@Waira it was between the Sanlight Q6 and this HLG. I had struck up a conversation with the HLG rep, he is a fellow veteran come to find out, ( talked for about half hour) light originally $417.00, he asked if he gave me a "veterans" discount if that would help my decision. Said, sure would.
Showed up 3 days later for $300.
Cheers I'll be playing with height adjustments and dimmer. Tech has changed a lot in the last 7 or 8 years. Doesn't bode well for me, I'm not a tech guy much
LED's are fantastic, and you can get geeky on the tech & spec', but the practical side boils down to knowing they are more powerful that they appear. Just mind what distance recommendations are made, watch the leaves/tops for hints at light stress LED-style (usually edge curling, color fade)....
I'll have to look again, but the size I want might be the next step down, like one of those boards to cover the 4x2 core. I really like,..hell need separate lights to deal with the always present height variations bewteen plants! Being able to adjust is key and since mine is only 5'h vertical space is at a premium!
