Porky 1982 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I’ve actually still got me heating on half aswell Sent from my iPhone using OZ Stoners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MongyMan Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Yeah they give off heat but it’s from the driver which if he buys the HLG but not the 550 he can mount the driver outside if he wishes. Having drivers outside the room would be a huge difference in heat for sure with either LED or HID lights. I can't see why heat is such an issue for the OP though? A 600w HID with decent cool tube setup is easy to do and negates any heat issues. How did you have the tent setup for heat to still be an issue Smellslikechai?

Porky 1982 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I thought we were talking about total heat out put which ever way you look at it led is much cooler Sent from my iPhone using OZ Stoners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro de pacas Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Bullshit, 100 watt of LED will produce the same heat as 100 w of HPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman pat Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Don’t know if I can agree with you on that one mate, my 250w runs cool enough too touch without any discomfort. Couldn’t do that to a 250w hps. The higher watt one get pretty darn hot though Sent from my iPhone using OZ Stoners Edited October 30, 2019 by Postman pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MongyMan Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I thought we were talking about total heat out put which ever way you look at it led is much coolerNah I was talking drivers. All good anyway on total heat,that is just one of the age old generalised LED v's HID arguments though Porky and it simply isn't true in all setups. Reality is there is no best light for every setup. All grow spaces have differences and in some yes LED might be a better choice but for others HID might be. Given the OP's tent size and setup I cant see how heat is an issue though with HID and how LED would be of any advantage in the same setup. If anything logic says changing to led would increase heat issues if you already have issues using cool tubes. A good HID setup with cool tubes will always run cooler than any LED lighting.

micmac Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Sounds to me that extraction may be a issue ,also circulation of air in spaceI've run a 2x2x2 with 2 x 600 hps in summer during days of 40+ temps outsideI never had a issue with itThe only time heat has been a issue was when the light was way too close,user error,To run that tent successfully you need at least 250mm fan with a 1 metre carbon filterThis will give you the extraction you need to run any light,led or hid or even 3 or 4 hps if you desire,along with a large fan in each corner, some extra co2 wouldn't hurt,you can buy a bag ,can't remember name atm,that will produce extra co2 for 6 months,can't hurtSo I'm thinking if heat is your problem better extraction and circulation could solve your problems A automatic fan speed controller wouldn't hurt either Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
