    • I bought one of the SF2000 lights to test how it does and I could not be more disappointed in it. My 5 or 6 year old Viperspectra 700PAR kicks its ass, What I learned from the experience is too look at the PPDF charts and ignore the MFG max foot prints because most of them lie. 

       I have 3 1000w HIDs I want to replace with LEDS. I think 2 of these are my next light but something better may come out in the next few hours.

      • What size is your grow area? From the chart it looks like one would be ok in a 2 X 2 tent or for one plant. But if you shop around the PPFD map is different on different site

        • I like the Viperspectra lights, the ones I bought have been great lights. They do a good job and dont break the bank

          • I know this is an old thread but I’ll chime in.  I purchased one of these back 2020.   Actual watts 150. I replaced a 1200 Phlizon which I’m not fond off. The Mars Hydro TS1000 seems to do alright. I ran both of the lights mentioned above in a 3’x3’x7’ for a grow. Then I pulled the Phlizon and did another grow with just the Mars Hydro.  No difference . Much cheaper on electricity for using just the Mars. Same outcome so now I’m going to try another grow with just Mars. I’m going to put the light a bit closer to the plant once the seedling gets taller than 3”.  Overall I like the actual bright. White color.  The Phlizon wasn’t worth the $$$$.

          • That said I have seen some really great canopies grown under lights that shouldn't be so great if you do the  math so there is more  to it
