HLG 100 V2 or QB96 Elite V2 in 2x2 tent?

Hey guys and gals, I want to upgrade the lights in my 2x2 tent for my next (2nd) grow. I currently have a 170w Chinese light w/ 2 COBs + 24 LEDs. I can't decide whether to go the easy route with the HGL 100 V2 kit, or spend a little more cash and effort on a QB96 Elite V2 DIY setup. Im...

You and me both...

I got similar from Alex at Vivid, possibly a bit more expensive but he would be worth a chat maybe

Thanks for the replies folks but let's not get into name calling and a dick measuring contest. Best to back up your claims with facts.

I joined this site because of how friendly, knowledgeable and open to discussion the people are.

I agree that the advice about the qb96 is wrong. How can a smaller surface area light with less diodes have a better spread? Doesn't make sense. Also cranking it to 185w is going to reduce the life of the light too.

Thanks for all the help so far.

I've had a look at vivid and they only have 4000k 150w kits and are a bit more expensive. They also have less of a warranty than invisible sun.

Decision hasn't been made yet but the ish165 is the standout so far.
