Hey guys, I'm really glad you're taking the time to listen to me. I'm actually looking for some advice on buying a new light for my 4x4 grow tent. I've been checking out the options on the market, and I've found two that caught my eye. The first one is a foldable lamp that can be easily installed right out of the box. It's really convenient, but the downside is that all the bars are fixed in place and can't be adjusted.

The second option is a bit more complex. It's shaped like a spider, and it comes with 8-12 removable bars and a driver in the box. Setting it up takes a bit more time, since you have to hang the driver first and then clip the bars onto it. However, the advantage of this spider light is that you can customize it to fit your needs. Each bar is 50 watts, so you can start with just a few bars for seedlings, and then add more as your plants grow. You can even adjust the space between the bars to get the perfect lighting for your plants.

It's hard to decide between the two options. Which one would you prefer?

Hi @Tracy85 , and welcome to 420 Magazine. They both look like great lights, but I would opt for the removable bar model. Reason being as you mentioned bars are removable to adjust light intensity. I also think the design would lend itself to replacing bars if a diode ever goes bad. I however do not know if that's an option, but it sure would be optimal.

hmmm, thank you for the reply. :)
 
yes the foldable has a dimmer. It's just that I believe the spider one can adjust the space between bars so it's enabling me to modify the lighting for different growth stages.
