Looking to finally upgrade my lighting

I’m about to upgrade my lights after years of using mediocre lighting. I’m in a 3x3 and I’m looking at the g5000, I also was thinking the sf4000. Just wanted to know what others would recommend. I’m not wanting to spend too much though🤣

Measure the inside of your tent first. Many of them are short of 36"x36". You have to remember that even a 30"x30" light would only have about 3" of clearance on all sides in a true 3x3 tent. With a little negative pressure the tent walls can easily be pulled into light and cause them to tear. It would almost certainly be an issue if your tent is smaller.

Hlg has newish light for 3x3, but it’s out of stock in 3000k. Not sure when they will be available but it’s hard not to consider them when purchasing lights.

There’s 33 3/4 between the posts. I can brace the sides

I don’t think g5000 will fit, not sure of dimensions on sf4000

Well thanks for the info. I found the dimensions on the sf4000, it appears it’ll fit pretty easily.

I have completed 3 grows with the sf4000 in a 4x4 it does a decent job.
