My apologies... I assumed you were competant enough to plug in 2 wires to a cob - but knock yourself out. Pay$150+ for assembly a monkey could do, i dont care - its your $. But youre wrong. Rapidled DOES sell lights that are all but put together. If plugging in a few wires is rocket science for you, though, I'll assemble it for only $75
Oh my bad, please show a link to their 600w Vero 29 build.
Dude honestly that's a bullshit response. Like seriously. Here's what happened once I bought my unassembled kit:
A single tear falls from my eye...
I don't know what that means. I'm saying I had a legitimate pain in the ass assembling mine. The measurements from the heat sinks were not 100% and measuring accuracy was near impossible. Going out and essentially talking down on others who don't want to assemble theirs unless they are "competent enough to assemble 2 wires" is misleading to say the least.
I must second that rapid led got better price , their canopy frame is top notch and only 20$ for the 20" and 23 for the 23"
Rapid led kit is more affordable and already pré drill the only things toi have To do is To plug the wire and screw and you good To go!! even my daughter could do it ,make me think im gonna make Her try on a single unit since she want a light for Her strawberry in the winter
The frame for the 600w 4'x4' is $190 extra. RapidLed costs more than Timber for the same wattage and it doesn't come assembled. Either way, rapidled and Timber both offer very affordable and competitive pricing and support. If you want one assembled then order from Timber.
RIGHT?! These guys had me thinking I was in the twilight zone... "timber is cheaper than rapidled"... What? "Rapid led light assembly requires a phd in mechanical engineering." What? Strange how something so obvious can still be debatable. People get TOUCHY about their lights. "I own them, so THESE are the best." Or, "I got my lights from such&so, so they are the best."
Exactly...I thought I'd make my own in an attempt to save $50-70 but in short that did not happen and it took me about 8 hours to complete the drilling alone. Lots of mistake holes in my fixture now.
Maybe you're just not good at math and that's fine. If you order a 600w kit from rapidled, add on the frame and reflectors and you end up paying more than the fully assembled 600w light from Timber. It's real simple math actually and instead of coming on here talking out your @!# about how Rapidled murders or blows the doors off Timber you should have taken the time to represent them with honesty.
Link it if you're so confident about this.
Go to timber, click on framework then vero 29. You'll see his prices.
You didn't add the cost of reflectors but I think people get the point even without it. I would have linked the pages earlier but I was on my cell phone in a broken down truck in the middle of nowhere.
Id rather pay ~$165 to gather the components for a 135watt (can hit up to ~159w) HLG qb288, or even buy a kit for $185 if stock is an issue. You could get ~540-600watts for ~$660 - and theyre SUPER easy to assemble. These boards are no joke. PERFECT for a tent set-up, they run very cool & can be lowered to within 12", depending on the strain & age of the plant. Youre getting 1400 par watts in the center of EACH light... that would be my #1 option. I honestly dont know how deeply they penetrate, so Im not 100% certain theyre the best bet for tall sativas, but for short plants & medium sized plants that are trained short, horizontal, I know for a fact that they KILL IT in ScrOG. Lolly-pop the bottom third on medium height plants - short plants that are properly pruned dont need it - all the bud will finish
