Anyone here use this light? I know it gets some hate on these forums, and, the info is apparently out there but I can't seem to find it. I'm still very new to the cannabis community so it's hard for me to understand all the history.
When I was researching lights I was honestly more interested in gavita, chilled, and hlg, but all were having inventory issues because of covid (I'm assuming). I ended up going with Optic because they were in the same price range as chilled and gavita and the specs are nuts.
Could I have gotten a cheaper light or built one myself? Absolutely. But, price wasn't really part of the equation for me. This thing is a fucking beast and I'm sure it will perform well for me, but, I'm still curious about the history with this company and the community. Some seem to think it's not even the same Optic and others say they're a trashy company. I've done some digging and can't seem to find much evidence good or bad. I will say that I was a little shocked that there were no instructions or manual with the light, especially for the price. I also thought the cord was to way too short, I had to buy an extension cord to get it outside the tent.
