I’m pretty sure Jeff can be found posting under his new account Positivity. His bad attitude and The Rock avatar gave it away. I guess France wasn’t as nice as advertised.
I’ve been using both for awhile now. Trying to decide if I have room for another light. The CLW COB’s caught my attention because of their unusual design and low price point. The Canon by Blacksail Marketing is looking pretty attractive as well.
I think you’re right about flyhigh using them. You’re also right about them being ridiculously overpriced at the time considering what they were/are. I’m glad to see the OP got them for a good price and they seem to still have some life left in them.
I remember that grow. All lined up in a single row against the wall of his attic. I’ll give him credit, his skill level with blurple leds was almost on par with mine, almost.
I use three Phantom CMH 315’s in my garden and they’ve worked out wonderfully. Remote ballasts are definitely the way to go if you want to keep temps down in your grow space.
