Best 5x5 grow light 2024
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- I review the best grow lights I have tested for a 5ft x 5ft or 1.5m x 1.5m grow space. These are the best grow lights from 600 watts to 1,000 watts I have tested and are available on the market today.
Full blog post here: migrolight.com...
The calculation for 3 year cost is based on delivering 800 µmols average PAR to the plant canopy in a 5ft x 5ft area. The cost includes the price of the fixture and the cost of electricity at the average US rate of 16.8C per KW hour run for 3 years at 12 hours per day.

Shane, you don't even image how this helps, thank you very much !
Just got the Array 4x4 and are very pleased! Super light! Love your reviews!
Please test the Lazerlight 720W Pro. I have this light and it works perfect. For my opinion its the best light and under valued. You can become this lamp with 5 year garantee for 240 euro.
I just upgraded my two SP3000 to one of the new AC Infinity IonFrame Evo8 lights. Most expensive grow equipment I have ever purchased, hopefully it pays off!
Bout to do the same.
Save up a little more and get a HLG Scorpion diablo V2 or a Grand Master Led
@@jptatts404whats the point?
Actually getting a light that does what it says.....
The Ac Infinity lights underperform to say the least. Plus they literally only have a 1 year warranty.
This same channel has videos showing this sir.... Your grow, your money. Do as you please. But the information is there
I would not get the ac infinity light I’m looking to upgrade from my ac infinity
thanks shane!
Where is the 2025 edition of these lists?
Do you think the HLG diablo x is to much for a 5x5 grow tent?
It's perfect for a 5x5
@MIGROLIGHT Which would you recommend for the best light for a 5x5 besides the Photontek? Photontek is way to much money.
@@Double_J_Nugzthe scorpion diablo has 1 680 watt driver, the diablo x has 3288 diodes and the main diablo has 3998 diodes. Both with no far red. The Borg Evolution has 2 680 watt inventronics drivers , a 200 watt inventronics and a 100 watt inventronics driver. 5600 diodes , 10 bar. 60 preset spectrums and 27 custom presets on our controller. It can do hundreds of spectrums and Adapt to any companies spectrums and the first light that can even do DE HPS SPECTRUM. SPECTRUM RANGE 1800K TO 9000K.
FOR 1300 USD. THE BEST VALUE IN A LIGHT EVER. Or you can pay 1299 usd for a single channel light one driver ip20...............
@@Double_J_Nugz Our own ARAY 5X5 of course! 😊link here: migrolight.com/collections/aray/products/aray-5x5
Not waterproof or resistant at allll. I wouldn't
them HLG are garbage at dispersion
Mammoth for the win. The mint white is by far the best fixture ive used.
Mammoth mint 680w is $699 not $799 - the 880w is $849. , for the price they blow the others away and some of the cheapest to buy with some of the highest build quality , why get marrs or spider or ac when mammoth is same price or cheaper
I was literally just on Amazon looking for a 5x5 or 4x4...then you pop up in my recommended!
The AC infinity Evo10 is the best if that's what you are looking for.
@@WeAreLegion-no it’s not be fr
Amazon stinks bro
It's a sign from God to like and subscribe
I have 2 g4500s in a 5x5. But certainly looking to find something else for that tent.
The tarantula is even more efficient if you dim slightly or hang higher. It is truly the best. 6x6 tent minimum
I use in 4x4 wrong
Run as fast as you can away from that Mars hydro App.
It’s like a drunk toddler put the software together .
🤣
Tarantula ultimate par map is crazy! So uniform, 1300 in corners?? Might need to get one of those
correct me if im wrong, but most of the lights were tested with the old par-spectrum right? While some,. including the Migro aray, were measured with epar? That means the other lights look worse than they actually are because you have to add 3-5%umol, right?
Yes, you are correect. There is 1 to 2% far red in most led fixtures with white LEDs. The fixtures in this list were tested over about three years. I would have tested the last 1.5 to 2 years with the ePAR meter and before that the Apogee SQ500 and Spoton meter which do not detect that 2 to 3% far red.
@@MIGROLIGHTcould you plz explain your numbers to me… turns out your math and mine are not producing the same total cost. I assume light cost plus 3 year electric cost equals total 3 year expense…? But when I add the two numbers together I don’t get the same answer as you😅 0:52
what about the vivosun lineup they hae excllent lights just got the vsfd 6500 2.8 efficiency better than most on your list
Yea, what do you have for a normal people? Looks like this is focused on commercial usage.
