As always, thanks for providing such great content Shane. I've been growing indoors in 4x4 and 2x2 grow tents for about 3 years now and have only used Viparspectra lights. I have used both the XS2000 and XS4000. The main issue (if you want to call it an issue) I have had with both lights is them being TOO powerful, and following Viparspectra's height/power recommendations. I have been hesitant on purchasing an Apogee meter because of the price. Not until I saw your video review on the Photone app could I get a rather accurate reading of the PPFD coming from these lights. I was burning my plants based on the hanging height/power recommendations from Viparspectra. After using the Photone app, I kept the recommended hanging distance the same, but realized that I needed to reduce the power to around 60%-70% once in the the pre-flowering stage (to get a 900-1000 PPFD reading) compared to the 100% recommendation from Viparspectra. I was getting crazy high readings of 1500+ PPFD at 100%. I no longer burn my plants with these lights now that I use the Photone app based on your recommendation. Thanks for enlightening all of us with your knowledge/insights!

[@hannujar]

@@thatdude421 Depends on the quality of the camera in your phone. "Out of the box" it can be far off with cheaper phones. With a high end phone, after calibration (the app has easy calibration built in) with a proper PPFD sensor Photone can be almost as reliable as a proper PPFD sensor.

Awesome! What I would really like to see is comparisons of these for 4x4 and 5x5s, where instead of one larger light, four smaller ones are used. 600w cs. 600w, but possibly more uniform? and cheaper! Those are 100 dollars with discounts, which makes for a 600w 4x4 coverage over 900 PPFD for around 400 USD. That is pretty damn good.

I bought a Viparspectra P600 a couple of years ago, it replaced a 250w HPS that I was using in a mother/cloning tent, was blown away by how well it performed and began to make plans to replace both my 600w HPS in my flower tents with a couple of the bigger Viparspectra units in each, then the P600 only lasted only 6/7 months until I opened my tent one morning to find it in almost darkness, just a few of LED's were on and flickering, still well within warrantee I contacted Viparspectra thinking they would send me a replacement or repair my faulty light, no, the best they could offer me was another P600 that they said made a buzzing sound when switched on but otherwise nothing was wrong with it!! Theyre meant to be silent so one thats buzzing is faulty too no? That was my first and last experience with Viparspectra.

[@destroy-zn1zl]

Very well put together and thought out light for the size of the board. Viparspectra did very well with this one. Good work guys the lense system and positioning is the way forward on getting the light to go deeper and spread out to the corners properly without creating a hot spot in the middle and without creating a expensive big light that sprawls across the whole square of the tent. Science led were on to something good with using specialized lenses of different types in different possitions to get good light power at angles not usually possible without the lenses far away from the actual board. It also helps with good strong light to penetrate a lot deeper down too. Good to see someone else finally use this tech effectively and comming in at lower costs to the customers. These should work extremely good when bigger types are made and multiple lights are being used in a room. The plants should be able to pick up high light power from multiple different angles.

Also there are many areas on the Vivo spectra where there are no LEDs

[@MIGROLIGHT]

The MARS Hydro has to be hung higher to get the spread and it still is not as good as the XS1500. Totally fair comparison. The QB style board does not spread as well as the XS1500. Please check the PAR maps to see the difference. The proof is in the PAR maps

[@PoisonedSnowx]

They also downgraded the driver from a Meanwell to a Sozen. I think that this design is a little bit more expensive to make and there is just so much someone would pay for a 2x2 light so they have to keep their prices down and downgrade the components. I am using the original XS1500 that does have 301bs and Meanwell driver and it's working great. Not looking to upgrade since I see more value in having higher quality components than on a slight difference on light distribution.

If they keep stretching taller and look healthy then you can prob hang it at 30cm and at 18cm maximum but if they look unhealthy or the flowers at the top start looking and feeling too dry then that means the light intensity is too much for those particular plants/phenos and in that case I'd recommend keeping at 40cm and dimming it to 50-75% because the P1000 is the 2nd most powerful light in the green series (green being the colour of those model's) trust me I've flowered good yields with the P600 at similar hanging height's 🙏✌️

I got chillis in a tent too, the only way to get different types of chilli here, otherwise it’s just store bought ones, they’re all same old though, currently on white ghost chilli

[@chilbertuk1960]

when will leds in uk reach a better price point in comparrison to usa ? this light is $115 v £200 ! love the reviews thank you Shane - always a top top job

[@PeterKKraus]

When you get a 120v to 240v adapter.

Shut up because no way buying ftom usa because of customs He knows what he saying They have better prices because they say taxes bla bla bla I already send them an email about that my friend....

[@Brad656]

Yep , we get screwed in Australia too 😢😢

[@OleM-0891]

We got screwed in Europe too 199 € around 210 dolars Viparspectra go s*uck a D.... With that money i buy 400w from alibaba samsung diodes 6 bars no customs no hassle Even Spiderfarmer better prices So UsA brothers got more money and got better prices! Bahhhhh

[@E_-_-]

That will happen when you, like all other Europeans, will finally vote & act to bring manufacturing back to your country instead of selling out the future for a quick buck. Here's the supply chain for LEDs: China → USA → rest of the world

[@MrDizzy19]

This good for flower?

[@frankkrumnow7194]

I would rather get 4 of these for a 4x4 then a big light. More flexibility for early growth (shut down a few lights) and possible different hanging heights in later stages. Or maybe get only 3 of them to have room for big tower ventilator in one corner. Hope politics gets it done this year and the light drops a bit from 200€ price atm.

