Best LED Grow Lights 2020 | 2x4 Coverage Area

I'm working on writing articles for the best LED grow lights here in 2020. I will have different articles for the different size coverage areas. The LED grow lights listed here have a flowering coverage area of 2'x4' and are for a full-cycle grow - from seedling through flowering. This list is complete fixtures only; DIY LED grow lights or lights that require assembly are not included. For a LED grow light to make this list, I factor in: PAR output, efficiency, spectrum, light spread, diodes, drivers, and warranty. Below are the LED grow lights that I am considering putting into the article:

The grow lights are listed in no specific order. Click on the light to learn more about it:

ChilLED Growcraft X2 LED Grow Light
ChilLED Growcraft X3 LED Grow Light
The Green Sunshine Company ES300 V2 LED Grow Light
Spider Farmer SF-200 0 LED Grow Light
Mars Hydro SP-25 0 LED Grow Light
Mars Hydro SP3000 LED Grow Light

Are there any LED grow lights that have a flowering coverage area of 2'x4' that aren't on this list but you think should be? Are there any LED grow lights on this list that you think shouldn't be?

I'm looking into getting a 60x32x80'' tent. Trying to find a light that covers that footprint through flower seems a little difficult though. What light would you recommend for that size? Are these 4x2's enough?

Hmmm that's an odd size. I'm not aware of any grow light companies that make a light for that size?

How do you like the mars hydro sp3000? Trying to pick between sp3000 and GLS grow300 for a 2x4. Sp3000 says 2.8 efficiency and grow300 2.6 are this the numbers to go by? Thanks for the help.

@rayrabbit Looks like they are very similar. I don't think you could go wrong with either one imo. I personally don't only go by the efficiency number; I also factor in other things such as PAR output, light spread, diodes used, driver, etc. Here's a LED buyers guide which explains more: https://www.mrgrowit.com/post/2019/03/05/led-grow-light-buyers-guide-2019-indoor-cannabis-gardening

I've been watching some older you tubes. You have reviewed with California lightWorks, mars hydro sp3000 and ES180 v2. im in a 2x4 tent. the spectrum from California LightWorks looks really good. But 250 seems to small and 500 extreme 400 watts is a concern. ES180 i love the spectrum, this my 1 choice but should i save up for ES 300? Will ES180 it fit a 2x4 tent coverage ? My big stresser is not being able to find Grow Science Grow 300 reviews anywhere, why is that? Seems they would have advertisement in social media, i found you. The sp 3000 is new and not sure of the reliability. People talk bad on social media. So my question is out of the the Mars Hydro, California Light Works 250, ES180 and the GLS Grow 300( crazy no unboxing or pffd test) what would you recommend for a 2x4 tent?

Big fan, I've been watching of you tube a lot trying to settle on a light. Thank you for your time and effort,i appreciate it.
