hello Friends......reading your posts about heat!...im thinking this might be a problem for me too very soon!...(hopefully its going to get warmer lol!).....I know this Q gets asked alot and i know which will run cooler...but my space is 80 x 80 x 1.6m...so is one 315w CMH Philips argo best or one COB from @BigSm0 best for me?....thanks guys

The only way you could run either of the two is with a lot of training. Cobs are powerful and directional. The 315 is more powerful but there are reflector losses and the light loses intensity by bouncing around the reflector too. One cob is still much less than the 315 as ppfd as goes. I can do a lower wattage cob if you are interested and if you ever want to increase the wattage you would just need to swap the cob itself. From 60 watts down to 40 watts. Hope this helps.

Always around to help. You will be pumping around 1500btu of heat with the cmh. To match that light output you would be around 1000btu of heat with cobs.

Wow.. even with just one of the viparspectras going, the tent is still over 90F.

Pardon me, I meant "blast furnace," not "tent."

just out of interest dude......how many of your cobs would match a 315w cmh? please

That’s to funny! Luckily I had help but i just wrapped up the last bit of trimming myself about 30 minutes ago. My buddy and I did between 3-4 lbs today.

I have grown with both types of lights and done so in the same space, I wouldn’t go past 4 cobs.