Wanted to thank you for the uv lamp. My first harvest you could tell the difference. Flavor and potency both increased. I know because I'm running strains that I'm very familiar with. Just so happy to tell you the news!
Please tell us more which uv lamps and how do you use It ?
Okay so maybe I’m missing something here… but isn’t the total cost after 3 years figured by adding the initial cost of the light to the cost of operating the light for 3 years? IF SO (and maybe I’m wrong) then these total are incorrect. At least the first 5 are incorrect. Like I said possibly I’m doing something wrong here. ANY help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to make an informed decision😅 4:17
Great work Shane. Tt for your tine and efforts to simplify the light options available for us.
How do you calculate avg PAR? You said you calculated running cost @ 800 µmols/(5x5)/sec. However the numbers shown for PAR vary wildly from that. Are the shown values measurements of the lights running @ 100%? Did you simply extrapolate from the measurements @100% to reach the running costs? That would be somewhat misleading as some lights will run @ 100% to reach avg. of 800 while others would have to be dialled down a to more efficient ranges. Wouldn't it be more illustrative to show the intensity grid when they actually reach 800µmols and the wattage used? I realise that making all those measurements would be exhausting but you don't get a true representation of hotspots nor running costs when the intensities vary that much.
Medic grow smart 8. Regularly goes on sale and with promo 450 to the door. 760 watts.
Timber FATTY VS 1000 WATT 3000k (6) outside ( 3) with 1750k n middle for flowering n hlg for veg 4000k i kno sumn 1 killn it
I have a Timber Fatty as well.
I used 5-1750k In a cross pattern and then 3&4k's diagonally across from each other.
The avg color temp is 2525k.
In addition, I added 2 4ft SolarCure bulbs.
I'll put it up against any light on this list.
I'm about effectiveness, not efficiency. However, both would be tremendous!
Thanks Sean!
Migro has been a great source of information to me over the years.
Amazing information!
I have the mars hydro smart fc 8000 Evo for my 5x5 and it's working beautifully
why ac infinity is not there ?
I just noticed I haven't sub for this channel yet even tho I watched probably every video heh. But these type of things I'm interest in and see how technology gets better in this area year by year. Big thanks to Migro channel, I have learned alot from you.
So this isn't really the "Best" list, it's the "cheapest" to run list---which is misleading. If you wanted to show the "Best" for growing your list would be sorted by useable ppf of some manner. Or are you telling us that all that PAR map data you've collected means nothing? You could've made a more honest presentation at least.
'Best' is best value for money and it's objective with repeatable test parameters. The PAR maps are a qualitive visual representation of the output of the fixture. Please clearly detail your proposed 'honest' method of objectively comparing 25 different fixtures for wattage, spectrum, price, build quality, spread, service delivery etc. I'd love to see it. I'll give you some honest feedback on it.
Actually I did. You're claiming a connection between price and "best" grow light. Your presentation focused entirely on the last column of your made-up chart so I suggested sorting by a different column based on ppf instead of your misplaced focus on cheapest. No need to get butt hurt; it's not like i'm your competition. If you wanted to answer the question of which light would grow the best crop in a 5x5---this post didnt do that which does misrepresent the title more than a little.
@@MIGROLIGHT
You dud start the video saying "this a list of the best led grow lights I've tested" only mention of value for money was at the top of the list. Intentional or unintentional, its very misleading
Exactly! Just sort the list he provided by ppf and then it will better match the title.@@metatron6066 @MIGROLIGHT
Tarantula tent dimmed down is the best for hobby gardening.
Love the content. But how about doing a light review on the varidrive maxibright 720 w
Might be a good light for people on a budget as most people can’t afford a lot of lights on the market. 👍
Bestva 4000 and HONORSEN 3000 , and 2 1000 lights in a 5x10 …. Along with C02 = 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳you don’t have to spend thousands on lights for small rooms. Had some buds so heavy they snapped the stems.
I only paid $545 after applying the discounts for a G8600 from Spider Farmer. I'm happy, in a 4x4 with tank Co2. RDWC, thank you for suggesting it.
What discounts ?
I have a 4x8 tent.
I also have a light rail. What wattage light would you recommend.
