Why are you using the older, more expensive framework to compare the best deal on lights from different websites?
400w Vero 29 Timber = $579(1.45$/w)
or
Amare SP400(Pro4): $895($2.23/w) with RIU -25% pricing: $671.25($1.67/w)
If you're one of the few people who are aware of the hidden 25% discount from Amare, congratulations, you still haven't gotten the best deal for your money.

That 20 cents means shit to me or to most others who want what they want. It nearly shows Amare is not the most expensive, offers more then other chassis cob lights, & is in the price range of Timber while costing more to produce. So, you can't say they don't offer very fair pricing for what they are.
Hidden discount? It was plastered all overthr bill-boards here & well talked about for 2 years prior. Especially the last year.
25% is just a touch of what they offer.
Prices were compared to what was available for info.
Again, splitting hairs.
Every person here jerked off to CXB-3590's just 2 months ago. N now they made a cob slightly more efficient (if that) n cheaper by a few bucks. ADuhh! Isn't that what technologies about.
Funny part is, many of those who built w/ 3590's, creaming their pants, now feel they need to upgrade when they planned on having them for years to come. All over minor shit. Again, redic.
Maybe he's waiting On the new Cree, maybe he's using Veros on his new builds.
Who knows. Well I know a little but you'll all see soon enough.
The Timber 300w CXB-3590 is $589.
$1.96/w.
Seeing how we should be comparing CXB to CXB until the new model comes out in all fairness.
Amare Pro-4 using 3590's & Ex-G3 & E2 monos.
$1.67/w & just about equally as efficient. Add in the reflectors & option to contain phitons to only the canopy via lens, up to 40% more efficient at keeping all the light on the canopy if so chose.
Again I will say, both are top-choices I'd imagine. I've never held a Timber to compare. For all I know, there could be a wire mess, flimsy framework (not that I'm saying there is) just that I don't know just as many of you don't know about the Amare build quality, how well they perform or even much of anything apparently, but only through selective hearing as its all been stated repeatedly. Even direct quotes via e-mails. But still some choose to ignore the facts & post false speculations of what they think is wrong w/ a light only to be wrong most times & post false info so to try and shine w/ their recommendation.
The LEDs/cobs used in all Amare fixtures were of the very best & first utilized by a cob light comp. And are still considered amongst the best to this day.
Now, we'll see what's next.
I am willing to betchu anything, they're onto of it.
Id love to do a direct side by side.
I'm only presenting the facts here & think both companies have something special to offer. It's preference.
