That was 1st two lights I ever purchased. I run HLG lights now. They do put off quite a bit of heat.

@Bunger64 In my defense, most of these lights were purchased around 2014 and if prices could.
Regretffully, I was into other issues,not growing, at the time.
Now as much as i love AC-Infinity products, I want HLG lighting in my tents.
Here are the wattage drawn, Kil-a-watt metered (pictures, later).
Vipar Spectra V1200, R900, V600. Visiosun V2000, V1000, and cheapercheapies.
Numbers reflect todays mapping of tent lights.

3/22 started my journey. Been 40 years on the quest. I need a trip to Disney, new roof, and solar panels,
next summer.
Didnât help the energy prices going up, either.
Tents draw 2K max, just not 24x7 (1500Kwh change in bill)
2 tents 48x48x6.5 and a 2x2.
Goodmorning in looking at your information I had found all the interesting numbers last February when I went from 159.00 to 480.00 the one message they sent was march 10th letting me know I had already used over 1000.00 in ten days, rewind canât have that. My biggest issue was running heaters 24/7. I feel alot better now monthly bills arenât as crazy. The devices to monitor gave me a better understanding.
That is with the 650R at 60per and the 330x 75per.

These are the kill-a-watt readings of the lights I have
What I have in my 3x3
the three HLG 260 rspec I run in the 30x72" closet. Note the meanwell (MW) driver has a higher top end.
I used this sonofarm SF4000 over a 30x30" scrog. Iâm not using it right now. It is a nice light but the dimmer in very inaccurate
We all have a collection of lights collecting dust
The one I didnât take readings of is the Chilled X! Mini. It is 65w with veg spectrum I use to sprout seeds and early veg.

Absolutely. time is so critical, managing grow into optimum is the goal.
So much learned this past year. Internet accelerated learning and forum launched exponentially.
All aspects of growing discussed somewhere, once, maybe. Road maps for routes available?
A NO Brainer. Yes, I keep buying more equipment, to support dialing in my grow(s).
Thank you to all who posted their numbers.
Mostly definitly better lights will increase bud density,IMO.
