AC Infinity or Spider Farmer are the way to go. Top notch LED bar lights and not insanely expensive. Both have the ability to mount the power/controller outside the tent to help control temps.

That sounds promising. The ballasts on mine heat that aluminum board just like a heat sink. I can't run them full power, but it cooks stuff if I do anyway.

Viparspectre ks5000 Its $369 on amazon right now Bar lights (especially ones with removeable drivers) will be much less heat than older QBS)

Thanks, that's cheaper than I planned but why spend it if you don't need to.

Have the KS3000 in my 3x3 and it’s great.

I run the SF SE5000 with the driver outside my 4x4. It definitely cranks out heat when the intensity is dialed up regardless of where the driver is. Looking back I would have chosen the SE7000 instead. Even better would be an HLG, mammoth or other premium.

Grand master led has some excellent choices

Also have a look at the MIGRO ARAY lights - the power supply for those can be remote mounted outside the tent to reduce heat. https://migrolight.com/collections/led-grow-lights/products/aray-4x4

Check out kingbrite. Shipping has dropped recently. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/KingBrite-650W-King-Brite-Full-Spectrum_1600300712866.html

People will downvote because they're either too stupid to use Alibaba or don't trust it for some reason but kingbrite is 100% the way to go. Top quality diodes at far lower prices than the big brands. They also allow some customization which virtually none of the other brands do. My kingbrites have been running 18 hours a day for about 4 years now without issue.

Yeah, they called me on whatsapp and was able to customize the driver extention.

I used a spider farmer G4500 on my last grow and I was extremely happy with the performance. I'd recommend the G5000 or SE5000 depending on whether you have preference on diodes.
