Best 5x5 grow light 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/blogs/grow-lig...
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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
