Yup, that’s why I didn’t buy an hlg….but honestly, I’m glad I went with the light I did. I like the spread of the bar style lights, versus the boards hlg uses….. I like the performance of the plants under them. The plants are growing more like they would outside…..little bit stretchy, but seem to be getting good light to the lowers. Full DLI is about 85-90% power…..so it’s under driven just a little, which oughta make it last.
Although you couldn’t go wrong with the ac infinity, from what I hear. I’ve never used them, but also not heard any complaints.
