Folks, HLG Croptober 2021 is up and running. They haven't posted anything about it on their site, but you get 15% (no additional codes can be used) site wide.

From my FB messaging with them:

View attachment 4999838

...go at it...on my behalf, I can only say, "mischief managed."
It's not really "site-wide", as it doesn't work on refurbished units.

I told HLG how when I bought my Scorpion Diablo, opened it up and tried to hang it with the cables they included the cables weren’t even pressed and they just fell apart.
Luckily I was holding the light otherwise the 40 pound light would have fallen and crushed the 6 plants underneath it.
They apologized and gave me a 10% discount for my next purchase.
Well I went and bought a 350R and two uv units with the code and like a month later they did the 20% 4/20 sale.
Seems like a really sincere apology lol

there are multiple persistent 10% off codes that work on HLG's site. RIU10 and DIY10 are a couple

I've been thinking about switching all the outlets in my growroom to gfci. It should add a lil more protection I believe.
I don’t like em theyre finicky. We had a bad brown out around here this summer and all my equipment was fine. If you’re worried about equipment failure I wouldn’t. If your pushing your breakers hard and thinking they’ll help they’re just gonna pop constantly. Install a 2nd breaker. If you do install a gfci you only need one per breaker. Just replace the first outlet off the breaker and the ones past it will be protected

Good point. Now that you mention it, lights on a surge protector might not be a good idea either? My breakers aren't necessarily my worry, its more the wiring I worry about. My place was built in the mid 70s and I'm not sure about the quality. It would be extremely difficult for me to change out the wiring and seeing how my room is on a 15 Amp breaker, the wires are prolly not that great. :wall:

I agree. I actually cringe when I see one on a job where I have to plug equipment into. I did outdoor concerts at a new venue this past summer, and when they were installing the power the electrician wanted to know if I wanted gfi's on the 120v outlets or not. "NO, NO, NO, please no! Breakers are fine" was the answer.
