Best 5x5 grow light 2024

I review the best grow lights I have tested for a 5ft x 5ft or 1.5m x 1.5m grow space. These are the best grow lights from 600 watts to 1,000 watts I have tested and are available on the market today.
Full blog post here: migrolight.com/blogs/grow-lig...
The calculation for 3 year cost is based on delivering 800 µmols average PAR to the plant canopy in a 5ft x 5ft area. The cost includes the price of the fixture and the cost of electricity at the average US rate of 16.8C per KW hour run for 3 years at 12 hours per day.

How about those RDJ Bouns 720W bar fixture lights on Amazon for $325. They're always recommended for price, and I purchased one when my Alibaba bar fixture driver failed, and I needed a quick replacement. I was really bummed out, because your MIGRO 750 was coming out a month later. Had to keep the lights on though, and this has worked okay since July. It'd be interesting to see a review, and they'd probably send you one. There motto, "To make a light that will not break", lol, was pretty funny. Definitely a Chinese company, like many. Thanks for all you do Shane!

Okay so maybe I’m missing something here… but isn’t the total cost after 3 years figured by adding the initial cost of the light to the cost of operating the light for 3 years? IF SO (and maybe I’m wrong) then these total are incorrect. At least the first 5 are incorrect. Like I said possibly I’m doing something wrong here.

@regularSenseAppeal 3 месяца назад

How do you calculate avg PAR? You said you calculated running cost @ 800 µmols/(5x5)/sec. However the numbers shown for PAR vary wildly from that. Are the shown values measurements of the lights running @ 100%? Did you simply extrapolate from the measurements @100% to reach the running costs? That would be somewhat misleading as some lights will run @ 100% to reach avg. of 800 while others would have to be dialled down a to more efficient ranges. Wouldn't it be more illustrative to show the intensity grid when they actually reach 800µmols and the wattage used? I realise that making all those measurements would be exhausting but you don't get a true representation of hotspots nor running costs when the intensities vary that much.

@TheMagnificentPuertoRican 4 месяца назад

The tarantula is even more efficient if you dim slightly or hang higher. It is truly the best. 6x6 tent minimum

@evgeniybolotian3231 8 дней назад

Please explain why PPFD/Watt and PAR are measured at different heights? Some lamps have 50cm, some have 35cm, some have 40cm. Shouldn't it be the same height, for objective measurements and comparison?

@jeremyplumb800 4 месяца назад

correct me if im wrong, but most of the lights were tested with the old par-spectrum right? While some,. including the Migro aray, were measured with epar? That means the other lights look worse than they actually are because you have to add 3-5%umol, right?

@MIGROLIGHT 4 месяца назад

Yes, you are correect. There is 1 to 2% far red in most led fixtures with white LEDs. The fixtures in this list were tested over about three years. I would have tested the last 1.5 to 2 years with the ePAR meter and before that the Apogee SQ500 and Spoton meter which do not detect that 2 to 3% far red.

@user-hb5zu3yl3c 4 месяца назад

@@MIGROLIGHTcould you plz explain your numbers to me… turns out your math and mine are not producing the same total cost. I assume light cost plus 3 year electric cost equals total 3 year expense…? But when I add the two numbers together I don’t get the same answer as you😅 0:52
