I have looked into these lights the price is crazy for only 315 watt or 860 i believe ??? and most growers are not hitting big numbers?????
So a person has to ask them self is it really worth it then,,
I think IMO they fall under the category of Supplemental lighting like plasma etc with that said , By the time a person gets all what they need you might as well of spent A few hundred dollars more and got your self a plasma, which i think is closest to the sun any light on the market can be when looking at CRI ratings
Then warranty comes into factor i mean you can buy a complete kit but most mix n match well if something happened along the line i would think warranty would be void so then there goes all the money you spent
looking at the price will put you off a FERRARI pretty quickly until you look at what your getting( and i don't mean the hype) too!
look at the spectrum, research what real people are actually getting,out of them, look at the operating costs over the 3year life of the bulbs, and the quality produced.
hey most growers are not hitting big numbers? Running which setup? please keep it APPLES TO APPLES. BLI is not building CMH lights it is a different technology completely. you want more? How about lowering or eliminating your need for air conditioning? how about not needing a 9 foot or higher ceiling? How about getting what you pay for several times over during the life span of the bulb?
If that is not enough ammo to make you actually look at this as an alternative to the poor spectrum offered by most lights, that produce way more heat, that you have to manage or invest other dollars into managing,....and getting to replace your $100 plus bulbs twice a year to keep them optimal- over the three years your replacement bulb costs will give you a free light!
i guess i'll ask it this way, would you piece together a FERRARI, from available aftermarket parts and expect it to produce like the real thing?,.....if so 'ENZO wants to talk to you about buying a bridge he has.
