Timber Ain't Playin....Check This out

Hello @NewGrower2011

While we do not have an ETA yet, those details when available will be posted here and on our social media, as well as our website. The main reason that drivers are not typically offered remote mountable usually has to do with grounding of the frame (if it is metal), although there are other issues and costs associated with it depending upon designs.

Hope this helps.

Thanks much,
Dan

Hello @PSUAGRO.

Good to see you around - thanks for the kind words. As you know, dealing with OEMs is a long process but we finally got it to market.

Take care,
Dan

This thing looks amazing... what we think the price point is going to be? Just watched the bas product review looks sweet!

Curious why manufacturers aren't embracing the remote driver option?? For me that's something that would stand out in my decision making. I mean even if I didn't want it in a current setup, having the option is super for future considerations. Anyone with heat management challenges would appreciate the option I'd suspect. Is there some technical reason why it's not becoming a standard? I could see a very small increase in cost and manufacturing as you'd have some type of connector in there. You'd also be able to upsell the extension cables, etc.

I moved my drivers for my timber cob light out of my room with cables I bought from Timber. Easy plug n play. I've got to believe Timber will do the same for any of their lights.

Hello @ChrispyCritter and @NewGrower2011

You are correct - all of our lights currently are built with remote drivers as an option. It requires repositioning the dimmer and the drivers with the addition of (4) extension cords, one per driver, in the case of the Magnolia 4.

Thanks much

Finally, the Timber Magnolia 4 has arrived!

Some other info that I was able to track down

We all have our light preferences. But, objectively speaking, this is a mighty fine growing appliance

Anyone get there's yet?

Just got my new Magnolia. It's a very impressive light and I'm looking to some great results with it. I'm going to use it on my next grow instead of my Fatty and see how it goes.
As usual from Timber, the build quality is outstanding. The heat management system is pretty simple but should be highly effective in dispersing heat evenly and preventing drivers and boards from overheating. The boards are mounted to heavy duty extruded aluminum plates that have added ribbing on the backside to better absorb heat. Those are then mounted to aluminum rails to further absorb heat. So, the whole frame is basically a heat sink. Given the efficiency of the boards and the heat management, the light generated should approach that of a Fatty.
Another aspect of these lights is the fact that Timber worked with Samsung to produce these boards. They were designed by Samsung for cultivation. The far-red diodes are Samsung too and are top bin diodes. There's no diode quality roulette with these boards. No counterfeits or B quality diodes.
Having individual drivers for each board is great failsafe insurance should a driver crap out. The fixture will continue to run on the remaining drivers.
Overall, while I'm biased, these lights can compete with anything on the market. The price, build quality and board integrity are second to none. In my view, Timber has just set the bar pretty high for board-based lighting fixtures. IMO, these blow HLG's out of the water.
