I have a 300 watt apollo led. is this enough for the 48 x 24 x 60 grow tent? thanks!

A 300 watt Apollo is rated for around 8 sq ft so It should do fine. The reflective properties of the walls will help.

A 300 watt LED is quite powerful. It's more than enough for a 2x4 tent IMO. Go for it!

It depends on the lumen output of your bulb. Minimum amount of lighting needed is around 2000 lumens per square foot.Mid range is around 5000 lumens per square foot. Optimal is 7000-7500, or higher, lumens per square foot. 40,000 lumens would be mid range for that tent. I use a 400w HPS light in that exact tent and it does the job. Then there is a matter of wattage. Judging by your 300 w rating it may do the job. Take some time to do the math. More is better than less and your plants will tell you the same.

It depends on how high you mount the light. Mine is mounted 36" above the water on a 48" tank. The ends are a little darker, but not everything can take the direct output of this fixture, such as mushrooms and lps. Start with one would be my advice, and be very care with initial intensity. Break in your livestock slowly!!

yes it would. but the light fixture are some what larger and will fit in the tent but with the 150 or 250 will get the inside of the tent very HOT. so nif you can find lights bright enuff to grow your plants. also make sure to have very good ventalation out off each vent. you can also make a light by useing floresent bulbs you know the engery savine ones. the curley ones. thats what i used. go to home depo and put one togather your self. hpoe this helps you

72 watts on 12volts doesn't sound unreasonable. A 16.4 foot strip provides plenty of light. I used 8 feet to illuminate my camper van and had to buy a dimmer as it was too bright. My estimation is approximately .25 watt for each diode and there are 18 per foot. Hope this helps. Paul

You will have more bug than you can shake a stick at if you use higher than a 25 watt!!! 60 watts lite up the hole campground. lol We love our light but he had to buy our bulbs twice on this account love our 15 watt ones!!!

Not real sure, I've got mine in a 3ftX3ft tent with a 600 watt bulb, and it provides even coverage in the whole tent. I'd say it would probably do a 4x5 area with a 1000 watts.

This light has 3 mounting rings on the unit. I use 2 loops of large zip ties ran across the roof of the grow tent with a single link of chain per mounting ring to hold it. My light is about 2" from the roof and 3' from the floor. Best sized space for one of these is 3'x3'x4'. I use 3'x3'x3.2' and keep my plants short and bushy.

Yes. Although you may want to overestimate your requirements for that power supply. These boards are quite efficient, but not 100%, so your supply will need to provide &gt;30 watts to get 30 watts to the LED. Anyway, in all cases it is a good idea to have 30% or so overhead on your power supply.

Dear Mstruyf ,Nice day. Thanks for your interest on this item. This is Lydia from customer service team, it's my pleasure to help you.So you mean the size or the watt of the LED? If for the watt of the LED, 250W or 400W is much better.Thanks for your time and best regards!Lydia

The 60 watt bulbs will fit, I don'think the heat will be too great. I think your problem will come from the amount of light output and the temperature of the light. Make sure the light temp. is correct for your camera settings. 5600 K is day light temp.

That's a lot of fixtures (38 x 17 - 3 strips per fixture ) 8 x 7 room. I'm currently running 2 fixtures in a tent covering 16 sq feet. Led's are @ 50 degree angle which dictates placing fixtures closer together. Approximately 6 fixtures is what I would start with, but no match for 2 1000 watt HID's. Was in Denver and spotted these fixtures being used at a shop and it was quite a impressive view. I'm quite happy with my 2 fixtures. Remember now these fixtures are only 120 watt rating so your output will be diminished some. If money is no real issue then I would have gone with California Light Works my second choice.

I have a 4ft Quantum 8 bulb T5 fixture in the tent. It is exactly 48" x 23.5". The fixture itself fits snuggly in between the left and right side poles of the unit. The power cord pushes the wall out a little -- not really enough that it matters though. If that seems like something that will bug you, a right angled power chord will fix that right up for you. If your fixture is less than an 8 bulb, you will have no problems.

100 watt bulb is not recomended for this fixture. They recommend a 60w...I put a 60w spiral which gives my stairwell plenty of light...and it does not show through the globe. I llke the retro look of this fixture in our mountain cabin.

Hi Brad, sure should work seamless for the 60 W LED. In general, I would always stay ca. 30% below the max. Watts given by the manufacturers of such devices because of temperature issues. Other than that, I use this one for one year now without any problem. Hope this helps.Best regardsPatric

I don't recommend this tent. It is not tall enough for a 400watt sunlight bulb. Plants burn and dry out easily. The 96 inch tall tent is wonderful.. after purchasing the 96 inch I have packed up the 48 inch and it sits collecting dust.

Yes but wouldn't go much bigger in that size tent because a 400 watt light is going to Be able to handle more then one plant but your only going to fit one in that tent but I'm also using LED rather then the traditional light setup

I would say yes... I have two on a 55g tank.. It's 48long...turned to about 50%. I also have a 60g cube... It's 24x24... Have one on it and one is plenty! And a 125Reef with 3.... I have the LEDS turmed up about 75% they are BRIGHT!
