We appreciate your concern on the cost, but there's a lot of difference between building an standard light and a premium canna-specific HI-LED. There's a lot of time and resources invested into R/D, including testing specifically on cannabis for over 8 years before our HI-LEDs are made available. The premium components we use, including only top-bin COB's and monochromes from CREE are the finest and latest LED technology available. Others include UL listed Meanwell drivers, which deliver a more stable current and efficiency than standard drivers costing costing less than half. Our laser cut aluminum cases offers weight reduction, corrosion resistance and maximum heat dissipation that cost 25% over standard industry steel cases. Other value-added features included in our models, including a 5-year bumper to bumper warranty with free first year replacement on all models.
We are the first to adopt the industry leading CREE COB for grow light application, including the first enhanced COB and monochrome white spectrum with an exceptional CRI 95, which is even higher than CMH/LEC. Our COB fixtures feature our patented reflector lenses array with removable lenses deliver among the highest umol/watt available.
Is it possible to know your current set-up, including coverage dimensions, growing style, size of plants, etc. so that we can recommended the most efficient and cost-effective option for your requirement. Regarding the price, we will always try our best to make our technology affordable as possible for growers with special pricing and incentives. We're currently offering -20% special introductory pricing for all AFN members, including special journal pricing of -25% for those who are willing to do a review with our lights here.
