The newest A51 is on the verge of release. It will use Vero 29 v2 COBs. Driven at 2.15a, cooled to 30°C, driver efficiency at 90%. Total power consumption should be 90w-ish, per COB.

I must have missed that bus, my apologies. Could you take a minute and review the specs? Is it a single light, a new line of lights, a modular custom order light? Components? Features? Or just point me to where I can find this info, if its not too much trouble. Thanks.

There will possibly be some special edition models (separate from the CXB version). We're looking at ways to keep the classic RW spectrum alive possibly (using the Cree XTE S4 bin and XPE2 P4 bin), looking at some other things too... Options, options, options....

My point in the other thread was not everyone spends hours reading through page after page on these posts. Maybe a little teaser right on your company home page?

Sounds good.

A modular approach with individual units that can be attached to a rack system -- allowing the end user to space them to meet their needs, and expand or contract the system as their needs change -- would provide some awesome flexibility. It would also mean that as the users space grows, they can simply buy more components and add them to their existing system incrementally.

I'm pretty new to this so I will assume that if that was a good (or universally appealing idea) that someone out there is working on it or would have done it already. In my little world, that's what I would build if I were building my own, but I'm not, so I'm still hoping someone out there builds if for me. Just throwing it out there...

I look forward to seeing what you've got when they hit the market.

I'm sure something will form in the coming months, once more is revealed and units are purchased.

It really depends on what you're after and what kind of grow configuration you have to work with; I'm here to give growers something they haven't had commercially available before, something a little more American.

It's important for us, as consumers, to have multiple, legitimate options when it comes to the lighting game and I know the Model-V to be as one such option.

Keep advertising all over the a51 thread and all the others. Reel respectful there dude. I'm sure the mods love it too.
Not a very American advertising strategy FYI

XPG2 S4 is even better yet. Been looking through data sheets most of today.

The XTE S4 @ 700mA is 149.7 lumens per watt.

The XPG2 S4 @ 700mA is 159.8 lumens per watt.

Would be pretty sweet if this was available as an upgrade option for the older models like the sgs.

If freedom ain't American, I no longer know what American means.

But I see where you're coming from and won't blatantly 'put it out there' unless someone else DOES mention Heaven Bright or it's fixtures, as already done before in this thread. O and I might throw a few photos and videos up in All Thing Vero in the coming week, in order to showcase Heaven Bright's Vero-infused fixtures. If that fluffs your feathers and breaks your beak, tough shit.

On a side note, I can't wait to see what A51's been brewing over the past months! It's gotta be decent! Don't let us down, Jeff! We've all been patiently awaiting! Thank you for setting the standard!
