FLUENCE SPYDER 2P LED Grow Light
How much would you pay, 200$ for this light used in good condition ? I heard Fluence was a good light company.

I’d say it’s worth 200, but I went to their website, and there were some misspelled words which always makes me suspicious. Including this Efficacy: 2.5 µmol/J. 2.5 is low compared to an hlg which is over 3.

I agree with @Dexterado plus the 6”-12” hanging height to achieve the numbers they posted and if this is legit at these heights you’re not going to get much coverage anywhere than directly under the light

yeah prob not what i need lol. guess i will stay looking for dem HLGs LOL
Nice but, I’d have to go with one of these; HYPHOTONFLUX Smart-670
or HYPHOTONFLUX PRO-720

Has anyone noticed the like market flood of grow products? I am pretty disconnected from the industry and l don’t have many friends who smoke. So I learn most from what yall say. I heard lots of businesses are closing down across the country? I bought a brand new HLG 300L Rspec for 100$ from a dude that closed in Colorado. I think he was growing for dispensary’s tho?

I’ve noticed this as well and contribute competition between small growers and the ones that purchased good grow equipment and give up

I haven’t had any issues with my lights. I got a HYPHOTONFLUX HPX4000 and couple years ago then another the following year. Both have been as advertised so, yes. IMO Bar light fixtures are the more advanced design They have web presence and instagram feed that you can converse with them on. They provide commercial type product enhancements like; cables to move drivers outside the tent
And enhancement like additional UV bar lighting
And lighting controls
And grow room lighting calculator

- Thanks for the break down dude! that was nice
I wonder if i can control my HLG lights i have now with that control? but it looks like it only lets you control 2 lights *edit : i just saw you put up to 100 lights in ur post lol duh

And grow room lighting calculator
I copied this from ecopackage . com
So if a fixture has two hundred 3-watt diodes, it is technically capable of producing 600 watts of power, but it will actually only draw about 300 to 400. Most amazon product will list the rated power (600 watts), but this is obviously a bit misleading.
Total power needed=grow area in sq ft30W sq ft (to 40W/sq ft)
So For 88 area (64sq ft)
64sq ft30W sq ft =1920watts
64 sq ft40W sq ft =2560watts
So, continuing the example from above, 8*8 grow tent need between 1920 and 2560 watts of actual LED power
The Optimal PPF for Cannabis:
PPFD is a density measurement which is expressed as micromoles per square meter. To convert PPFD into a quantity measurement, we multiply it by the area in square meters. Since the optimal average photon density is 700 µmol/m2 (PPFD), the optimal number of photons is 700 µmol Usable PPF per square meter. This converts to 65 µmol Usable PPF per Square Foot. To calculate the total amount of light that you need for your grow space in Usable PPF, simply multiply the square footage by 65 (Sq. ft x 65 = µmol Usable PPF).
So 8*8ft grow tent need 4160 µmol PPF

My lights.
Diablo scorpion - 130 to 650 watts.
350 R diablo - 60 to 330 Watts
300L Rspec - 30-250 Watts
100 V2 - 95 Watts
100 Rspec - 95 Watts
I have a 4x4 and just set up a 8x8.
ok im trying to see if i have the 250veg pro or the 350r? lol so similar
Copied this from the HYPHOTONFLUX CALCULATOR feed.
Calculate How Many Watts Per Square Foot For LED Grow Lights Of Grow Room
âśż Do you meet problems when choose LED grow lights? How many watts light you should buy for your grow room? This article will give an answer and tell you how much watts you need.
✿ There are two factors that you need to consider when choosing the wattage of the LED Grow Lights.The first would be the plant you’re growing, and the second would be the total area of your grow space.
Type of Plant
âśż Plants have different lighting needs, which is why you need to know how much light a plant needs. As a rule of thumb, the higher the wattage, the more intense the light is. Leafy plants and herbs usually need lower wattages. Fruit and flowering plants like tomatoes and cannabis need higher wattages. The amount of power you need for leafy plants would often be half of what a flower-bearing plant needs.
âśż PPFD is the correct metric for measuring useful light intensity over a given area, the watts you need depends on the PPFD you need. We will report wattage calculations in this article.
âśż The watts you need depends on the PPFD you need, To establish the correct amount of wattage, you must first identify the size of your grow room and multiply it to your desired PPFD level.The output should then be divided by the PPFD per watt of your LED grow light, Wattage=PPFD/PPE
âśż For example, you are at flowering stage in 3x3ft tent, and your plants need 900ÎĽmol/s PPFD total, and the PPE of the light is 2.7 ÎĽmol/J, so you need 900/2.7=334 watts
âśż In general, it assumes about 30~32 watts/sq ft (actual LED wattage) for flowering. Fewer watts might equate to smaller yields while more wattage may lead to larger yields. So we got this sheet
✿ Why don’t we count the needed watts for 6’x6’ and 7’x7’ or even bigger area? There is another factor to consider here - Coverage of the light. For example, you need 1470 watts for 7’x7’ grow space, but there are no lights with that big size on the market, so you can put 3 units of 480w lights there to get more even coverage.
âśż At last, HYPHOTONFLUX can provide growers with different size and wattage of lights
For 3x3 ft grow space, we recommend HPF3000;
For 4x4 ft grow space, we recommend HPF4000 or PRO-480;
For 5x5 ft grow space, we recommend PRO-720 or SMART-670.

I moved my drivers outside the tent so the heat they produce also get moved outside the tent and off the LED bars. Heat will degrade LEDs over time. This would extend the life of your LEDs and help plants by reducing temps inside tent.

I believe the controller provide a standard 0-10v control voltage. So, that would be a yes. But check with manufacturer for compatibility questions.
