The newest HLG 100 is an Rspec with 4 red diodes in addtion to the whites. Same price.

Like the tittle says I need help with choosing a LED light for my 2x2 tent my budget is 135.

Get an Autocob. You may add more later and get better quality than many of the low end Chinese manufacturers. You don't have to worry if the diodes aren't too bin and cooling is well managed with these. Cheap lights tends to have low efficiency and subsequently weaker thermal management.

Otherwise pick something built for quality, it could be the last light you buy for several years. Most people fixate on price but efficiency matters more than anything else yet it cost more.

There isn't much outside of DIY in this price range but I think the Cob will be far superior on efficiency/performance based on price.

I just transitioned from running 2 autocobs to an HLG 135w kit, I'll be keeping an eye on growth and may do a side-by-side with photos or a clone.
