My light is still better than yours. Amare wishes I worked for them lol. This Amare dick riding needs to stop. @Airwalker16 I know you are happy with the light but you are starting to annoy me with your post REAL talk.

Nuha, my light is better than yours. Nani-Nani-Boo-Boo.
Good see you posting again. You must be real busy providing real lights & real talk to real people that will really listen. Haha!
Maybe you should start your own led talk show.
I prefer real results though.
Your new light looks pretty bad-ass BTW!
Just not efficient as Amares though. lol!

1962 umol/s at 24"? With a max estimated PPFD of 1316 in a 4x4(being generous) it's a good light just not worth the $2000 price tag... You can make a better light for less that's more efficient.. Like mine for instance... 16 Cxb3590 4000k @ 1.4A 61%efficient.Nuha, my light is better than yours. Nani-Nani-Boo-Boo.

i said it before that he always has discounts going. I doubt you would get less than 10% but probably closer to 20%
This is less than 25 % of what I own and I'm still considering buying one. DIY will always be cheaper so your correct but if you want a real light in a frame it's gonna cost. Go check the prices on apace's price for the Cree LEDs

I'm quite happy with my DIY options currently, but yes I'm aware that there's a premium.. One I'm not willing to pay... But it is an option. I could build a good light for around $800-900 that I would use so I'm sure that others can do it for around $500-600.

What it boils down to is someone asks for suggestions, this guy says DIY, this guy says Plc and this guy says Amare. Everytime someone says Amare it turns into an argument. I'd much rather have the extra RWB LEDs added to the 6 3070's for the same price as the ones who don't have them. That's pretty simple. As for efficiency the 6 3070's exactly the same as other company's. The title inefficient comes from the pro series being driven harder. That's an option not the whole line. No one here has ever driven 3590's on a 2.8ma driver? Shit I have and they rock the fucking house. Not the most efficient way but it works. if I wanted to I could cut up every light sold but just because they are not for me doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them. You know you can DIY for less?

Is the amare UL listed and ip 67 compliance? And will this question start a new set of arguments lmfao
Fuddy duddy could prolly answer these and many more fire related questions about over driven leds and their ability to spontaneously combust hahahaha.

Ip67 with fans? Probably not so much lmao. Ip65 with fans. It can be done but hell still seems hardcore iffy to me.

If you are looking for a cheap option on LEDs I love my Viparspectra only used for veg so far but flower seems to be going great, I just bought two more due to how cheap they are at the moment.

Shit like this goes on and the intelligent people spend their time arguing. Bro what do you love about it besides the cost? It's junk. DIY is way cheaper than my recommendation ftw!If you are looking for a cheap option on LEDs I love my Viparspectra only used for veg so far but flower seems to be going great, I just bought two more due to how cheap they are at the moment.

BM9AGS needs them to supplement his DIY. He seems to think Fluence is the way but seeing how he knows so lil about led lights he doesn't realize that it's BML that makes the R+B Grow-Max spectrum.If you are looking for a cheap option on LEDs I love my Viparspectra only used for veg so far but flower seems to be going great, I just bought two more due to how cheap they are at the moment.

Fluence is just 2 different K temps w/ added 660.

I don't think you could make a similiar light for less & more efficient. From what I've heard from DIY experts, it's not easy, certainly not cheap & will look like a mess unless you put so much time into it, you'd have to count that time as labor cost.
Remember. It's not just cobs. They are made to mimic the sun on the Equetorial line. So, you're not just mixing K-Temps here. Check out the spectrum. The gaps provided by cobs are filled in, providing a true full spectrum.
From what I can see the plants respond bonkers. I'm willing to bet the THC & Terpen levels are higher then HPS or cobs.
Maybe I'll get the test done next run vs. plain cobs & we'll find out.

I simply posted a cheap option for LEDs.
What do I love about them? Yeah they are affordable, generate next to no heat, my plants have been growing vigorously, very simple to set up multiple units if more are needed IDK what else you want out of a light.
Nothing was argumentative in my post just I am satisfied with this affordable, simple, effective option.
Not everyone who wants LEDs wants to DIY and I am not the only one who loves these lights for growing cannabis many people do and review their experiences very highly for what these lights are.
IDK if you are trying to call me unintelligent, but seems to me people argue because of statements like that. DIY and buying a pre-built LED rig are two different worlds and you clearly have your opinion on which is better for your grow. Not everyone has your needs/skills so DIY isn't always the best option.

If you use a good light then I doubt you'll think they are any good for growing cannabis bud. Maybe it's just all you know? I recommend you save up a lil, buy a good light & compare your yields. After doing that, you might just be mad at Viper for ever selling those lights no matter how cheap they are.
Any light will effectively flower a plant. Seriously. A nightight you put in your hallway will flower a Pot plant if it's set to 12/12 homes.
