What LED light is equivalent to 600W HPS?

What LED light is equivalent to 600W HPS?

For example, the US-made Platinum P450 274W LED grow light (which is listed as equivalent to a 600W HPS) offers 11 bands ranging from ultraviolet to infrared.

How many square feet does a 600 watt HPS light cover?

36 square feet
600-Watt HPS grow lights are the most efficient HPS grow lamp. 600W HPS grow lights produce more light output per Watt used than other wattages and cover around 36 square feet. 1000-Watt HPS grow lights are the most powerful and cover a wider area of around 49 square feet.

How high should my 600W light be?

The optimum hanging height for a 600W HPS system is only 40cm or 16″. Even at this low height a lot of light will shine on the side walls and have to be reflected down onto the grow. The reflective materials will not reflect all of the light and there will be some light lost (heating the walls).

How much power does a 600W HPS use?

6 kilowatts x 12 kilowatts per day.

Are LEDs better than HPS?

LEDs are much the same. Though they’re generally more efficient than HPS (with some clocking 2.8 µmol/joule), some LEDs are less efficient than high-quality HPS fixtures, and they give you less light. The reflector hood also decreases the stated efficiency of an HPS fixture.

How many plants can a 600W HPS grow?

Sixteen plants
Sixteen plants that are grown under a 600-watt HPS lamp could produce about 37.5 grams or 1.3 oz of marijuana per plant. Under perfect, outdoor conditions, you can expect yields to extend to 500 grams or 17.5 oz per plant.

How much does it cost to run a 600 watt HPS?
