Led grow lights

Post by Cro03115 »

I’m currently building a dwc for 12 plants.
The room is 10 foot by 12 foot and the lowest part of the ceiling is 5 foot and the highest is 7.5 foot.
I’m looking at led grow lights but I am unsure on how many i will need. Will I need 1 450w light per plant directly above or will I be able to have less lights but spread evenly.
I’m going for more width than hight.
Sorry if this is simple and newbe
:oh-shit:

Welcome to GR420.

A general rule of thumb i use is 480w of LED to 16 Square feet, 4ft x 4ft area. Off the top of my head you are looking at around 6 lights. Lights like the ISH 530, ISH F Bars, ISH 650 F.

@Invisible Sun are a sponsor here and the lights are spot on. Ive moved over to them from HPS.

Invisible Sun is defo the way to go.

ISH 530, ISH F Bars, ISH 650 F.

They also have a controller that would be a perfect addition to the setup.

Around 3600w for a room that size. Over 12 plants that's 300w a plant.

I'd suggest the ISH650F or ISH530

So either 6 x ISH650F Systems or 8 x ISH530 systems

The ISH650F RRP at 799.95 each Inc taxes and the ISH530 RRP from 519.95 - £819.95 depending on the model.

If you're looking at multiple units speak to us and we can arrange a multi purchase deal.
