Viparspectra P2000 LED grow light review | A good quality & efficient budget grow light

Blog post review: www.migrolight.com/blogs/grow...
The Viparspectra P2000 is an excellent small grow light for the money. The Viparspectra P series are a very nice design, great build quality, good efficiency and packed with lots of features such as on board dimming and coated LEDs for protection from dust and moisture.

Overview
The Viparspectra have moved on from making ‘blurple’ LED grow lights with this new P series. It is a very welcome change and I am happy to see no more of the noisy box fan LEDs emitting purple light. The Viparspectra P2000 is a 200watt LED grow light suitable for a 4ft x 2ft (120cm x 60cm) space. It has all the features you would want including:
High Efficiency
High quality LED driver by SOSEN
Full spectrum (grow from seed to harvest)
LEDs protected with a silicone coating
On board dimming from 5% to 100% output
Recommended Coverage: 4ft x 2ft (1.2m x 0.6m)
At 200 watts the P2000 is specified for a 4ft x 2ft or 1.2m x 0.6m grow area.
Features
The fixture is very high quality in construction, easy to setup and hang and has on board dimming
LEDs and Spectrum output
The Viparspectra uses cool white 5000K and warm white 3000K LEDs as well as 660nm reds and far red LEDs to deliver a balanced Full spectrum designed for full cycle growing from seed to harvest
MIGRO Test results
The power consumed at the wall was 197 watts and the average PAR of 547 µmols/m²/sec in a 4ft x 2ft (1.2m x 0.6m) grow area means the Viparspectra P2000 has a real world system efficiency of 2.00 µmols/watt (usable PPF/watt). A very good result for a grow light in this price range.

Thank you so much for your professionalism and good video, Shane. The video content is very detailed and the data is very accurate, including the introduction of the full spectrum and other accessories, the characteristics of the P2000, etc. We believe grower friends will find what they want to know from your video. We will continue to follow you. Your channel is really great！👍🏼Thank you again and wish you a happy life.

Nice Shane! Another great P series option in a 4X2? I run 3 P 1000's in mine during flower(2 for veg), it's perfect cause I have 3 plants so each one has it's own light. Plus the price for them is crazy low now (under $70 each).

[@susanrichards7358]

I found ihem to be excellent in a 3x4 foot tent. Low heat, great results.

[@fighting2succeed]

I've had this light for about 9 months now and it has been doing very well for me considering the price. I have used it in both a 2x4 and a 3x3, and judging by how that par map looks, it should have pretty good coverage in the 3x3 as well. I, and probably lots of other people, would love to see how most lights cover the non-recommended sized areas like using a 2x4 light in a 3x3 space and vice versa. I'd also be curious to see how this light would do in a 2.5x3.5 area, I'm guessing that would be this lights sweet spot for average par. Love all your content and keep up the great work Shane.

pretty much any light in a 4X2 is gonna run hot in a warm climate, it's a tight space with the tent zipped up.

I leave the bottom of my tent open and exhaust out the top. Also added an ac unit to the room. Im running a 4x4 so it might be a bit taller that your 4x2. Mine is just over 6' tall. I really need to exhaust out the window instead of the room. When the plants get big they put alot of moisture into the air and even the ac has trouble dealing with it.

I was thinking about building a board with 2 Samsung QB288 boards and a dimmable 240W Meanwell driver for a 60x60 room. I was wondering how the efficiency increases as the boards are dimmed, the idea was to run them at about 50% power to increase lifespan

Tnx. Shane✌🏻

[@GMCLabs]

Same light I have, I was hoping for a review from you. Had it over a year now, I love it. I also have the maxisun PB2000. I added a PC fan to both blow air across the top heatsink, adds hardly any noise or additional power draw and keeps it 20c cooler. Id like to actually see tests like that to see if modding lights like that will make them brighter. It should in theory.

[@awesomeguyat7771]

2 of the p1500 in a 2x4 is great I couldn’t imagine 2 of these lol

[@timturk1899]

We have 3 of The P-150's and I've always been impressed. Great heat sink, yet most boards were just Aluminum then! I noticed a great "trick" to provide more hanging height, like Shane mentions momentarily. The 2 holes on each side of the fixture from where the cable's should hang, seemed a similar size apart from each other, like older HID(HPS/MH), AC reflectors with the traditional "V" clip hangers? They worked great! With the still available, inexpensive "V" clips fitting perfectly. With 2 "V" clips you can actually hang the fixture from the top bars of the tent! This was a big advantage at the time! Fixtures are still running great today!!!👍

[@gregkramer5588]

I run 2 P1500s in a 4x2 also. It works great. Two of these P2000s in a 9 sqft 3x3 or the Mars 3.3 x 3.3 square ft would be a nice fit for these. Such a good price.

[@GMCLabs]

I jave the 2000 and a maxsisun PB2000 in a 4x4 and its definitely more than enough light to grow anything that will fit in the space, and with that much lights, it's hard to keep it all in the tent.

Thanks that's great and dandy and I'm aware the plants like the extra temps to a degree.. but I noticed my mars hydro run very noticeably hotter than say my spiderfarmer of the same wattage..

@@jackValentine189 If you have a fan on top of the driver it's not gonna be any hotter than the SF

@Stang Cobra yes but ideally the over all temps will be higher and have to be dealt with, and quite a bit higher when running 4 x 100w panels in a 5x5 of course someone can run fans with air all over making it near impossible to stabilize the humidity, where as you can omit the problem in the first place rather than having a rookie rig, the plants won't be happy in, you ever hear of windburn well it's real don't be a junior grower.

[@airesjd]

I have these lights. I do believe that you can easily flower with 1 light in a 4x4. Just make 2 sections. And keep both plants on side with one light until you get a second light. I recently bought p2000 on Amazon 153$ us dollars.

[@stangcobra592]

Not even close, 1 of these isn't enough for a 4X4 with a conventional amount of plants but for you positioning your 2 under it will be just fine.

[@bruceholinight7978]

Can't go wrong with most of LEDs out there now it's just a matter of cost !

[@tgitsmydad2156]

Well the p2000 will run you around $170 on the viparspectra website but if you get it from Amazon without the code you will pay about $150. But wait there is more the p2000 pales in comparison with the larger p2500 which is also available on Amazon for $170 so to put that in perspective you can get a much larger and better value light for the same price as the smaller p2000 on Amazon right now. Though I believe the code will only work on the viparspectra website. However you will save a ton of money buying it on Amazon and if you wanna get one even cheaper than that you can go to the viparspectra p2500 and look for new/used section and get one for $150. I have 3 p2500 and 1 p2000 models in my 7×4 grow room. Let me tell you there is nothing more valuable on the market today than these lights. In fact the reason why the endorsed migro to show this light and not the newest Xs series of lights viparspectra made after these. Is because he had already done a review for the Xs series and when he compared it to the pro series. He found that the older model pro series were better in every way. I would imagine in lue of this he was asked to remove that old video.