Thank you once again always a pleasure your consi and to the point we appreciate that thank you for your time hope you have a good day
severely underrated video... this shit is a chill sesh, I could chill to this in an elevator
could you do a video on light movers
Im considering to buy the MIGRO 5X5 ansd by checking the color spectrum, it hasn't a considerate red peak on its wavelength.. but is very balanced, is there a good explanation? Or just it is what it is?
dimlux extreme 750w o 100wHello, good afternoon, I really like your videos. I have a Dimlux and I would love to hear your opinion about it. They have a multispectral sensor on the digital screen, nominal pt correction area, it's amazing. I hope you can take a look at it. The digital screen has everything, apart from the 140W UV+NIR controller. I hope you get a response. Thank you for your content.
Quite a few of these have " blue" corners. Surprising,
the blue fixture doesn't😅 The GML, HLG bar and Tarantula, and MIGRO lights are all impressive.
Has anyone trued the GLMX720C Demountable 720w I'm thinking about buying one but just don't know if it's what I want in a 5x5
Love the channel here in the states any chance you could look into reviewing the California lightworks lights spectramax especially they are my favorite company here but also interested in black dog LED reviews. Both companies highly rated and performing but would love to see you break them down. Grower's love brother!
How about those RDJ Bouns 720W bar fixture lights on Amazon for $325. They're always recommended for price, and I purchased one when my Alibaba bar fixture driver failed, and I needed a quick replacement.
I was really bummed out, because your MIGRO 750 was coming out a month later. Had to keep the lights on though, and this has worked okay since July.
It'd be interesting to see a review, and they'd probably send you one. There motto, "To make a light that will not break", lol, was pretty funny. Definitely a Chinese company, like many.
Thanks for all you do Shane!
So can someone clarify for me cause Ive been trying to figure this out. This is saying there is not much benefit going over 480watts in a 4x4 right? Im ordering a 4x8 tent and led lights but thought it would be beneficial to get a 860w like spiderfarm g8600 or a 1000w but after watching this video im not too sure. Is it better off just getting two 480-600 watt lights since the yield would be barely increased with a 860-1000 watt light?
Medic grow, Samphon, viparspectra, Aglex and grandmaster led all good deals.
I don’t see SCYNCE RAGING KUSH or fluence SPYDR LEDs on the list
What do you have lighting for a 2 / 4 closet?What light would be sufficient?I want to have the largest light that takes up most of the space.Thank you please get back to me
GML tarantula tent ultimate is the nuts. Hoping you get their new spectrum tuning range in, at 1500w each.
Any reason why the Kingbrite was not mentioned in this 'best' grow light 2024?
It would be interesting which specs they have after 20000h.
Save money with spider Farmer get the same spread as some of these light that double the price 🤔
Wait until U need customer service,U will then see why they are cheap,I am on my 3rd driver in 12 months, when I bought the lights I thought they had meanwell driver but they decided to replace with a shit 1.
Would be good to see you test the hi par 1030 Watter
Great video!! I’ve seen a lot of great results and I’ve heard a lot of good things about your grow light the Array 4. Now im looking forward to add it to my grow
Greenception gcx 25 pwr has all in one 👍🏽
Hi shane looking to place an order with you, i have a 9ft x 11ft space, im not planning on running co2, what leds lights would you recomend for my space
Hi. I think 6 x ARAY 4X4 would suit your space perfectly and allow room to get around between the lights (just)
dimlux xtreme series with nir and UV? no test😢
Shane I would ABSOLUTLY LOVE to see you test the Porsche headlights with xenon gas that are all the rage lately. I want to see what the hype is about
Lol the clowns using Porsche headlights in their nans attic wouldn't have a clue what PPFD/DLI is.
@@seventeen9718 are you sure about that? Seems like a real powerful light. Wouldn't surprise me if Porsche is using quality diodes on their 3k USD headlight. With powerful light and good spread. I just wanna see the data
@@jaimedelgado7529 You can get a good quality spread and PPFD nowadays for extremely cheap. I'd say average person that would risk a theft charge over saving £500 for a quality light (for sub-par results), doesn't have the intelligence to know proper horticultural practice/science, absolutely.
Why didn't you test gavita?
Lower brands mostly, what about the gavita rs 2400 and_or the Growers choice ROI-E900 ??? What are you're thoughts on these?
Btw i mostly use the Growers choice e720's but i got one migro array 5x5 🫡
No mention of any Fohse lights.
Thanks shane for your reply I completely understand & keep up the great work.
Just bought the white rose 4000w LED off Amazon & then this pops up..... Knew I should of checked in with migro first let's hope this white rose was worth it!!!
Cheap Chinese light should of bought something better than this it's got poor reviews
It's 240w not the 4000w it claims
Have you ever tasted Fohse?
