Just to say if you get a tubular heater they have no thermostat on them. You can get thermostat plugs on Amazon that you set your temperature and plug your heater into it.

snow came..u were right...and also receipt from fedex to pay a international priority vat + administration fee for 34euro..and i thought the postage was paid in full..

34 quid isnt too bad dude, customs can surprise you sometimes but they obviously dont know much about LED prices at the moment....thankfully..:smokebuds:

 

[myrek]

yeah..thankfully the parcel wasn't even opened..but 34 euro from declared price of lamp which was $52.67 with weight of 9.5kg is still a lot..wonder how much that would b with real price which was $406.23

Has anyone tried this light here or this seller? 2 of these in a 4x4x6 ? Money is here now time to buy the parts http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Power-...551?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4164c23d6f

Hey mate,I wouldn't buy those.for a start there old LEDs,all the newest ones run modular clusters,which allows easy repair and are upgradable,they have better heat sinks and are overall better panels.if you read back through this thread you will find manufacturers that members have bought from,it's advisable to stick to tried and tested when spending alot of cash.or buy from a proper company like grownorthern mate.:group:

yea you are right ...still trying to save a buck ..i guess when you get into led and you look at hps prices its just a hard pill to swallow..but i contacted GN and for 2 lights would cost me over 700 with hidden taxes and shipping .Really i just need enough light and tent to flower 4 autos. BTW love your icon BIG

 

[Red eyed c]

Yeah man when comparing the start up prices of led v hps,it is a big difference.but it's a long term investment and the saving comes back in less electricity and not having to replace bulbs.if your in the usa you could check out gotham mate.you will avoid any import taxes http://www.gothamhydroponics.com/fe...blackstar-chrome-405w-led-grow-light-fsf.html its worth giving them a call bud for a quote :group: or look to a reputable Chinese company listed in this thread bro.
