Scroll to the bottom of each light to see the ppfd. That's really the only difference. Higher is better

This will be my very first grow guy's lol. The reason why I was hesitant in the timber lights was all the different things like 3500 k or what? The dimmer.. Or like tstick mentioned mixing up the lights. But with all the bullshit marketing from the other companies, I feel like those would be a waste of money

Wow.. I see that now. 880 for the citizens and 955 for the crees.... Is that a big difference? Is it a 250 worth difference? If you were recommending it for someone with it being in mind that I want this light to actually last......

I have all 3500k of the crees. Got them last summer and 3000k winter before. I'd ask Dan what he recommends and go with that.

Yeah I had a pretty long conversation with him today, he didn't try to push me into anything big or expensive. He actually gave me the diy option and I said no way lol.

I like the frame work. But if you wanna save a little go with the diy.....there's nothing diy about his kits just plug wires in to their color he has it all done for you. You can hang the lights with coat hangers or wire from the store. It's just too easy. But his framework kits are so clean and flawless.

Did you get the 3500s because you needed "bigger" or do you use one set for veg and the other for flower?

I'll be honest bro, I'm pretty mechanically inclined. I've been working on cars for over 20 years. I'm just really afraid with the electrical... My wife would kill me if I burned the house down lol what kind of enclosure or case are we talking about???

3500k because that was the flavor of the month back then. Mostly still is. You can mix and match but you see the results of 3500k. The 3000k were just all that was offered in my price range back in 2015. But both are perfectly fine. I'd get the veros tho. But the citi are crushing it for the price.

Ahh Home Depot has L channel aluminum. Just need drill to make holes and a rivit gun. So if you buy the gun and everything you'll spend maybe 30-40$ to make your own. Here's mine

OMG are you serious man? Is his stuff really plug and play?
Yes. Ships with everything to plug and play. Changing my headlight in my Mercedes is way harder than his lights. He did everything for you. You just have to unbox it stab the wires in there colors and hang it even with wires and you're good to go.
