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 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
