HPS 400w Vs MarsHydro TSW2000 cost

tricombo420started grow question 4y ago

Alguém me sabe dizer o quanto menos uma luz LED gasta comparado a uma HPS ? Por exemplo, estou usando uma HPS 400w, e subiu 40€ na conta de eletricidade, se usar uma MarsHydro TSW2000, iria fazer grande diferença ? Obrigado

Ignore fake advertising numbers and look at the actual wattage consumed by the light. Your LED light consumes 300 watts (ignore the fake 2'000 number) versus 400 watts for the HPS. So, it consumes 75% as much power, or you can say it uses 25% less electricity.

If I change from HPS to an LED will be a little cheaper bill and more gr for plant ? Thanks

I'm seriously thinking about getting a TSW2000. Everything I've read upon it, people are getting close to 2g per watt. So it should outperform the 400w considerably.

I believe you should get a similar production to the 400w hps but only consuming 300w.

I think the tsw draws about 300w where a 400w hps draws 400w. So your power consumption would be 3/4. If it cost 40 for your hps it will cost you 30 with the tsw.

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?
