I have the X220 and I cannot use the red IRUV spectrum at all because even when I run it at 25% power and use LED protective glasses my eyes burn horribly for days after do you have the same problem
I haven’t ran into that problem they definitely hurt my eyes at first I never had glasses but I definitely need them. I just try to not look at the light. Maybe try another pair of grow glasses .
@@andrewwilloughby2370 That used to happen to me and funny enough what fixed was stopping eating sugar completely. No carbs, fruit, or sugar. After about a week my eyes got totally healthy and no matter what kind of light I used they didn't burn anymore.
I would look into the green spectrum mammoth lighting has. Shane from migro and Bruce bugbee did a podcast and discussed the lack of green in fixtures and the benefits that spectrum provides the plants. It penetrates deeper into the plant driving the photosynthesis process deeper in the plants tissues, and anti microbial properties.
KingBright X55 1000 watt 301H Evo mint white. 8 of the 10 bars are rotatable 90* to spread or concentrate the light canopy. Got 2 for price of one Mammoth Evo mint.
Sanlight are great but you can get same quality lights for at least 30% less you just need to pay those workers in austria which is not cheap and they still uses chips which are used in other lights
I would love to see a review of the California Lightworks SpectraMax series lights. The specs are incredible, and they're US-made and have a 5-year warranty from a company that will probably be around in 5 years.
I bought the kind LEDX 220 and I cannot use the red IRUV spectrum because even with it on its lowest setting at 25% my eyes burned horribly even with LED protective glasses on after only being in the tent for a few minutes. It felt like I looked at somebody welding with no mask on.
You wouldn't realise it by the way he misframes the differences between diodes. Bridgelux is every bit as good as Samsung 301H if you use more per watt. But I suppose they find lying to customers makes them more money.

It would be interesting to know how hot each of these lamps run at full output. Pushing the LEDs at less than their max rating is more efficient power wise (photons / watt) and produces less heat which is what kills LEDs.

Mammoth for the win no doubt. But really any quality built light will perform well in todays market. Company’s are just trying to push the newest gimmick they can come up with. Most full spectrum lights will do you good.
FOHSE is absolutely all day, everyday the best LED in business, its not even close. The fact they aren't mentioned shows dude is totally biased. Ive worked for all the big multi-state operators , Cresco, Cura, GTI they ALL run FOHSE LEDs.

full spectrum is better. red diodes make the plant stretch most in studies. the sun is a full spectrum and would grow a plant faster and more prolific than ur blue and white diodes.
You'll be disappointed with that size of a footprint. Either 2x2 or 4x4. For years, I've been impressed with my old black dog 200w. I just upgraded/added another light to my room. The Mars hydro FC 6500. $499 with iconnect. When the package arrived, they threw in a 2x4 foldable hanging dry rack and an ocilating 6-inch fan. Kinda neat of them... But honestly, don't get a rectangular footprint grow space
I love to see something about these new OPTIC LED V2 series lights with 3-way spectrum adjustment. They come with every chip is new Samsung best. White is 3000k-3500k then deep red Samsung and royal blue Samsung, then UV, ir. Meanwell drivers. Their new for 2024 one of the newest is being released end of this month. The 320 v2 is one am very interested in for 2x4 tent. Oh 5 LEDs per watt. So will run really cool.
Bad customer service…. Had a really hard time getting help on my 1 year old light from optic and finally after 6 months and spending $150 on a par meter to prove my problem to them. They finally sent me a replacement driver but it wasn’t a meanwell to replace the original it was another company’s driver with smaller gauge wiring and different color codes. Not happy about that or the way they treat their customers. Good luck if you do go with them. The light is actually good quality so it’s sad they handle their customers and their warranty the way they do.
Thanks! Wow, sorry u had go thru that I definitely don’t want to deal with that. Man that’s sad with all good stuff it has they could have a good thing. I actually been trying find out from these utuber’s and your the second person to tell me this and better business they got a F! So as awsome as light looks am not chancing it. The other guy said when it was flower time his blue’s were would flicker and it was rest time so wasn’t good. He couldn’t get them to do nothing about it they told him he had earth ground problem on his end
The fact that nearly all their lights are heavily discounted from the MSRP they set is a red flag to me. Plus using Shopify for their site. Also I only ever see botlike accounts/comments talking bout how "good" they are.
