Growers Choice any day. However I've been reading about issues with their smart controller. The problem then is dimming is by clicks. I can live with that. Far better quality light

I’m currently using a @MarsHydrofactory FCE3000 with the bridgelux diodes.
take my advice with a grain of salt as I’ve only just switched from 400w HPS but the FCE6500 would fit that space for flower.
The FCE6500 is 680w is dimmable and can be daisy chained to run more than 1 light from just 1 dimmer controller.
not sure if it’s within your price range etc but I’ve been happy with mine all through VEG the 300w is good to veg 4x4 and flower 3x3
It’s currently not been over 80% on the dimmer yet.

Here is a link to the Manual from the floraflex lights, they are only 650 a piece from floraflex .

Don't start multiple identical threads. I replied to the last one already.
Need Help Deciding Which Light To Buy
Trying to decide right now between the SF4000 and the growers choice roe-e680 for a 4x4 grow tent. Thought?

Watch out for the lights from China with a reputable name slapped on it.

Of those two, the Growers Choice for sure.
On a budget? --check out Mars Hydro TS 3000, old style light that's being discounted AND hit with an additional Black Friday sale. Buy direct from Mars or off their eBay page.
That Floraflex 650 light looks SUPER sick, I'd love to have that. But man, Mars Hydro lights keep getting better, and cheaper.

Watch out for what? The major savings in money you get for the exact same components used?

If you're daisy chaining powerful lights, is your timer not getting overloaded with watts?

That would all depend on timers used? Mine are rated for 15A/1875W, so good for up to 2 lights

How many watts are your lights? For 1300w total I had to buy a 12 gauge split extension cord and run two timers per outlet because the timers were getting hot.

1300w. Every timer I use in both my rooms are all the same ones. 15A heavy duty, duel plug.

I plug mine into a controller and the controller switch plugs into a timer. Don’t need to with my current setup but old habits. Ran 4000w hid off it no problem though(aside from the electric bill)

You shouldn’t be running 1300w on a single outlet. Gonna end up burning the house down. Be careful.
