They sent a complete fixture, a thousand watt DE lamp, and the remote lighting controller!
Now I gotta read the manual so I can figure out how to work this thing!
First impressions: solid piece of kit you've got here, Greg.
The one piece ballast and fixture is well engineered and features lots of integrated cooling fins for the ballast and plenty of venting for the fixture. Looks to be a replaceable reflector.
Starting from the right, there's the 120/240V outlet, an RJ12 comms port, the dimming button, and indicators for 115%, 100%, 75%, 60% and off. On top there are four eyelets for hanging the unit.
A quick flip through the included instructions for the remote lighting controller shows that it can be connected with several units grouped into two zones, each timed independently- AND there are two included temperature probes for the over temp dimming and shut off feature! It also has sunrise and sunset settings and built in hot start delay with several options for duration for both.
I'm sure I've missed something, so give me a chance to read things more carefully and I'll be back in a few days with a better workup of what she's capable of.
I'm sooooooooo stoked!

You know what? It is! It's clear they've gone to some trouble to make an aesthetically pleasing piece of equipment with rolled edges, rounded sides, ABS ends and a chunky heat sink all integrated into the unit.
If it works as well as it looks, Gavita is in trouble!

Thank you, Sir.
Turns, lol... I usually just pointed the tips at the lodge and went straight down some of the steepest groomer blues I could find on my 'boards, doing 70mph plus on skis less than three feet long. YEAH!
Do this in my honor; find some trees, ski in there and burn one for me, the higher up the mountain, the better. Then, enjoy the view, maybe even take a pic before dropping in on your favorite terrain and pushing until your thighs burn.
You're inspiring me to get a Super Pass for next season, I gotta get some more time in before I get too old to enjoy it!

Have fun with it! You literally got one of the first round ever made and before it was even available to buy!

That's where it came from, in just two days.
And I'm not kidding, it has to be the prettiest grow light I've ever seen.

I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces and then seeing how it runs an 860W Allstart.
Thanks again, guys!

My hobby is spending all my money repairing vehicles, apparently. What a shit week.
I'm a gear whore too, though, mostly in other hobbies...fly fishing, music production, yeesh.
I'd really like to have that Rev Micro system. Looks badass, I keep going to their site and daydreaming about it.

With the rounded sides, it looks like a pod for Elon Musk's Hyperloop tubes.
Dial it up to full speed, Cap'n!

To be fair, she's expensive, but I still love the shit out of this little car (stock photo)
I got to buy new truck tires AND a new set for her last week.

Twin turbo, all wheel drive, 6-speed manual, super fun. The woman drives it 90% of the time, but I'm the only one who really drives it.
She mostly wears out the clutch and runs over sprinkler heads backing out of the driveway. Hence the tires. (I love you babe, I really do)I wonder if I should just drive my ass out to Fort Collins in this rig, like, tonight?

I'd have lots of interesting toys to show you, and if you play your cards right you'd probably get to smoke some weed for your trouble.Twin turbo, all wheel drive, 6-speed manual, super fun. The woman drives it 90% of the time, but I'm the only one who really drives it.

Cuz I'm a nice guy like that. If you were here by Saturday, I'd even invite you to my party!
