Well, I try to make it a practice to sell a light whenever I buy a new one so im not left with more lights than I have space for so my collection isnt as big as it appears. Sold my 180w extreme flower to get the kessil. Sold the kessil when I got the apache tech. Now im debating if I should keep or sell my 200w diamond...think I might just keep it
Ok, so details on the new light I just ordered, well preordered actually since it wont ship til closer to the end of the month. It's the Advanced LED Diamond Series XML. Newly redesigned model that is equiped with four 10w 2700k white cree xml chips spaced evenly between 4 grids of 3w r/g/b non-cree chips. The preorder unit is 150w actual power but they said they hope to have larger models in the next couple months too. I have a pic that was emailed to me but cant upload it from my phone at the moment. Also has new fans, drivers, heat sinks, air vents, etc.

leds are worse then I phones. every 6 months there is a new and improved version. i bought my advanced led diamond series about 6 months ago and i asked if there was any new models coming out and was told not for at least a year... right... leds are deffinately the wave of the future of growing but i wished there was one that could smoke my 1000 watt hps. to date i have used kessil, spectra, hydro grow, advanced, and i just started using a lumitex led set up. when i first started using leds 2 years ago i could get a 1/3 of what my 1000 watt hps could now i get 2/3. hopefuly soon leds will be so perfected it will rival the reputation of a 1000 watt hps at an affordable price.. viva la led revolution...
Yeah I know what you mean, with technology there's always going to be something better 6 months to a year down the road. Thats why I like to sell my old lights when I upgrade. I enjoy the latest cutting edge devices and dont mind upgrading if I dont feel like im getting ripped off. Ah looking for that mystical 1000w hps killer...I've heard reports of some doing the job but never anything substantial enough to make me believe it unquestionably. I do know that if you have enough quality led power you can accomplish this, but lets see it done with one panel. Vrry interested to hear about your current illumitex grow, can you share anything yet?

10 watt??? really wow, does cree even make a 10w(single diode?) xml chip.......i gotta check this out...........Their cooling management will be interesting to see, i mean true 5watters take massive heatsinks already..........gonna need allot of fans SUCKING out the airha
well I can tell you there is no saving in LEDs if you keep buying them at premium and reselling for half price! the saving is the fact that you dont have to spend more money for 10 years, just gotta be patient! And if it's not enough, just add more light, dont take any out!! hehe just my take on it, I believe I got my FEROs at the right time, I am convinced they will do at least as good as the HIDs... It is addicting to shop for new lights but I will try to do with what I got now, ... maybe a few supplemental lights in time!! nothing is coming out!
my latest purchase were the new FERO adjustable light (that feature is very cool to me, you can move the clusters as to concentrate the light in the middle when the plants are smaller and spread it more towards the edge of your room later in flowering) 340W actual draw and I am waiting the Kessil 350 Magenta, looking forward to see how this combo will do.

It's only (4) 10w chips, the rest are 3w. When I get home I'll post the pic of the unit they emailed me. They were saying something about improved fans, air vents, and a dual heatsink. The original diamond series runs very cool so I expect this one will as well.

Great point about always upgrading and not saving. I wont be getting any more until next year probably. I definitely would have liked to save my older leds instead of selling them, but the mrs already gives me a tough enuff time with my hobby as it is, selling them is my only justification for getting new ones.
That adjust a cluster model iis pretty cool, hope it works out great for you. I like the fero leds, they look like quality lights.
