Yeah, sorry mate! I read that, and that's crazy. And you never know who is going to have great customer service out there. Funny thing I bought this UV/IR supplemental LED off of Amazon, messaged the seller that I was missing an install clip/cable, something I could have installed without. The seller messages me that they will send out a completely free unit to me and that will have one extra mounting cable! I was blown away, cause I didn't even want to return my original purchase, and was never disgruntled with the seller. But the seller went above and beyond for some unknown chinese company and mailed me a free $50 bar, (MSRP on amazon $75 i think, but was on "sale").Thats me lol
Some comapnies will and do have amazing customer service. Mars hydro however, is not one of those companies. Ive never been a fan of daisy chain anything, it doesn't seem safe to me.Yeah, sorry mate!

What light brand are you using now that you are done with M-Hydro? Oh, I should note that I'm so glad I read your article, because I realized that I had a daisy chain surge protector!!! I had one going in another. I didn't have much load on the second one (4 oscillating fans), but i still changed my setup so that I was not daisy chaining. It's funny cause in my head with electrical fires I always imagined like 4 daisy chain extensions, but you guys are right, it can happen with just one daisy chain. Better safe than sorry. And I'm glad you caught it before and fire damage to your house and family!!

my cheap lights have daisy chaining for the power(standard female socket on one end, and the male on the other) as well as the dimmer(RJ-45), the power chaining seems common on cheap 100w boards. Manual says you can daisy chain the power up to some ridiculous amount of like 50 units. But you would have to be asking for it if you did more than 4 in my opinion.Most lights I've seen you are daisy chaining the dimmer controller (with like a phone/ethernet cable), not the power driver.
It's not like daisy chaining power strips or extension cords.
Man I love my HLG. 4x4 and a 600 rspec.respect. it's a awesome light and I use the attachable uv bar for Xtra feost!So, I will be in the market for a new light in the next couple months. The space I'm lighting is an ac infinity 3x3. What's everyones recommendations for an awesome light? Looking at the 400-600 dollar range.
I was looking at the hlg 300L rspec, photontek SQ300 pro, grower choice roi e420 (turned down), or maybe 2 Electric Sky 180 V3s.
Also open to any suggestions as i have a few months before I'll be making a purchase.
Let us know what you think of it. I looked long and hard at them but chose instead to add an other ROI - E720. I got a great deal on mine but it was still a big chunk of money. I'm interested in what you think.Well, with the awesome deal @PhlizonGrowLight is offering right now i just pulled the trigger on a PL-4500, with the code, PHTHCFARMER8 and their sale, it was $183.99 shipped to the door. Honestly, can't beat that for a 450 watt led light. It wont see over 75% power as its going in a 3x3 veg tent.
I will definitely let ya know what i think of it. I couldn't pass it up for the price, i think im going to get a photontek for my flower tent.Let us know what you think of it.

I actually think im going to get the T44 for my 4x4 when it finally comes out. Think ill need some supplemental lighting along with it but, what the hell do i know.
Grow sunglasses make it easy to work with plants and not lose sight.Pulled apart one of my burnt up mars hydro lights, took the good board and hung it from my inline fan as a work light. That phlizon PL-4500 is so damn bright i have to shut it off and turn the work light on to care for the ladies or im gonna go blind by 30... just gotta remember to shut it off every time.

I really needed mine when lights were lower, now I just keep my head pointed at my toes until I can get in there enough to use the plants as shade lolI have some, somewhere amongst this clutter i call a house. Lol
I'm trying to install 500W LED lights above the cannabis, but the temperature is a bit high, any suggestions?Can we use stadium lights as grow lights to help speed up plant growth like this article says? We can use such high power and super bright lighting to brighten the lawn.