[@tonywharton5220]

Believe me, acrylic doesn't affect anything as far as I'm aware. I have the Daylight Maxibright 200 with absolutely no problems at all for well over a year. This new light has everything including an affordable hobby price. Thanks for the review ✌️

[@JakeCannabisco]

This lil light can definitely throw off enough light to use in a 3×3 respectively let alone a 2×2. The lenses really help uniformity. I have 2 of these & a migro array 4 in a 4×4. In the middle separating the led lights I have A 90watt 660nm led bar-light, a rapidled 730nm puck , 2 T5HO bar light setup with agromax pure par veg uv & uva+, last 2-3 weeks I swap out the pure par veg bulb for the AgroMax Pure Uvb bulb. It's like growing terps on glass 😂🎉💣💨 every spectrum from 285nm-730nm in correct ratio.. grown holistically in amended ROLS with biofertilizers & biostimulants with organic/veganic topdressings & compost teas. Mixed in with the right PGRP / microbial strains 2 weeks in advance ❤ = taking it to a whole new level.. I've grown different hydro, coco & soil-less media runs & since I went DeepOrganics style I'll never switch back. The yields, flavors, scents, terp profiles , thc & cannabinoid levels are mind blowing 🤯 I can't believe I wasted 10yrs on hydro.

Can you remove the driver to help with rent heat?

[@EXTREMERC416]

As of february 2024. Warranty is now really 90 days free labour shipping and replacement parts then to a year its free but u pay shipping. And then from first to second year, only labour is covered nothing more. The xs1500pro no longe ruse samsung LM281 but “new SMD technology” all the reviews are from the first production run who use the LM281. But i compared the xs1500 to the pro version with my photone app the pro is a lot more powereful, efficient and better spread. But very dissapointing a company like viparspectra to do this. Testers get the lm281 diodes some got them with meanwell drivers then they switch to no name leds.

[@pardonmedoug886]

Do you know the brand of driver on the XS Pro? The LEDs are San'an.They seem to have a large presence in the LED industry, mostly in China. I was ready to buy two XS 2500's from their ebay store for $150 each. Asked them about the LEDs as they just list new SMD chips. They told me they were San'an LEDs. In your opinion do you think the XS 2500 Pro is still a decent buy at $150? I only run once a year with autos, so about 3 months in a 4x4 so they wouldn't be getting heavy use. Torn between one MIGRO aray 4 or 2 XS 2500's for slightly more money. Not looking to spend over $500 for two MIGROs.

[@carmelo474]

Hi ... How much kelvin have this Light? I search a good Light for my Habanero Seedling. I have a Spiderfarmer Sf 1000 .. An the plants not Grow.. 😞

[@sniklefritzgrows]

I’m covering a 4x3 for all my peppers for spring with the old xs1500. Some are a little stretchy on the edges but not bad for 150 watts for sure.

[@89turbomk3]

your over stretching the lights capability

[@sniklefritzgrows]

@@89turbomk3 lol don’t believe everything you read on the internet. Plenty of people vegging tables with 200 watts. So for pepper and tomato seedlings it covers that no problem. I don’t care about all the science about it I just care that all the plants are green and healthy.

[@89turbomk3]

@@sniklefritzgrows i actually misread your comment, your growing peppers now that makes sense

[@sniklefritzgrows]

@@89turbomk3 yeah they can get away with a little less but even in veg with my weed plants I can cover the 4x2 with it but I also don’t like the really squatty plants you get with too strong of led and I personally prefer a little more spacing until I get closer to flower but it depends on the height you have to work with too.

[@BurninSven1]

Did you ever try out the Bonzai Hero ledpanels? If not check them out

[@matthewf9909]

What happened to the spot on par meter?

[@itmaslanka]

Been thinking of replacing a 200 watt COB which doesn’t really throw out enough light for my 2x2” tent. . Along side I have a 205watt Optic 2 which is great but I believe is not good enough by its own ! 405 watts total but weak on he edges . Would this Or could this work with my 205 watt Optic 2 or is it too much light ! Got 12.5 ozs last run !

[@andrewmarsh4559]

Don't sell yourself short though, the Migro 2 is hitting great numbers at 25 less watts and at a lower height to the plants. So if the tent or closet is short the Migro 2 is going to beat the xs1500 pro.

[@dmo848]

Need to know how hot each light gets. No one talks about that enough. I don't want heat

Just purchased 1 of these for my 2x2 because it’s price for quality is hard to match, for 99 bucks on Amazon i had to grab it.

I was going to get two of these for my 2x3 or should I just go with the ac s33 and run at 80%

Please, can you testing all your light with 80% , 60% , 40% dimming whats the best cm / ppfd from the light to the highest canopy? Greetings

[@ozzybloke4830]

I run qb288 lm301b boards with the 8 far red leds at around 50% basically the equivalent of a hlg550 @ 240w with a lower hanging height of around 25-30cm and average 1.4g/w.

[@tshred563]

Thanks for your great reviews but now I have a dilemma. Buy 2 of these or an Array 4 for my upcoming 2 x 4 tent? Is the XS1500 driver detachable? I assume not.

Wider units are always better. Migro ofc.!

As with all lights, heat is a concern. In an enclosed space, the heat buildup is tremendous. Please address this issue no one talks about. Thank you.
