The two I currently have (still contemplating my 90 day return option on one of them...) were purchased a couple of months apart, and there are design changes between them. For instance, the connection points for hanging were moved from the top/lid of the box to the chasis, so there is less pressure on the lid closure because the weight of the unit is not resting on it... small change but big improvement. They also upgraded (in my opinion) the wiring harness on the electrical cord. Small stuff, but obvious they haven't stopped working on it -- which overall I think is a good thing.I am sure all the gen2 fixtures will be adjusted
This might deserve its own thread?Fair review of the HeavenBright fixtures?
Garbage! and that's were everything ended up.Except the chassis! I can get my $500 worth out that!

Fastening emitters over "wups I f-ucked up" holes?
Its a Joke ,but I wasn't surprised when I see it.
Yeah it probably does.I am done with it though. Ive wasted enough time/$ on it.This might deserve its own thread?
The only problem Ive seen is spacing.The small stuff? I can live with.

why did you have to tear them down (the heavenbrights) ?Yeah it probably does.I am done with it though. Ive wasted enough time/$ on it.
I said from the beginning that I was gonna give an honest assessment,but didn't know I was gonna have to tear it down after a month.
A BIG LET DOWN!!
Underpowered no optics and after I did tear it down? Very poor build quality.why did you have to tear them down (the heavenbrights) ?
That's too bad about the unit, surprised to earn that the cobs were overheating. all the data I have seen from supra says the alpine 11 should have easily handled the vero18s.The overheated emitters is what made me tear it down though.

I saved the chassis /powercord but everything else was useless too me.
Theres no place my flower room for it.

If the emitters from a 186watt V6 looked the way they did? I could only imagine what the high power 700watt versions would look like in that time.
I really didn't want to give a harsh review ,but it is an honest one. They weren't even close to being ready for production.
Most people were bashing them before one was even sold. I wanted the heavenbright to be a winner,but in the end? It wasn't. I bet $500bucks and lost!
It was the contact emitter/sink. There was very little.That's too bad about the unit, surprised to earn that the cobs were overheating. all the data I have seen from supra says the alpine 11 should have easily handled the vero18s.
how did you realize they were overheating?
thank u for posting this.. it wasn't a few minutes I was on the forum, I made a post about buying a Vero 29 fixture from Optic Lighting that I had a reply in my inbox from someone at HeavensBright trying to sell me an LED light. Then I saw on another forum that the company was run by some guy eating pizza out of his moms basement.. now Idk anything about them.. but I just thought it was unprofessional tact to solicit on a cannabis forum to strangers.. must be desperate to drum up business.Fair review of the HeavenBright fixtures?

That's awesome. What temp did u get? I have a 500 coming from optic soon.3000K. I am not the type to lie about a fixture. I cant stand when a grower gets duped. I have never had a problem with AP and I said from the beginning that an honest review would be done. I just didn't think the fixture would do what did so early on?thank u for posting this.. it wasn't a few minutes I was on the forum, I made a post about buying a Vero 29 fixture from Optic Lighting that I had a reply in my inbox from someone at HeavensBright trying to sell me an LED light.

I really feel better now knowing that I ignored and disregarded that solicitation as spam.
My 500w Vero 29 from Optic Lighting (the $1000 model) just arrived the other day via UPS.. stoked!

well I did let you know in PM.. I don't wanna start any thread/forum drama.Can you let the community know who sent the messages to u?....Stop back and let us know how your making out with it, and if you have any questions? Just ask friend.
I know in all seriousness,its not funny! But it is!4000K
well I did let you know in PM.. I don't wanna start any thread/forum drama.
all I can say is that I will never ever buy anything from someone on a marijuana forum that is sent through my inbox.. lol.. I wouldn't imagine forking over $700 or $800 to a stranger on these forums is probably going to wise.
ahh now I see what the brownish square pattern is on the cob. apparently AP has no idea how to apply TIM.It was the contact emitter/sink. There was very little.
When the light was turned off I could see the emitters. Its not hard to see in the pics. Is it?
Supra says? Has supra seen these pics? Ask him what he thinks happened. 3out 6emitters .
You can throw data out the window if things are not done properly! I am very interested now in seeing someone use a 700watt version V6? It will be interesting to say the least.
I don't know the 3M had played a major factor,but the rim/burs made it happen. I don't think the sink was perfectly flat neither?ahh now I see what the brownish square pattern is on the cob. apparently AP has no idea how to apply TIM.
Booksmart vs field smart?He's been PM'ing new members and LED newbs from the start,couldn't stand the little twerp and he talked down to anyone who disagreed with him. Now it turns out he's incompetent too,karma is a bitch.
Motherfucker spammed me too, I am new, and on the LED threads, so, yeah. I cannot believe what a goddamn zoo LED sales is right now, if I was an HID guy I'd feel comfortable to just stick with that until the market becomes less volatile. I don't blame anyone for avoiding them, though DIY COBs are the shit. Most every LED grow light company out there is shit, with virtually no exception.He's been PM'ing new members and LED newbs from the start,couldn't stand the little twerp and he talked down to anyone who disagreed with him.
