Just a quick post to let everyone know whats happening. At the moment there hasn't been too much change from our last post, we are still playing it by ear with the fabrication of certain tooling and components we require. Many UK and European factories are closed or under staffed as this is the main holiday period.
I thought I would also take this opportunity to post a little bit more info which should answer some of the questions we are getting quite frequently.
Will the lights be available in the US.?
Yes they will, we have designed them to pass UL, CE and ROHS compliance and they will accept a wide range of voltages including 120v AC. Barring some major international incident the lights will be available to buy and use in the US. It was a mistake not to produce the HS1 in a US compatible version from launch and we won't make that mistake again on any future products we launch.
Are the new lights going to use the same quality of components as the HS1?
Yes, in fact the quality for a lot of parts will actually be improved from the HS1. The fact that we are going to be alot more cost effective £/W or $/W than the HS1 is due to new developments in the design of the Holographic optics, thermal solution and new supply agreements where we are working direct with the manufacturers rather than through distributors. One thing I want to make clear on the new system is that it will not have any digital control features like the HS1. It is built as a plug and play on/off solution, no dimming, no spectral control, no bluetooth control. Smart digital feature like this are going to be on the HS2 which will again be a lower powered modular solution (60-75W per module) which we will launch at some point in 2017 along with the app based bluetooth control bridge for the HS1 (and HS2). The new systems that will launch this year are purpose and performance built as a tool for horticulture, no bells and no whistles needed.
What is the power consumption of the new system?
The first unit that we have decided to launch from this new line will be 250w LED power (approx 270w total power consumption including the driver) Depending on the success we may also launch a lower powered version and a high powered version. For Autos one 270w unit should be perfect for in and around a 1 meter squared area in most cases.

Thanks for the update!!

Sounds like an awesome unit! Really impressed it will be so much more efficient than the already Stella HS1! Do I remember you saying its IP65 rated. Meaning pretty much waterproof!
I'm pleased the HS series will still be going strong. Small lights are so versatile. Even a Bluetooth bridge for the HS1! Looks like an upgrade coming soon for the closet!
