I have a 2 x 4 ft tent and only grow 1 or 2 plants at a time. I am currently using 600w MH(veg) and HPS(flower). I would like to switch to LED as I hear they are much cooler to operate and I am a little tired of dealing with heat issues. I am asking for suggestions on a good yet inexpensive(under $200) LED plug and play light source that I can use from start to finish. Any suggestions/comments are welcome.

If just one plant you can get away with a HLG 135 V2 Rspec ($197)
If you want to run 2 plants you will get good results with an HLG 260 or 260XL V2 Rspec ($350+.)
You could also go for an HLG 3000k board(s), which may be a little less expensive. The 3000k boards are fine for flowering too.
I would stay away from Amazon burples. You won’t be getting efficient diodes, you’ll get less yield, and they put off more heat than a more efficient product.