It's a shame you didn't mention the viparspectra ks5000. What do you have against them? Cheapest and most efficient light for a 4x4. Comes in at 3.1 u/molj
Man the only two lights on here these are worth it is mars hydro and I would get the FC-e versions and the smart 8! Some of the lights you had on here were 1000$ you might as well get a GML light they are by far the most inferior lights out right now but if you wanna save money and have an amazing grow get the smart 8 plus or the smart 8 light from medic grow
My experience with Optic LED was not so good. I got the Optic 6 series 3 about 4 years ago and several sections died within the first 3 months. I have already replaced 3 light boards and now the company doesn't want to send me any more even though it has a 10 year warranty. Customer service has also been horrendous. They took 2 weeks to return my email and they never ever answer their phone. I would not recommend Optic LED to anyone, not even someone I hate.
Uncanny, they only rate lights they sell. Hortibloom is coat-tailing on using "Optic" in their name. Good lights that they DON't sell @ LEDLD. Optic LED makes monsters 750S and KillaWatt are beasts. Then there is the Grand Master Borg that is also absolutely killer. THe optics have great pricing while the borg is pretty expensive but I would stand by my word in saying that those I mentioned outperform anything on this list. Not sold on the Mints although I do like Mammoth lights. We've always been told that green does not promote growth thus why we use it when lights are out to work on plants. . .Also it's funny how all the shit talk about blurple lights went down but I'm starting to see a lot more lights with blue and red diodes being added again. I learned ages ago that adding COBS to my Blurples led to excellent results.
Bro they’re overpriced blurples . Always have been. I fell for it bout 10 years ago. Thought I’d invest in a lil better light since switching to LEDs years ago and didn’t get much better coverage for the 2000 dollars I spent on a single light. Bought a couple more Vipaspecta PAR600s and got a much better uniform converge with 4 of those over a 5x5 than I ever did with Blackdog at half the price. Back then they’re wasn’t many options that had uniform coverage. Was CMH in the Winter and LEDs in the summer. But yea I wouldn’t recommend blackdog 10 or 12 years ago and especially wouldn’t today.
@@timpage5021 I agree that they are pricey, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare the technology from five, and definitely not 10 years ago, to what the company is producing now. I checked them out at CannaCon, they’re not as blurple as they used to be, they’re more of a white light in person and their UV and IR spectrum is phenomenal. They also removed the cover over their lenses a couple years back, to improve the coverage of the light and the penetration. I don’t mind paying for good product, that’s also manufactured in the US.
@@timpage5021 I agree that they are pricey, but the technology in the fixture that they produce now can’t be compared to the fixture that they produced 5 to 10 years ago. The light is no longer blurple, it’s more of a white light. They also removed the cover over their lenses to improve the coverage and light penetration. I checked them out personally. Their UV and IR spectrum is phenomenal. I don’t mind paying a little bit more money for something that’s manufactured in the US.
@timpage5021 that couldn't be more wrong. Blurple refers to blue and red light only. Black Dog has a real full spectrum. UV to IR. They use actual UV diodes in their light. Does your light have UV diodes? Or is it white light that "bleeds" Into UV a bit. Major difference if you're looking for that extra push. Yes white light grows plants, but plants want a full spectrum of light their entire life - like the sun provides. This includes UV. Plus being designed and built in the U.S. is more than enough reason to buy a light from them in my opinion. Those rebranded Chinese lights don't equate to being better because they're cheaper.
@@Jult_Grow2C25 Blackdog has never put a single UV chip in any of their lights ever. And blurple refers to the blue purple light they emit. You’re talking to someone who’d been using LEDs as their primary source for lights. Blackdog hasn’t updated the Phytomaxx since 2014 .
Grandmaster led should be on this list. I personally seen the torch 320 2x4 light 💡 in action and wow. Especially for the price. So there torch series is the best budget light on the market. Tent series has insane uniformity coverage and dual channel lights are pricey but not anymore then some of these he’s promoting. Hands down GML best bang for your buck
2k+ ppfd is overkill. The sun gives about 1800 ppfd at noon midsummer. You will need a lot of co2, way more water, and a lot food to use anymore than 1500 ppfd.
