Hooga PRO300 vs Hooga HG300
The PRO300 is the stronger panel, but be realistic: independent testing measured it around 50 mW/cm² at 6 inches, not 109. Both are honest budget options; the PRO300 is worth the small premium for the dual-chip output.
The most common Hooga question. The HG300 uses single-chip LEDs rated over 73 mW/cm² at 6 inches; the PRO300 uses dual-chip LEDs rated over 109. Both are budget targeted panels with the same 3-year warranty.

FAQ
- Is the PRO300's 109 mW/cm² claim accurate?
- Independent testing measured about 50 mW/cm² at 6 inches, roughly half the claim, though both figures are stated at the same distance. Treat 50 as the realistic working value.
