I have a ts1000 for a small space, it works well. My first led outside of blurples.
A friend runs a ts3000 and it rocks his space.
I cant justify the price for the new LEDs with my cheap electricity prices. Will be on HID for my main source for quite sometime.
I see the hate is justified for some peoples past experience. But I will say that these lights give people something that has been missing, a low cost entry point into using LEDs that is effective.
The best no, but for upfront capital it is at least affordable to the masses.

Their new generation stuff is light years better than their prior generations. OG had run some tests about a year ago on one of their newer fixtures. The measured results look pretty good and in-line with expectations at a relative discount price wise. … and they seem to be making iterative improvements.
Though, they apparently continue to have trouble revising their marketing tactics, the difference between truth/lies/manipulation, customer service, and the so-called ‘warranty’ terms. That stuff, along with past experience folk have had with the blurples, is still dragging their name down through the community.

mine have been burning for 3 years in the veg room. No 730nm light, but other than that they grow plants! I know people who have had LED arrays burn after a year, so I figure I’m doing pretty good

Last month AlboPepper did a good comparison on YouTube of Spider Farmer, Maxisun & Mars Hydro. He seems to present valid issues against Mars, and endorses the Maxisun as I remember.
