Hey pal, to make it a little easier for a beginner a good 300watt led puts out the same in some brands better light spec and ppfd/ppf than a 600watt led. While the 600watt uses 600 watts and the led uses 300 but has a wider light spec, no heat, much cheaper and on average their life span is 50,000-100,000 hrs use. They are a lot more expensive but a good SF-1000 Will cover a 70x70 I've been able to do 5 plants and in the same tent a 300watt HID light would go in, would have heat issues and not as good a gram/watt. Good luck.

If they are both true 600 watt lights referring more to the led. The led is actually stronger then the hps. Will produce less heat. Plus different light spectrum that is more complex. Consumption will be the same in power usage, but more and brighter lights. Good luck and happy growing 🌱

Hello it depends of what you want but yes hid will bring more heat and the cycle life is shorter than Led. Otherwise your yield will be different in fonction of your choice. Good luck. Peace

Hello, These are two completely different lamps. The HID is cheaper, but the power consumption will be higher. It is also necessary to provide sufficient extraction for the heat emitted by this type of bulb, and a good distance in height. The life of the bulb is 1-2 years The LED is more expensive to buy, a business plan of 3 years minimum of gardening. But it consumes less, hardly heats up, and can go down very close to the plants. Lifetime of the LED is 10-40 years. Peace

The difference will be less heat. You will not save on the actual light electric use as it draws I believe 600w.

the HID is actually 600W and the LED is probably 200W, so there will be a pretty huge difference in the final product
