I have 3 of them running. They work great. Easy to set up. You will need a PC based computer, they are NOT compatible with macs.

Any particular questions?

I love mine
They recommend one per room but I currently run four rooms on one dtu ( data transfer unit ) and I'm seeing less of a spike in humidity with the sunset feature 100%~0% over an hour .

But then you lose the high temp and auto dimming feature.

I run one DTU per room.

Your right Billy, Craig the nano rep in my area is lacing me with three more dtu's and a bunch of new bulbs this month .im also beta testing their new color specific de's
One dtu per room is the correct way especially for the new control features ph, fans , cameras etc

No really, these people are going above and beyond to provide unparalled service. Gavita has pretty good staff too but Nanolux is literally in a league of its own.

I've heard of Nanolux reps personally driving replacements to customers within an hour of the initial call. I've personally returned Nanos and the tech has spent hours with us doing our layout plans. I've had emails returned literally within minutes of sending them. They're incredibly prompt in all aspects.

Being a 1200w light that gives out a higher intensity and the significantly lower price point make it a no brainer.

Love these guys.

I was wrong, all their products are ETL listed, good to go with inspectors.

Does the computer always need to be there after you set it up or can I control it from another location
