1. Will those models replace the existing three W90 models? Or, be additional choices?

2. Is the frequent (and long) out-of-stock condition due to demand, or is there a supplier problem?​

I always like to refer people to A51. But, it's kind of hard lately because of no stock. I'm curious if they're *that* popular, or a problem in the background which will improve?

I think the w90 will come back in stock at some point but it seems they have moved on to new models.

As far as I know it was a supplier problem but things are on the way in a few weeks my guess early feb- late feb.
 
New offerings on the site. Thoughts?

Does this "660 PPFD (24" x 24")" basically mean you get a 2x2 footprint of light that would match up to a 600 hps?

They running those at 1/4th the wattage they should be, unit only covers a 2x2 area with 100 watts of power, extremely over priced considering the vero unit is 175$ and covers the same area.

Up to 32"x32"

Cooling: Large Finned Aluminum Heat Sink + (1) 120mm 73cfm/10dba ball bearing fan.

The included reflector is designed to catch the stray beams, rather than correct the entire beam angle. It corrects approximately 10% of the entire beam and is also 90% + reflective, meaning our reflectors are 99% efficient.

Daisy Chain up to 16 Units: You should check to see what the maximum load is on your circuit breaker before connecting too many units. You do not need a special cord to daisy chain. The 1st unit plugs into the 2nd unit, 2nd into the 3rd etc... then the last unit plugs into the wall.

Our grow lights will operate on any voltage from 100v-240v. You do not need any special drivers or cords to run on different voltages.

That's cool, but I want big huge buds, and I don't think 100 watts gonna do that, I would have to say these lights are not for commercial or larger scale operations, looks to me this is a light for a grow closet at best.
 
When will an LED maker realize, the majority of us legal growers are moving up in scale not down, we are getting BIGGER more POWERFUL lights, aka 1kw DE lights, these closet lights are so over priced...who is going to blindly waste money like that, I could put that money into better things, I just don't see it.

He's copying one of my fixtures lol. Build a 100 watt 4 X 3070 fixture last year. Cost $150 to build. 4 X 3070 at 720mA.

See 150-200 dollars is completely reasonable for a light of that quality. I would totally for a light at that price point. That's what these lights should cost, they are relatively cheap to build....so much mark up...
