Just wanted to give a heads up, just purchased two 500w Blackstar and one 720w Blackstar Chrome and immediately after plugging them in the room smelled like burnt plastic and room temperature rose 15-20 degrees F

you should have seen one of mine, billowed smoke. I'm talking a fucking cloud. One reason I'll talk shit on blackstar is personal experience.
Good luck.

I have 3 blackstar panels and none have had any problems only problem I had was one had a broken bulb from shipping I sent back and was replaced with a fully working one. they even shipped the new light before I sent mine out as I was still able to use it for flowering.
