Hello buddy. Is that 2000 true watts? Or that's just what they are advertised as?

My 300w rolendo only pulls 134w at the wall , my king spectrum is a 1200w only pulls like 250w at the wall , a new king spectrum on amazon we’ll cost ya about 350 Canadian . I can say I’ve personally seen a great increase in bud growth in just three days after adding it in my tent with the 300w . Both light don’t throw much heat and if you can handle a little fan hum ( not as loud as the 12” pedestal fan ) there not bad . But as said in a post above the intensity of the lights do drop rather quickly the further away you get from it .

I expect just what is advertised. How would I tell. It comes with a page of lumens and other information. I do not understand it.

On your data sheet it should state draw at volt ie 240v ~ 653w +-5

Maybe put a puc if the sheet up if you can't find it dude

hay guys, this is my first post here. im from america in florida where its 90 degrees and 90 % humidity most of the year. I am currently using 4 quantum boards in a 48 inch by 24 in tent. each board has a equivalent PAR output of a 250watt hps and use 135 watts of juice. The LED diodes are made from SAMSUNG and are rated to last up to 100,000 hrs with less than a 5% loss in that time. They work well 8 inches away to 48 inches away from canopy with good penetration. Right now im running 2 plants, California Dream strain, in 5 gallon buckets with a 5 gal res and 2 peltier block chillers i had from some old water cooling project with a PC. I can share all my vids or pics if anyone wants to see any specific pics of my set up let me know. horticulture lighting group is the people that make them. they come with outrageous customer service and the board with ballast and heat sink is $185! my power bill is stupid low. i was able to leave my Veg time on for a 20 on 4 off it was so cheap. the heat they put off is small at best. Im an HVAC-R tech with over 5 years of schooling, i did all my research on the market and they kill it.
