Look up an hlg 135v2 or something similar in wattage, go for a nice 3k spectrum, what height limitation do you deal with? Whats you set up look like, these are important to fully help in terms of advice, there are some benificial factors you are leaving out, size of space, how many little micro plants, why a micro grow?

I only use 0.2 grams a day.

I want to end up one day using a small as possible space

L 60cm x W 30 x H 60 is the future space

HLG is a led light company, Google it.
Run the best board style leds.

The viparspectra P1000 is a relatively new light. Board style again. Good cheap light for the price.
Ideal for your situation 2×2.

Depending on budget etc and your preference of efficiency, best diodes, spectrum lots to take into account what you want etc.

Or spend the extra on the hlg?
I have no experience with vipar. Hlg is a well known company here so i went with it this time... Had great results with a diy cob fixture as well, but i cant run the hlg at as high a wattage as the cobs. They are very efficient and i am happy with it.
My cobs i could run as high as 180w without problems, but with the hlg's output, i run it at 140. I know you'll take is as you may, but in my experience the output from these panels is higher than what i had before. As for the vipars... No idea

I am going to try a 150-180W microgrow. I should have wired it up today, just have been feeling lazy though. :oops: Think I will be using it for the new beer cup grow, here is a picture of one that should be finishing soon. Will be interesting how much it yields.

In a space that small you could get away with an hlg 65. I use around 140w in a 2'x2.5' tent
Do you have the 65's? I think they're cool. It's nice you can add a dimmer. @SteakBags just got one with a dimmer.

And use code "RIU10" for 10% off.

No. I have 2 of the 648's at 65ish a piece

Yea I have one of the 65s and im loving it so far, but I actually just bought another one today (and another dimmer) so I can get a better spread. Just for the specs my box is 32” wide, 21” depth, 32” height but I have the light at 36” because the top is open. Currently hanging about 7” above my tops at roughly 75% strength.
