2 year warranty?!?!?............................maybe they know something we don't knowI know its not led but being in this sub section of "other lighting" looks like hydrofarm jumped on the bandwagon and made a knock off lol http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hydrofarm-Induction-Grow-Light-400w-3100k-Flowering-Spectrum-2-Year-Warranty-/221402397928?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item338c9c7ce8
Hahaha maybe, but we all know they will just hijack an idea and make it there own , then slap a cheaper price on it lol.2 year warranty?!?!?............................maybe they know something we don't know
its hydrofarm. When have they ever slapped a cheaper price on anything. They don't always hijack ideas , they take over other companies too. Dun dun dun dunnnnn.Hahaha maybe, but we all know they will just hijack an idea and make it there own , then slap a cheaper price on it lol.
Looks like you'll be getting hydrofarm lights if you expand lol ...They do have some over average prices but their induction is 699 which is cheaper than indagro.(Not to say its the same bulb spectrum as I'm not sure)its hydrofarm. When have they ever slapped a cheaper price on anything. They don't always hijack ideas , they take over other companies too. Dun dun dun dunnnnn.
If I was to go the route of induction full blast i certainly wouldn't buy hydrofarm anyway, nor igrow, it would be the inda gro road with the warranty and reputation it has built but i just can't swallow the pontoon price. I would def use or make a separate led configuration. But with that said i could not find a pontoon at 695.its the 730 leds and the construction (boards) that causes the high price. The pontoons have a 5year warranty and the ig induction light has a 10 year warranty. The hydrofarm had a 2 year warranty. Its a difference of $96 at full price. The pontoon is $695. With everything its a buyers market...

Fair enough, I was mainly referring to the 40 watt> $700 ratio. I do realize its a specialty item and it very well may be a "get what you pay for" situation. I guess the best option would be looking into getting a few 420 par/pontoon combo units and crossing fingers for a discountQUALITY IRs are big bucks, so is designing a new item, like pontoons to fit one specific light

You hit it. They are labor intensive to build and designed specifically to work with the 420's. I was in SD where I watched the pontoons being built. It's all hand assembly, including the circuit boards that run the 730 nm diodes and charge the Li-ion battery packs which they also build there. The LED bases have to be aligned perfectly to the raw metal for passive cooling and the wires routed so you don't see them from the soldered surface. Even with a closeup look you can't tell any of this.It looks like the whole thing is powder coated to match the 420.QUALITY IRs are big bucks, so is designing a new item, like pontoons to fit one specific light
I would never spend any money on a light source with a 3000-5000 hr service life, especially for $1700. I wonder why all these new MH plasma companies are shying away from luxim modules??? price??? bad spd???IDK , it's weird why you wouldn't rather have a 30'000hr light engine instead.For all you plasma lovers

I saw these guys at the washington max yield show last month. They are a bay area company I believe. Super nice guys. No one was showing me pics or telling me how good herb under them is, but they are on the right track with the product. The only multi chip plasma. I would love to see one get used.
