Old Reviews Help me choose a light??

I would go with the MarsHydro SP-250 over the others. You eventually will learn about the spectrum, PAR and PPFD of your lights as you strive for better and better results but you have to start somewhere. The thing is you can (we all do) add more lights later!

Ive got the optic2 and I like it

I'm new to growing indoors. I just set up my 4x2 tent with a carbon filter. I just need a light. Problem is I can't stop researching. There is so much info out there and I'm sure I only understand half of it. WTF is a PAR and PPFD anyways?? Don't really care.
Basically, I've narrowed it down to 3 lights. I like each of them.
1. Timber Grow Lights - Model 3VL = This thing is gorgeous!!! But it's $450US, so that's not happening.
2. HLG Canada - 135W QB - $230-260 - Everyone seems to like this company. But it doesn't cover enough of the tent, only 2x2 in flower. Next model up is twice the price. No.
3. Optic LED Grow Lights - Gen 3 COB LED 205W - On sale for $325. Recommended cover is 2x3 but I only plan on growing 3 plants at a time. I really like this light.
4. Mars Hydro - SP250 or TSL2000 - $360 - I keep coming back to these two. Both are 40" long and have hundreds of LED's so covering the 4x2 shouldn't be an issue. Either seem great for my setup but Mars Hydro seems cheap.

Anyone out there familiar with these lights or have a better suggestion??

Thanks

Hi, @CdnSeedsGuy
The main feature of Mars light is plug-n-play. :smoking: First time growers' favorite

SP250 and TSL2000 can all cover a 2*4 grow space in flower, 3*5 in veg.

Good to know as it is $100 cheaper than the other lights I'm looking at.
Wonder what the diff is between the SP250 and the TSL2000.

What's the blue LED light for? I should get one too?

The main difference between SP250 and TSL2000 will be on acutal power, driver, waterproof, PPE.
