What kinda budget have you in mind?
I would say buy the best you can possibly afford, you'll be happy in the end that you did.

Hi around 300-350€

With the AFN discount 5% you could get the Mars Hydro TS3000 450watt for about 380 Euro

The Migro is the most efficient, but the mars ts2000 would put out more light. The 3000 is overkill for that sized space but so is the 2000, heat may be an issue.

I have a tent a bit bigger than that 32inx32inches and I have 3 autocobs 55w (older version I think) so 165w total and heat is not a issue for me..

I would suggest looking at Rapid LEDs website. They use COB style LEDs (great penetration and coverage) and Mean Well LED drivers.

They use massive heatsinks as well. Prices range from 175 bucks for 100w, all the way up to a grand for their largest industrial LED fixtures.

They offer DIY kits and you can buy individual components as well if you're electrically inclined.

Also Steves LEDs - check them out as well. They sell great horticulture fixtures at good prices too. They started off doing aquarium lights for salt water coral reefs, but then they branched out when people started asking if they could make LEDs for growing plants.

And finally the third US company I can recommend is California Light Works. They're the priciest of this bunch by far, but are probably the most reputable. The first two I've mentioned have not been in business as long as these guys and they use supplemental UVB T5 lighting to help produce more trichomes during flower.

With regards to your ebay LED, it looks like its got a mean well driver. and if the specs are authentic then those samsung leds are pretty great. the epistar ones are less efficient and their spectrum can wander a bit depending on which bin the LEDs came from. Sometimes it varies a significant amount and there's no real way to test it without specific equipment measuring micromols per square meter per second of a certain frequency of light.


tl:dr go for it but the proof will be in the pudding.... those lights are designed to hang about 10 inches above your canopy so they're relying on a larger foot print for penetration.

If you buy that lamp you should be able to dimm it down to 163W or even less. So heat won't be an issue and your efficiency will be super high. If you want you can get the TS2000 (or Migro Aray 4) and dimm it down as well.
