hey guys and gals any suggestions on supplemental light.
its not really an issue ...yet, but with spring and summer coming temps will become an issue for me
i have a small tent at 2.5 x 2.5 and have a hlg 260 which im currently running at 100% onthe driver, which i was told by a reputable memeber here is pulling 205 from the wall. ambient tent temperature is hovering around 80-81, which coming into the end of veg isnt too bad, but once flowering starts i kind of want to bring that down a bit.
i do know running the qb at 50% keeps my temps around 75, from doing a test for a 24 hr period.
so question is, i know the cheapy leds are garbage for the most part, but what say would the opinion be if i got a cheap led light and hing it next to the qb running at 50%? how hot do these things run if i got one that was 120 watts actual draw off the wall? or anyone else run into this heat issue and found out a good way to tackle it? thanks in advance
