Given your previous comment “ i don’t claim to...”, i certainly know more about this than you.
Did HLG Just Kill Timber’s Quantum Board Business?

Yeah, they just brought out their new line of business in august, with great product that kicked hlg’s ass for 2/3 the price, and all of a sudden, guess what...they’re focusing on their old business.
And, some people get pretty fucking defensive about mention of it.
Nothin to see, move it along...lol

Their prices are not 2/3 of HLG lol they are the same or higher. The only thing that would be cheaper is their 48SAM which is compatible to the HLG 600 from GrowersLight.

Oh i am mistaken....
I have two 48sams, bought directly from timber, were $671 each, not really comparable to the lower quality flagship hlg 550 V2 listed at https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/all/products/hlg-550 for $1049
(671/1049)*100= 63.97%...not 2/3, my bad!
Dan shoulda named the 48sams, “almost a bogo”!
This is what i was referring to...ya lol-jockey

What makes you think the HLG550 is lower quality.
Is it the the precision machined slab of aluminium for optimal heat transfer.

I have to add heat to my 4x4 with two 48sams in it, wtf do i need an undersized baking sheet for?
Did i read that thing covers 4.5x5? Fuckin joke!

Lol! You're a fool. Timber is using HLG boards and heatsink for their 48SAM. The only thing they added was a piece of aluminum extrusion to it.
The SAMS are 5" longer than the 550 and 1" less in width. So their coverage will be almost identicle.
12sq ft for the 48SAM.
GrowersLight sells a 600w version of the 550 for 300$ cheaper, and HLG seems to have no problem with that, even custom making it for them.

Pretty sure it was Dan's own decision to focus on COB's again. With the Sams kits there is not really a good margin when sold for ⅔ the price and when the COB sales go down because he sells more boards he cuts himself into his flesh.
On request, he still seem to sell it... So where is the problem?
As long as he does not respond, it's all speculation...

You want diy, good for you, my comments are about the ready-made fixtures.

Exactly! He wants to sell more COBs for the better mark up. If he is still doing custom design on request then HLG have not cut off supply or stopped him using the QBs.
Or_Gro maybe your directing your "Fuck them" comments at the wrong company! But then its easy to see from the title of the thread you already predetermined that HLG was the bad guy in this situation.

Yea at the end of the day Timber and HLG are still competitors. This makes the most sense to me.
