Have you looked into boards yet? They don't make a 250w board that I know of. They sell 250w kits that are multiple boards and the appropriate driver. Figure out what you can actually order before you get hung up on what you want.

I built my own.
2 Samsung F series strips 1120mm long double row jobbies, meanwell driver wago connectors, heat transfer tape and some aluminium u channel. 240 watts from the wall.
It was to go alongside an existing blurple so I would have gone with 3 strips without the blurple.
Mine cost me around £135
I would say 5 strips with driver and everything else would come in around £300 and would give you around 600 true watts. Spaced evenly I'd say it would give you a very good coverage.

OK but with them boards 500w will be OK in 120x120 for 4 plants though yea?
Yes if you can handle basic hand tools and understand some basics of electricity you can assemble your own strip lights for less money.

Oh, that's ok man. They are definitely starter lights for me. I'm saving my pennies for some quantum boards. I just meant they grow excellent bud in the meantime. As a "starter" light.

However, if I knew then what I know now, I would have gone directly to the quantum boards.

Smokesara not replied yet but I see on his page he recommends the ts3000 for a 4x4 tent. Anyone know if this is a genuine one.... Mars Hydro TS 3000W Led Grow Light Full Spectrum Hydroponic Indoor Plant Grow | eBay
She is in China so not always on when the rest of us are.
Yes that does look like a real one. The seller claims to be a Mars hydro rep. Should be ok but I would wait to verify with Sara before placing an order. There's a discount for 420 members.

Hi Leafy, like I mentioned in the other thread you post, since you already have two lights, and your budget is not very high, I would suggest you try out our TSW-2000, which will be enough during seedling and veg, while during flowering, you can add your old blurple 600w or 1000w led to compensate. The TSW 2000 is only around 250USD/pc which is under your budget, but will bring you great results.
