Well guys i ordered lights on the 26th and since then no feedback from vendor since . No response to emails or phone calls and im pissed . I contacted Hgl directly since Growerslight.com is a authorized vendor , and there looking into the matter.

Should have bought from China I had tracking every step of the way 5 days on the dot.
Its a piss off when people you should be able to trust treat your business with such contempt I feel for you brother.

Heh. You mean HLG.

Trust me, you do not want to get HLG (Horticulture Lighting Group) confused with HGL (Hydro Grow LED)!

Yes HLG thanks for the correction.
Edit: In a nutshell , there's nothing Hlg can do . Advised me that the 600h kit is on backorder and could be the reason order wasn't placed , which i kinda figured and withheld any criticism . Now the Good part ..... Hlg sold me a 600h that they keep in stock for warranties for the same price ..woo hoo . I also received email from. Growlights.com finally confirming backorder and will be shipped next week. So tomorrow it will be delivered, peace .

Im glad you went with HLG. They get the top bin diodes (best and most efficient led diodes). The mars hydro and alibaba leds might be cheaper but I can gaurantee you they dont have the most efficient diodes. HLG also provides par and ppfd numbers as well as sphere tests. You wont regret it.

Did you use HPS before?

 

[usda101]

Yup , 3-4 1k hps but haven't used them in a while , i been on the bench . I have another 600h on the way and another on backorder for January so i have taken the dive . No more heat issues in the summer im stoked i cant say enough about how bright it is.

You'll enjoy working with your plants a lot more now that they are in white light. At least I know I enjoy it more.

We are using the new Gavita LED. I must say it’s well worth the $1250 light + $150 dimmer + $50 plug. Other tents we have a platinum LED and then a 600w hps quantium. We need to switch all of our lights over to the gavita.
