol....

HLG 600 is 600 true watts and offers better performance than most low to mid-priced double-ended 1000W.. Compare PAR maps and you will see.

If you want the Crème de la crème then go for HLG 650R, this lamp offers better performance than 1000W DE Gavita in 5 x 5, it will beat it in terms of yield per watt, and higher quality end product, and best of all it will do so with fewer watts.

Another reputable company you can trust is Timber Grow lights, owner/companies solid and been around for years.

Gavita LED and Fluence also offer better than HID performance but you'll pay for it with your wallet, yet performance is not better than HLG or Timber, so if you want value and bang for buck, I'd go with either of the latter companies rather than the former.
Lol he just said he’s is a 2x4x4 tent and you’re going to recommend a 600-650w LED..?

I have a 2x4 tent and run a Timber 3VL, it produces 320 watts has great coverage, however a little on the pricey side. HLG makes fine products also, I don't know much about them just that they are good. I have 2 HLG 65's that I just started playing with. Do you have a budget in mind?
Did you buy a couple dimmers for them? I have some 100's, but the dimmers won't work with them. I think it's cool you can dim the 65's. I helped someone pick out lights for a micro grow, and he grabbed 2 65's with dimmers and he's happy. He didn't want to build his own lights.

i agree with whoever said kingbrite 240-320 watts. lm301b diodes. (that gets you quality diodes for cheap)
Any light that mejiui or kingbrite sells in the 240 watt and 320 watt option are going to be great for your setup! with your budget i would go ahead and grab one of those lights with the lm301h version leds. (they are the newest most efficiant chip on the market......its a step up from the lm301b's but not enough to break the bank over. )

you can go with name brand HLG or spider , gavita, ect... those are expensive as hell but they are sold in the US for fast delivery.
(that gets you the same quality diodes plus the frame and wiring are a step up from the kingbrite/meijui lights)
Also agree on this. Go for the 320w version (3 panels in a row on one long heatsink) it is as he said perfect for ur space and gives u 40w per sqf. I would do kingbrite on alibaba. Its so cheap but same quality as other more expensive ones. But don't go for the H diodes just go with B version, they are basically the same.

So I found a HLG on Amazon for $150. 220w actual. Because I need this light like yesterday I’m gonna go with this one but next time around I do want to try Alibaba it just says shipping will take like two weeks. Do you think adding it with my 110w is too much? Thank you for your recommendations!

show us the HLG you got and we can tell you about it. i do not think its too much to add your 110w light with it either way.
