[Mongbrain0406]

so I have a 600w hps and it just gets so hot I've been looking into getting a good led and have been recommended with this light can anybody tell me if they have used it and what kind of yeild would I usually get off it would it be able to yeild more than my 600w ? It's 800 bucks so I wanna make sure it's worth its money if anybody can tag me in grows they have done using this light

Mars Hydro TS 3000 Full Spectrum 450W Meanwell Driver LED Grow Light

TS3000, as the biggest led grow light in TS series, offers enough coverage for 4x4 ft area with affordable price and quality yields, in return it's able to be applied to both home cultivation and commercial veg cultivation.Wattage - 450w Veg Coverage - 5x5 ft Flower Coverage - 4x4 ftThe...

...that there's an extra charge (via the drop-down location selector) to have it shipped to Australia, but that it's only $20. Use the "420magazine" discount code on the shopping cart / checkout page and it drops the total cost to $455.89. That's in USA dollars, though, which is currently equal to... $648.88AU. Whew. Hard to believe your dollar is worth less than ours right now, all things being equal.

As to your question... The company advertises the TS-3000 as being "comparable to a 1,000-watt HPS," but from trying to compare 4'x4' grid charts, I'd consider it as being roughly comparable to a 600-watt HPS in a decent horizontal reflector; both lighting setups have the same (more or less) significant drop in regards to light-energy near the perimeter, and are probably best suited for a space in the .9 to 1 square meter range. But, run at 450 watts (vs. the 600-watt HPS' 600 watts), it'll be consuming 25% less electricity and producing 511.82 less BTU of heat per hour (assuming you move its drivers (power supplies) out of the grow space area, like you would do with a HID light's ballast). Whether that makes it a sensible purchase for you... is up to you to decide, based on things like your cost of electricity per kilowatt hour, the occasional bulb replacement, and any savings you'd get if the reduction in heat allowed you to spend less each month on cooling the space. Also, this assumes you're growing in a square space. If the area is a non-square rectangle, the HPS might have a slight advantage in production depending on choice of reflector. The TS-3000 appears to be best suited for a square space.

Speaking of cooling, if you are currently using an air-cooled reflector, and running it on a separate ventilation setup from your general grow space environment... know that you won't be able to do that with this LED - or the vast majority of other LED grow lights, and that means you'll have to go with the somewhat less efficient single ventilation/exhaust run setup.

I’ve gone to MarsHydro leds 100% in my flowering room and love them. Expensive yes but cooler than the hps and much more efficient for medium to large grow areas. $250-$280 here in Florida.
