No I don't use my XLM 150 anymore, It's tore apart with a bad driver and burnt out diodes after 5 years of limited use.

In my opinion there are better lights out there for the money.

No call but E-mail back and forth a couple of times. Then when I said I would like to upgrade the Cree XLM diodes to the new XLM2 chips for a 30% increase in output, the last message he sent me said his RMA printer was down and he'd get back with me when fixed and I haven't heard a word from him since. That was last year. So as far as I'm concerned I will never do business with that company again.

And $650 got me 750 watts of strips.

Got 750W of drivers and 2kW of strips for that price. Quantum board like strips.

I tried to look for more info and it looks like they recommend the 28" height.
As I said before I purchased one of their lights, but never again. But the bridgelux chips that they say are american are not.