Please explain why PPFD/Watt and PAR are measured at different heights? Some lamps have 50cm, some have 35cm, some have 40cm. Shouldn't it be the same height, for objective measurements and comparison?
I've never seen you review Kind LED. Any certain reason?
no reason other than they have never sent me one.
Total trashhhhh
@@metatron6066 I'm not sure about the older models, but my Kind X750 is a beast. Not a fair comparison to make, but it outperforms my other lights. Mars FC-6500, AC Infinity S44, Viparspectra XS-4000.
Regarding the Lumatek Photontek 600w pro which one is it? the 2.6, 2.7, 2.9, or 3.1? The 3.1 claims 1990μmol/s using 640W.
Thinkgrow led?
What do you think about Dimlux Led's?
We would really appreciate a test of this brand...
Best Channel for Led reviews 👏
hello sir,
have u ever done a test of DIMLUX lights? its a dutch company that claims to have the best price/performance ratio on the market. cant find any reviews on it aynwhere.
Lol @ spider farmer being the best, not a chance GML TARANTULA DESTROYS IT
I noticed something very interesting. I was mesuring PAR levels of differnet lights, with two differentAPP and all worked out well. I have an LED flloodlight and with both app, showed (unreal) very low PAR level, but the interesting thing is that the closer I put my meter to the floodlight the smaller the PAR level get. Why is that happenenig, does anyone know what the limitation we see here with mobile APPS? Does it happened with anyon else?
Gml Tarantula Vulcan Magma is 760 watt according Gml website but in your test only 707 watt. Can you explain please?
Is there anyway you can test a 800 watts 15 spectrum led light I just received it. I had for 4 days at a price of $395 it amazing plants are growing at a rapid pace. I am so impressed with the spectrum must see
Anyone knows whats the best LED for a 4x4 right now available in EU? I got sanlight evo+ but looking for something new.
16 cents a kilowatt not in the northeast more like 25 cents. I have the aray 8 but I split it up in two 4x2 tents and it’s rocking it yup
Look out spider Farmer going to shocked the world and some people going to start crying
Have you thought about making any residential light fixtures? I feel like what's available is so shit especially compared to grow lights.
That's hilarious he put his lights and spider farmer above GML.
GML is the best and he knows it . Starting to think Migro is a hater 🤔
Thank you for all you do. Why dont you review Kind leds? Are they not worth talking about?
I will assemble one that has 12 diode done. Because that is compatible with what the Gama is and I will send it to you. Can you send me the mail our address information thank you
I would love the test of the Lazerlite pro 720w cause i'm about to buy a few of them ty for the video
Don’t care what you all say, the sexiest light in a 5x5 is the Migro 600 hands down!
What about the medic grows? They’re by far the best value on the market
Would the Migro Aray 5x5 750W be a good light for a 4x4 tent?
can u test the New lumatek zeus 600 3.1 is the average par they listed real ?
We have Been in touch with our head office? Hope to see TNB on your channel soon.
700 like ✔️🇫🇮
"I struggle with taking all that on board" said the arrogant man 🤦♂️
Regarding the lumatek/ photontek; in the EU the 600w has three levels; 2.6, 2.7 and, 2.9 Micromol/J.
The 2.6 (the lowest) advertises 1570 micromols/s of total output. Is this false advertising or is it due to the americans using 110v instead of 220/240v of the EU?
(Im a biologist don´t know much about electricity, might be the dumbest question you´ve ever heard.)
The 2.9 says it produces 1770 µmol/s.
I currently run the 2.7 versions wich puts out 1620 µmol/s (lumatek data) and cant run at 100% untill the flowers have already developed or it will burn the leaves. I run 75% during the first 3
weeks of flowering and than switch to 100%. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Oh how I miss the days of HPS when all you needed to do was put your hand under the light.........
One thing I've noticed is that many of the bar style lights have terrible coverage compared to the others.
Great vid! Man I really like yours! Love the wide bars!
can u test the thinkgrow model h plus pls i want to know if the par map they got is real ?
Photo bio Mx 680 it stays cool and has done really good thanks for all the info
Medic grow starlink 680 watt 260 to the door when it was stocked.
What is the best led that will compare with my hps lumatek digital ballast 😮
Nice list!
how id the EVO8 by AC not make the list at all..
Could you please test Luxx and Optic leds?
Parfactworks ze700 runnin for almost 3 years...great light no issues so far
Good video. Thanks for your time
Hi Shane... The Kingbrite not good enough for this list?