Im gunna let every1 in on their secret. Most if not all of these lighting fixtures use samsungs LM301B or H diodes. If theyre not they are a half a decade behind latest tech. (LPW ratio) A certified chinese company selling fixtures of the same PPFD with same diodes and drivers but a fraction of the cost.

I love to see something about these new OPTIC LED V2 series lights with 3-way spectrum adjustment. They come with every chip is new Samsung best. White is 3000k-3500k then deep red Samsung and royal blue Samsung, then UV, ir. Meanwell drivers. Their new for 2024 one of the newest is being released end of this month. The 320 v2 is one am very interested in for 2x4 tent. Oh 5 LEDs per watt. So will run really cool.
Bad customer service…. Had a really hard time getting help on my 1 year old light from optic and finally after 6 months and spending $150 on a par meter to prove my problem to them. They finally sent me a replacement driver but it wasn’t a meanwell to replace the original it was another company’s driver with smaller gauge wiring and different color codes. Not happy about that or the way they treat their customers. Good luck if you do go with them. The light is actually good quality so it’s sad they handle their customers and their warranty the way they do.
Thanks! Wow, sorry u had go thru that I definitely don’t want to deal with that. Man that’s sad with all good stuff it has they could have a good thing. I actually been trying find out from these utuber’s and your the second person to tell me this and better business they got a F! So as awsome as light looks am not chancing it. The other guy said when it was flower time his blue’s were would flicker and it was rest time so wasn’t good. He couldn’t get them to do nothing about it they told him he had earth ground problem on his end
The fact that nearly all their lights are heavily discounted from the MSRP they set is a red flag to me. Plus using Shopify for their site. Also I only ever see botlike accounts/comments talking bout how "good" they are.
Optic does not send lights for a review. Major ref flag
Optic refuses to send their lights for an independent review. Major red flag
Cheap/best 4x4 for a budget is that szhlux pt5000 with the ir and uv. lm281 diodes, doesn't get hot.
that actually looks badass
Weird light seems sketchy.
What happened to the progrow 1800? Are they not being made anymore?
I was told by the sales rep that they discontinued that model due to costs
@@anthonydevano8492 dang… okay thanks for the info! 🤙🏼
No GML or FOHSE?
Peeps are missing out.
3.5 per fixture says it all
It's a shame you didn't mention the viparspectra ks5000. What do you have against them? Cheapest and most efficient light for a 4x4. Comes in at 3.1 u/molj
I put a EVO 6 from ACI up against it in a 4x4
Man the only two lights on here these are worth it is mars hydro and I would get the FC-e versions and the smart 8! Some of the lights you had on here were 1000$ you might as well get a GML light they are by far the most inferior lights out right now but if you wanna save money and have an amazing grow get the smart 8 plus or the smart 8 light from medic grow
You guys have mars instead of Viparspectra? wild
Optic makes a pretty badass light..!!!
My experience with Optic LED was not so good. I got the Optic 6 series 3 about 4 years ago and several sections died within the first 3 months. I have already replaced 3 light boards and now the company doesn't want to send me any more even though it has a 10 year warranty. Customer service has also been horrendous. They took 2 weeks to return my email and they never ever answer their phone. I would not recommend Optic LED to anyone, not even someone I hate.
@@bethnalls4933 bummer..have had no issues with my optic slim 600 at all...so far all good..!!
SANLIGHT EVO 6 150 1.5 The best Made Österreich 🌱💚🤩✌️
Uncanny, they only rate lights they sell. Hortibloom is coat-tailing on using "Optic" in their name. Good lights that they DON't sell @ LEDLD. Optic LED makes monsters 750S and KillaWatt are beasts. Then there is the Grand Master Borg that is also absolutely killer. THe optics have great pricing while the borg is pretty expensive but I would stand by my word in saying that those I mentioned outperform anything on this list. Not sold on the Mints although I do like Mammoth lights. We've always been told that green does not promote growth thus why we use it when lights are out to work on plants. . .Also it's funny how all the shit talk about blurple lights went down but I'm starting to see a lot more lights with blue and red diodes being added again. I learned ages ago that adding COBS to my Blurples led to excellent results.
Any thoughts on the Grand Master LED?
Nahh bro PHOTONTEK 650 pro. That’s my favorite
which is better for a 120x60x178 g Migro aray 4 or Mars Hydro FC 4000-EVO?
