So the light you looking at uses the 2nd most efficient LED, the SMD . In the LED lighting world, currently there are just a few really good chips and manufacturers. The Samsung Lm301b is the current king. Best in efficiency, heat production, light intensity etc. The SMD chip set is the 2nd best ( or any number is a reference to the size of said chip 30mm×30mm). For the price it looks like a good entry level light or for a small tent/foot print. If the ppfd charts are correct then it will definitely produce decent yields.
Cool thanks @Rye, buddy appreciate that I look at all the numbers and specs an im like yeah ok, I’m in the middle of dividing a room in my basement that’ll be 5’ by 13’ not sure if I wanted to divide it an make 2, but just trying to find something that’ll fill the space I was thinking of getting 2, and I have 2 of these
Man that’s a BIG area. I’d for sure divide it into 2, if not 3. I currently run a 5×5 and a 2×4, and I could use some more indoor area but I have WAY too much outside space to justify it.
The advantage of 2 or more areas is you can get a true perpetual grow going. Seedling to flower all in their own space/environment. Plus you can have a decent amount of space to work in, therefore it’s easier to do the chores and easier to keep clean.
I made this cabinet when I made my workbench, its 52"wide by 20" deep x 42" high its works out pretty good for seedlings an clones, I’m sure someone else on here would have a perfect use for it
If you go with the over the 301b or 301h, you will pay the difference in electric cost, increase heat…SO cough up now…301b for soil, 301h for hydro…not really a difference in quality, just MORE WATERPROOF
It is OK for sprouting and vegging, and as plus has some IR…But when you get down to flowering, step it up or just use this as stage 1 grow area. II do that and move my plants to my 640w when the time comes.
BY THE WAY…KIILLA WORK AREA…
Gotcha @Mrb thank you I appreciate it man, an thanks gotta have my work space
@Mrb so what would be a good light around $300 price range, I’m planning on buying 2 so anything you can suggest would be awesome
What is your time frame? ASAP, in a little while, later…
@Mrb probably within the month
That takes buying direct form China out of the deal as build / ship would put you past that timeframe
Viparspectra XS . I am a big fan of this light as it performs as well as the ’s of other brands. Has Samsumg led’s, good warranty, etc. I run one of these, along side my 640w 8 bar…I have harvested 2 crops with this and it is spot on for a full spectrum grow cycle
Want more information on Smd? Feel free to contact us.
I paid 147.38…on Amazon but can’t find a coupon now…Check out the specs
try code VIP on their site (check google for coupon codes)…
For your $300, you pretty much get a pair…I have compared this to the Spider Farmer …it alone is $300, and the Mars too…this will double the effectiveness
Be advised, the XS is better light so check carefully. It does have larger PPFD zone and the sweet spot is almost 400 umols higher. Perfect for a 2x4 spot. So the hard part is: a pair of ’s or 1 …and a cheapo like the Maxi for seedlings. I do that also. I run 3 lights plus a UVA/UVB and RED 75w (root development) and am adding 2 blues (25w each) for veg growth
@Mrb ok I appreciate all your help man ill take a look at it this evening thanks again!!
you’re welcome. If this is for the cabinet you made (52x20x42) consider the XS and add small single socket lamps on the sides…Great place for a RED on one side, blue on the other. Can be 25w-75w…You can also throw in a UVA/UVB bulb in late flower to pump up the terpines, then switch back to the blue for higher THC content
Its actually for my room I’m building the 5’x13’
Do you plant to add a high wattage light n the future? If so, I would go with the pair of ’s. You can early grow under them and finish off under a larger light. That is what I did. I had a custom light built in China. It sis not come without issues but it eventually came and works.
8bars, 389 led per bar, IR & UV included, 6 ft driver leads so I could mount externally (less heat & control dimmer form outside the area), 640w full spectrum Samsung 301b’s…
Not sure exactly yet, trying to be budget friendly, what did that light bar run you?? @
$550 but delivery was 90.00 on a slow boat. Shipping can run 140-200 for a QUICK turnaround but that still is at least a week plus all the documents they have to process to ship it. Figure a month to month and a half. AND, if there is a problem…another month for return and replace.
So it ran me basically $1 a watt but is comparable to a Gavita costing almost twice as much.
All these numbers! What's going on?
Have you ever been looking for LED light strips and ran across the numbers , , or ?
These numbers are less mysterious than you might think.
First off, you might have seen the letters "SMD" preceding these enigmatic numbers. The abbreviation SMD refers to a 'Surface Mounted Device'. That means this is an LED Chip (device) mounted directly to a light strip, without using wires. This surface mounting technology is indeed what makes LED Light Strips possible. The numbers after the SMD simply refer to the physical size of the LED Chip. Take SMD for example, they are 3.5mm wide and 2.8mm long. Note that size is not proportional to output or performance, and it is not the only difference between LED chip types.
SMD
SMD Chips are perhaps the most common of all LED light strip chips. They are the least bright and least power-intensive of the three chips we use at HitLights, and are most commonly used for accent lighting, such as above kitchen cabinets and around the crown molding below the ceiling.
chips used to be featured in our Luma5 strips, but those now primarily use lower output chips which offer the same brightness of chips but with greatly improved efficiency and lifespan. You can shop our selection of Luma5 strips here.
SMD
SMD Chips are just barely behind the chips in popularity. These chips are 5.0mm x 5.0mm. chips are typically 3 times as bright as chips. Because they're brighter, strips with chips are typically used for what we call 'task lighting', and commonly used underneath kitchen cabinets where that light will help you see what you're working on. strips are often also available in color changing styles, meaning that you can select any color you want with a remote or controller.
chips used to be featured in our Luma10 strips, in both the single color and multicolor versions. You can shop our selection of Luma10 RGB kits here.

SMD
SMD Chips look very much like chips, but they use newer technology and are typically much more efficient. This means that for equivalent power, they can be much, much brighter. They're smaller than the chips (2.8mm x 3.5mm). They make the ultimate in task lighting and even work lighting.
High output chips are utilized in our Luma20 strips, which are the brightest (and most efficient) strips that we sell. You can shop our selection of Luma20 strips here.
Editor's note: As a final aside, while the Luma designations initially were associated with certain chip types (Luma5 was , Luma10 was , and Luma20 was ) with improvements in LED technology these designations quickly became invalid. Instead, our Luma designations should always refer to the number of lumens per chip - around 5 lumens per chip for Luma5, around 10 lumens per chip for Luma10, and around 20 lumens per chip for Luma20.
Now you should know the difference between the different types of LED chips on our strips.
