Yeah I went hard! I do Day 1/21/42 usually but this round I did the first one a few days before flip and then nothing until the last few days except LST and supercropping. I don’t know that this round will need the day 42, they might just rock until day 70 or so when I’ll take off all the fan leaves

Yeah they’re great cheap lights, for the money 10/10 excellent, objectively about a 7/10? Very good light distribution for panels, older diodes (LM281B+ I believe)
I want to see how three compares to my RSpec 550 @ 500w in this tent that light is a beast but center hot

What size is the tent you want a replacement light for? These are best for a 2x2 flower 3x3 veg but I could recommend some other good deals for Canada’s market if you want
@Fortman420 heres the Canadian link for my light, see if DRMJCOCOPRO works as an extra discount code

I have a 3x3, 2x4, and 2x3. Lights I have presently is a Chinese 100w led. A decent little guy for seedlings, Mars Hydro sp250 for the 4x2 and in the 3x3, 2x240w quantum boards.
It’s been good for me just looking to fine tune the little tent

@Fortman420 This one is the next step up in diode and driver efficiency but no lenses so it’s more hot centered:

Forgot to post this last night because my friend came over with a bicycle wheel in need of rebuilding and then he took me out for a burrito as thanks. We got that thing purring like new after a total disassembly and rebuild without all the sticky seized organic grease someone put in there years ago, replaced all that with San Jose’s finest waterproof petroleum products, accept no substitutes!
These folks also make their own bearings, none better! Okay maybe SKF
I got off cards to the following OGs yesterday:

On the packing again today, got to keep it up until I run out of stamps

I’ve watched many reviews online about this Led board from Migro and others. For the price point it can’t be beat

That’s what I saw too and I figured if I scooped a couple on rock bottom sale (they go down to around $80 USD to my door) then either they’d be worth keeping or I’d just repurpose them as either houseplant supplemental lights or maybe even a shop light, one of these would light up my garage pretty damn good as a high light. But I like them so far in the tents, they seem perfect for a general all-purpose light. Or as supplements for a larger fixture on the edges even! I have had good luck using a single XS1500 Pro to veg a 3x4 tent. I don’t think I’d want to flower a 3x3 with one by itself unless it was a single big plant in which case probably perfect. I might try that next winter with a nice clone or a mom that’s gotten too tall.

I’m in the same boat just need to watch for a sale. I was talking with the hydro store the other day and they told me that the industry is starting to step away from odd dimensional tents like 3x3. I noticed this trend a while back as there isn’t alot of fixtures for this size so I may have to consider upgrading to a 4x4 soon to opening myself upto these larger fixtures. It has been on my mind but that size doesn’t really work for the space in my mechanical or spare room.
Hope your day is going well
