I know you're selling some china rebrand stuff but what exactly did you call?................heliospectra, illumitex, valoya , lumigro, clw,bml/fluence,plant photonics, etc; i can go on,on&on has been producing EFFICIENT heavy mono based commercial fixtures for over 8yrs.
You don't get it, we played with it ALL in here, this isn't icmag, 420, grass, whatever............white phosphor fixed spec gives you that "shotgun method" it works on most strains and performs well enough due to efficacy. It's an easier transition from hid and forgiving on the eyes/pest& def& fungal diagnosis/work conditions! big pro. This is coming from someone who hit 2gpw with 100% mono Osram zelion, top of the line when it came out $800 for 125w, lol, shit was crazy. Not worth it when I saw legitimate growers getting close with cxa/cxb cobs under more favorable conditions yrs ago...
How about you pony up for a sphere test for a couple of hundred bucks on the "new" hgl board, I can give you light lab recs? if you can't beat an ancient se 400w hps bulb/mag ballast (+/- 18%, nicks sphere) then you can send them to a warehouse party to repurpose where they belong: ) If you don't believe in ppf/w,umol/j you shouldn't be here tbh, no offense......

I'm not, actually. But everyone has their own opinions. If Alibaba clones are so popular and easy to get like people say, where are all of them? I mean if I can get a Fluence spider for $200 on Alibaba, take my money now!
I posted this and the next day HLG releases all of their RGB stuff? That's what I felt like I called. ILuminar has RWG right now, and I'm standing here looking at it. It was a comment.
I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just seeing what the "sniper method" is all about.
I would be honored to run along side you in the GPW competition, sir.
I just might do that. Not in the cards right now, but I'm not saying no. If you would like to collaborate an effort to get the readings, I would be more than happy to assist any way I can.
I never said I don't believe in it. I know I don't know shit about the science behind LED lighting technology. I'm not going to pretend I do. I don't have all of the testing equipment at this time, and I'm sorry for that. What I am providing is documented grows from someone that doesn't have a degree from I'mRight.com, and I can read and comprehend information quite well. I was a mechanic. I'm fully aware of horsepower stickers and hype. When I zip open my tent. I'm not seeing go fast stickers and hype.

Actually man, I'll give you a light if you can show me where the current Amare COB or Bar8 fixture, HGL, or ILuminar lights are on Alibaba. Because I will totally turn baba into my new supplier if you can.

You are grownup enough to know it didn't take them one day to produce.
Keep it classy.

I use my products. If I think it is a piece of shit, I will say it is a piece of shit and remove it from my store. Any items that can be bought on Ailibaba, or another place out of China, I will remove from my store immediately. I'm not peddling trinkets here. I'm working with other companies as well. I'm really close to having an at home THC CBD tester available. Trying to figure out pricing.
See, I'm not here to get rich. I don't envision retiring on a private island somewhere. I offer things that I can offer. Free shipping. That's actually a biggie. Do you know how much it costs to ship a Bar-8? Or care? I don't care either, I mean it is what it is, right? It's $400-600 to ship that beast. Throw a discount or something on there and guess what? I'm taking a loss.
I'm providing a service. If you don't want the service, I'm not making anyone use it.
You wanna try it out? See what it's all about? I'm laid back, man.
I'm the guy sitting at a side table sipping on a drink watching TV, not really giving a crap what everyone at the bar is saying about stuff. If anyone wants to come over and sit down, light up a J and chill. I'm right here watching tv.

Sorry, guess I was at the side table.
I had no idea they were working on RGB. Why all the back and forth over white light vs. RGB then?
Because output is more important no one is against a white enhanced spectrum. The reason that added reds are used now is because they are more efficient than a few years ago and the white diodes are alot cheaper. Even with the significant price cut hgl made they still don't compete. hlg has a ton more output they provide value which is much more important than a theoretical couple percent difference. Hlg isn't even the cheapest you can get the same output for less if you don't need any ul certification.
Its not rgb they are working on they always make different supplemental strips for the diy guys. More companies should do the same

Other companies are.
I also plan on having plenty of DIY stuff. I'm a huge DIY guy myself, just not in making LED lights, but want to learn.
If there is anything anyone would like me to stock, or carry at a better price, please let me know and I will work on getting it.
