I'm looking at led lighting for the summer months for a 3'x5' grow area. I grow in a 5x10 "tool room" which is part of the house but not heated or cooled by the house system. The room is insulated but only with thin foam board. I'm currently running a bestva1000 led between 2 400w hps lights mostly for the heat but I fear the window a/c unit I cut into the wall (wife was less than happy about that) will not be able to keep up with even one of those hid lights, the chiller (I do dwc) and the dehumidifier I'll have to run in the summer. I do have a 4" exhaust and passive intake.
I like the reviews on the marshydro lights and the price is right especially now. I've been reading everything I can but all the lighting numbers mean nothing to me, they spin around in my head like an Einstein equation. So back to my question(s). Both the lights I mention say they'll flower a 2x4 area, my area is 5x3. If I get 2 lights I can cover the area very well I think or will it be too much? The price difference is negligible, as a matter of fact the stronger TSL2000 is a few dollars cheaper I think. I don't know enough about led lights to know what the better of these two lights are.
