Thank you, I've seen the Advanced light, it's expensive, could you please recommend me some other affordable lights? thanks

I have four 230 watt output 'Dwarf Star' by Black Diamond. They are currently priced at $435 USD each,
I also run three 400 watt Black Dog lights at $1279 USD each.
And two Platinum P450 at 255 watts each and a P600 at 368.
The 960 watts of Dwarf Star equal the 1200 watts of Black Dog in yield.
The Dwarf Star costing $1.89 per watt versus $3.20 per watt for the Black Dog put the Dwarf Star on my list for another four units next winter.
I have found the units reliable, all nine brands tested except for HydroGrow have been reliable. Advanced XTE is on the good list but is priced up there with Black Dog. Platinum (P600, $1.79 USD per watt) is solid but had the least sumptuous yields of all units.
To get close to $1 per watt is going to need DIY skills. I do not have them so pay the price.
zachrockbadenof, I spent $84.00 to buy this junk on Amazon, now, I'm thinking to report them, it's so dangerous to use their lights! Besides, I don't want to use their light any more, so I won't spend time to argue with the customer service, you get what you paid for, it's a good lesson! I'll choose a better light to replace this junk
