Nanolux Or Gavita

[LEDSMOKE]

Just went to the hydro store the other day and got him to call the Gavita rep.
Anyways he told me also to look into nanoluxs since they are horizontal vs vertical.

Anyone have any input on which is better or if they are generally the same.

Gavitas are better as far as reliability. The Nanos shouND cool but are known to burn out

I've got 1 of each and the gavita is Def better quality.

 

[LEDSMOKE]

Does the gavita run colder and do you think it makes a big difference of it being vertical vs horizontal

@Billyboat runs a bunch of nanos
Perhaps he'll chime in for you
It sure looks like he's killing it with nanos from where I'm sitting
The price point is nice also ;)

Texas kid reccomended me to nanos as well.

The Gavita guys are just butt hurt because they all overpaid :D

Really the return rate is higher with Gavita than Nanolux right now...all of the big three are having returns but with the Nanolux's I am getting maybe one return per 100 fixtures and I have the replacement within an hour or so...I know of a Gavita install that had 30+ returns out of 150 fixtures but that was probably isolated. I have about 100 gavitas, 80 Epaps, and about 60 Nanolux's...in the future I will be ordering more Nanolux's because of the features, customer support, and the price point

Nanos are less cost for sure. I got a 600 de for like 325.

 

[LEDSMOKE]

Now since nano doesn't have a 750 could I run the 1000 and dimm in down. Would it be as efficient as the gavita 750?

 

[LEDSMOKE]

If it runs just as efficient dimmed I'll grab a nano

Nanolux does have a 600/750 de, don't get a 1k and try to dim it. Your light spectrum changes for the bad..

 

[LEDSMOKE]

Juicey. Howed you like you nano side by side with the gavita? Also does it have a 120 volt plug?

 

[juicey]

The nano is only a 600 that has a "super lux" setting so it's not bridging the gap to a 1000w like the gavita which can be boosted to 825w. I've only had the nano a few days so I can't say which is better as of yet. The ballast on the nano is smaller but for some reason the gavita seems to be made better. I think the nano comes in 120v but mine is 240v. Also, my nano came with a broken part and I had to go back to my shop and swap it out. IMO if money isn't a concern, go with gavita.

Nanolux all day. I could go on and on about why. If Billyboat and TK are recommending them I don't think I even need to explain though.

 

[LEDSMOKE]

Thanks everyone for your replies. Gonna call the store owner and cancel the gavita.
gonna grab the 600/750 De.

awesome thread. was looking at the nano and gavita the other day trying to figure out the best bang for the $$

 

[DirtySanchez]

I posted this response in another thread but thought it also belonged here:

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.

Either way you're getting a solid de fixture. Happy farming!

@lollipopman
where have you seen the 750 nano De?
