So when you look at the power consumption that is supposedly 600 watts, the actual power consumption is about 115±5, roughly 115/120 watts. So you need to multiply the watts of your LED panel by about 2. So roughly 250 watts max, it seems. A ViparSpectra R900 of 900 watts consumes 425 watts, and a 160-watt one consumes 100 watts, just for info. For example. So the "lowcast" panels, watch out for false information! Look at the watts consumed to realize it, not the so-called 600 watts. I've seen 45-watt panels measuring 30 cm by cm sold as 1000 watts. They add up the number of 10-watt LEDs and give you a false result because the 10 watts and other LEDs don't run at 100% of their capacity, otherwise they wouldn't last! Be careful.

Sorry t5 cfls will not work for Flower cannabis because they have very little red spectrum and produce cannabis at a rate of about 0.25 per watt.

Strip lights like Leds? or strip lights like T5 Cfls?? Cfls and t5s will work for veg but will work for flowering cannabis. "They add the number of 10 watt LEDs and give you a false result because the 10 watts and other leds turn not 100% of their capacity otherwise it does not hold! Be careful. " This is at all accurate.. The label the lights whatever they want too... 1000-2000-3000 it doesn't matter there is no "standard" or set way that they inform the customer.. The standard/equal way they try to inform the customer is through PPFD read outs and sometimes they lie horribly but usually I find they are fairly accurate and a crap lights has the PPFD of a crap light. PM for info or do some research... Leds are complicated.

Hey my friend :-) I would keep my fingers off the cheap Ufo Led. I can only recommend the best on the market at the moment. These are the CXB3590 Cob chips with 3500 k. There is nothing better at the moment 🌱👍😎

Opinion. It's okay.. It's what is referred to as the "plurple" leds.. It'll give you yield but it's not even close to what a 1000W hps can do. Expect moderate returns nothing to be amazed by but enough to smoke that's for sure.
