Right, this is the non-DIY version. I would think a DIY'er should be confident in their skills to remove rivets.
A rivet is no big deal to take out, takes about 5 seconds with a drill and the right size bit.
Basically, it wasn't made to be taken apart and messed with, but if you know what you are doing, it can easily be done.
Anyone with an aluminum fishing boat knows how to easy it is to remove rivets lol

This will be a review and grow from box opening to chop on the:

HLG 550 V2 Rspec
UVA Bar

I am going to review this light, and put it up against some other manufacturers in a grow.
Please be respectful of this product and its review. Thank you.

My HLG 550v2 clone from Meijiu runs way hotter than 110F. I wonder if it’s cheaper diodes. The plants still seem to love the light.

Osram Osolon ran at 280ma or roughly 61% efficiency.
