What's a good all around light

Go with the Mars Hydro TS 1000. It's 150W and dimmable. Would be a perfect fit for that size tent. I have one in a 27X27X60" tent and love it. Can't go wrong with it IMO...Happy growing ✌️👊

dont make the mistake going for cheap led they do not work properly light spectrum is a little also have a lot less Umols look for samsung chips not epistar

I strongly recommend you quantum boards, they are the real deal. For a 2x2 you can pick the 120 w on alibaba, check kingbrite quantum board 120 w, for all the cycle I recommend the 3500K so you can veg and flower with it. It has a fair price, and you won't be disappointed, trust me. Check my last grow, I'm currently running 2 240w quantum boards and my plants love it

Not sure what your budget is but spider farmer sf-1000 will flower a 2x2 and only uses 100 watts on full power and it is dimmable only cost 150 bucks

I'd suggest the Vivosun 300w or 600w, great results for the price and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

hey there Welder, for your specific type of set up you're looking for Chip On Board standalone spotlights , usually you use one per plant but you can use them in a modular set up. Cannibalise expensive fixtures and cooling from warehouse lighting then add the best bulbs and controllers you can find. Or buy COBs ready made ! depends how brave you are and the budget obviously... but if you put the money on you get the yield out and that makes it quickly worth it. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I have a Mars Hydro TS 600 doing magic in a 60x60cm setup👌🏼 Very good value for money.

Simple answer to this is too research potential lamps you want and look at the specs of each. I'm assuming you're going LED? If so, in those manufacturers specs you want to look for their vegetation and flowering "footprint" this is the core spread of light the lamp will be able to cover. Anything outside of that footprint will get less light, or be fighting for light. Reflective sides help maintain a decent intensity at the outer edges of the tent, but it's not perfect. Luckily, for your space, you don't need a large, expensive lamp with a large footprint. The standard, low cost LED's or quantum board LED's are built for 3x3 veg and 2x2 flowering footprint. When comparing lamps, look for an even spectrum, efficiency and output. I personally recommend Spider Farmer 1000 quantum board LED. It's top quality, new tech that covers the footprint you need. It's not very expensive and is comparible with all blurple LED's pricing but with better output and efficiencies. Research is key here. Weigh your options and remember that lumens aren't everything. It's what spectrum and footprint those lumens can accomplish. I wish you luck in your find. You will find something quickly, I'm sure. Look for warranties, however. Spider Farmer stands behind their products but others don't. The old saying, buyer beware, comes to mind. This will be the most important piece of your grow (aside from your actual genetics) so brand name and warranties do count here. Please don't buy a no name China brand light. They are fire hazards and they should not be in the home...trust me. Cheers👍👌!
