I just bought an 8’x8’ tent. Thinking of a couple of 700ish watt LED lights. Light volt grow or spider farmer? Who can recommend what?

Well I don’t have to fill the whole tent but I would like to. My budget is about 1k to 1200Nice. Love spending other people's money.
I think they all do pretty well these days. Weed can be a PPFD hog for sure, so PAR maps are what should make your decision. Definitely a bar light. 8x8 will be tough to cover properly with 2 lights. 4 smaller might be a better option based on the maps.
People I trust have run Spider Farmer and recommended them. So like 4 of these would be perfect:

Do you have any good places that sell these? Amazon is the cheapest I can find them.I'll be honest I wanted the spider farmer se7000 but couldn't afford it. Went with vipar spectra ks5000. From what I can divulge they are about the lowest price point you can pay for authentic Samsung diode lights (alot of lights in the range with knock off diodes). I'd imagine if you bought 4 you could get them about 325-350 each. I'll know more next grow as i run wall to wall with plants but the buds are nice and dense and the light seems to be just enough as I'm not running co2. Co2 the ks5000 won't cut it.
Tell ya what tho, as of right now I'd buy another. After next grow if it does sufficient with the wall to wall coverage I most likely will buy another.
Amazon was where I got mine...it's almost always 500 with a 100 off coupon. I caught it at 475 with the 100 coupon.Do you have any good places that sell these? Amazon is the cheapest I can find them.
If you go right to vipar spectra site they have them for 399.00Do you have any good places that sell these? Amazon is the cheapest I can find them.
Yeah Amazon is cheaper and it’s there store….?If you go right to vipar spectra site they have them for 399.00
May be worth a shot then just add in a se5000 later or an se7000...maybe even cut the 5000 or 7000 in half to fill around edges if you find it not enoughWould it be better to just get one big ass light? Like this? it says it covers 6x6- B0CD1GYX8P
Here is what you want to look at:Would it be better to just get one big ass light? Like this? it says it covers 6x6- B0CD1GYX8P
No LED onlyNo names from me, but depending on real space I see 8x8 being 8x6 and equipment in the other 2x8.
I would be looking for 4 lights that can flower 3x4 space.
I would not put all my eggs in one basket at all.
Maybe if you always grow one strain my idea may not be necessary.
I want to be able to raise or lower all 4 corners.
Not a MH or HPS fan?
Big spaces...
Theyre 262 on spider farmer
I think you'd really want 5, but i wanna say 4 would be an ok starting point.Only thing is I don’t know if it has Samsung diodes. Does it matter?
Edit - it does have them
Ok, repped Viparspectra at the 420 Forums and have a code in my thread, that said, 2 KS5000 will fill the 4x8 almost wall to wall. Samsung LM 401h diodes were the best until the Evo Samsung came out and they are more efficent but not so much to wait on. Also check out Grand Master Level or GML lighting for spectrum capabilities and best spectrum that you can dial in. $$ though. Spartangrown can get you a deal there.
