I would like to toss one out to the crowd and see what you all think. This is for a personal small grow, in a 4'x2'x'7' space. My biggest issue that I am trying to solve now with the HPS is heat so it is time for the LEDs. I like the idea of several small lights as opposed to 1 large, I like the idea of saving $ during veg by using the switches on the reflectors, and would also like to run my fans less if possible (cooling fans).
To that end I was thinking of 3 of the 48x3w reflector series. This would give me close to 450w to replace my 400HPS and a great deal of flexibility. I feel it would cover the shape of the space better than one square 400. Chained together this seems like a good way to go.
This will be used in a scrog is my current plan. And I am currently very happy with the quality and quantity that I can pull from a 400 HPS.
Let me have it folks. Have I been smoking this pipe too long?