Dimlux extrieme 1050w and Lumatek commercial 1050w is kings.
No Sanlights ?
Buenas podrias hacer una version con los mejores leds de AMAZON 💯
I have seen box trucks full of lights, 500$ each being sold as scrap. California is 43 cents a kw.
The marshydro 6500 fc evo has 6 bars not 8 and the info is actually for the fc6500 original.
The migro light looks like it has an insufficient amount of red light, it looks more like a veg light.
No such thing as a veg light. But regardless it has ton of osram 660s .
I can’t believe the Black Dog LED was not included in this video
Bro they’re overpriced blurples . Always have been. I fell for it bout 10 years ago. Thought I’d invest in a lil better light since switching to LEDs years ago and didn’t get much better coverage for the 2000 dollars I spent on a single light.
Bought a couple more Vipaspecta PAR600s and got a much better uniform converge with 4 of those over a 5x5 than I ever did with Blackdog at half the price. Back then they’re wasn’t many options that had uniform coverage.
Was CMH in the Winter and LEDs in the summer. But yea I wouldn’t recommend blackdog 10 or 12 years ago and especially wouldn’t today.
@@timpage5021 I agree that they are pricey, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare the technology from five, and definitely not 10 years ago, to what the company is producing now.
I checked them out at CannaCon, they’re not as blurple as they used to be, they’re more of a white light in person and their UV and IR spectrum is phenomenal. They also removed the cover over their lenses a couple years back, to improve the coverage of the light and the penetration. I don’t mind paying for good product, that’s also manufactured in the US.
@@timpage5021 I agree that they are pricey, but the technology in the fixture that they produce now can’t be compared to the fixture that they produced 5 to 10 years ago. The light is no longer blurple, it’s more of a white light. They also removed the cover over their lenses to improve the coverage and light penetration. I checked them out personally. Their UV and IR spectrum is phenomenal. I don’t mind paying a little bit more money for something that’s manufactured in the US.
@timpage5021 that couldn't be more wrong. Blurple refers to blue and red light only. Black Dog has a real full spectrum. UV to IR. They use actual UV diodes in their light. Does your light have UV diodes? Or is it white light that "bleeds" Into UV a bit. Major difference if you're looking for that extra push. Yes white light grows plants, but plants want a full spectrum of light their entire life - like the sun provides. This includes UV. Plus being designed and built in the U.S. is more than enough reason to buy a light from them in my opinion. Those rebranded Chinese lights don't equate to being better because they're cheaper.
@@Jult_Grow2C25 Blackdog has never put a single UV chip in any of their lights ever. And blurple refers to the blue purple light they emit. You’re talking to someone who’d been using LEDs as their primary source for lights. Blackdog hasn’t updated the Phytomaxx since 2014 .
Grandmaster led should be on this list. I personally seen the torch 320 2x4 light 💡 in action and wow. Especially for the price. So there torch series is the best budget light on the market. Tent series has insane uniformity coverage and dual channel lights are pricey but not anymore then some of these he’s promoting. Hands down GML best bang for your buck
Clear LED bulbs, cost, $5 each, the 100 watt with 8 yellow color guts. At Walmart
2k+ ppfd is overkill. The sun gives about 1800 ppfd at noon midsummer. You will need a lot of co2, way more water, and a lot food to use anymore than 1500 ppfd.
Yeah that shit is just excessive, the dimmer switch is needed for this very thing lol
It’s not overkill.
wheres sunlight evo6???
Im gunna let every1 in on their secret.
Most if not all of these lighting fixtures use samsungs LM301B or H diodes. If theyre not they are a half a decade behind latest tech. (LPW ratio)
A certified chinese company selling fixtures of the same PPFD with same diodes and drivers but a fraction of the cost.
Dimlux Extreme IR?
Garbage. Creates so much heat I don’t even wanna buy those again. Had them
No mention of Grand Master Level.... that's who I have my eye on.
Thanks pilly
wrong, the gavita 2400 is better then the 1900. 120v also. $1250 plus a controller
the one that beats them all,you dont have listed! Fluence Bioengineering
Fohse beats fluence all day
Why not mention the better sf series, vs the ge
Who know about redfarm led? Any info
