UFO LED advice

[dregs]

Hi everyone,
I am in the market for a new light for my tent. Someone on Reddit referred me to this forum because they remember a user on here had them and I might be able to find some information, unfortunately I can't find much in the search.
Does anyone know of anyone on here using similar lights or does anyone have any experience with lights like these.
I am currently growing in a 70x70cm tent and I am considering getting a 200w UFO or a 300w dimmable UFO and eventually upgrading my tent (likely 1 or 1.2m2).
I understand that these get hotspots in the middle and I thought I might be able to use it to my advantage as I am manifolding my plants to have eight main colas spaced around the pot. I am hoping this would allow greater penetration to the lower part of the plant in the middle.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dregs.

I feel like the UFO lights are kinda trash and it reflects in the fact i don't see anyone even using them, Tried them once in the early days of LED technology and it was shit.

Honestly if i was in your position i would get something like

Cheers for the response. I do have the sf1000d in there now which I am planning to repurpose for raising vegetables. I will have a look into the s33 though, I have heard good things about AC Infinity.

@Gazza mate, what brand is your light and how do you rate it. I can't find any information on the Cultiv8 light. You'd think they are trying to hide something.

Mine are pro grow ufo leds, getting on a bit now think they have newer models out now look the same but the light spectrum is a bit different.

It’s a versatile light for vegging out and supplemental lighting, I used 2 x 200w ufo’s in a 1m x 1m tent and got good results rock hard nugs plant was a seedsman strawberry banana grape.

I’d rate them a seven out of ten for reliability performance and price.
