I 'm new to LED and I need help picking one.

No I mean buy the parts and build it yourself. No kit.

I don't know how to that with out piece by piece detailed instructions. Unless you would be kind enough to send me a link for one that covers a 5' X 10' area.

I’d go with 2 or 3 HLG 600s or with the Rapid builds. I’m still shocked by that shipping cost with those Timbers ffs.

It's fed ex's fault. I was really looking forward to buying them, but $420 for shipping, no fucking way.

Yeah, I’m not blaming Timber. I’m interested in getting a small light from them in the future.

CXB3590's are killer cobs but no longer the most efficient, if you aren't sweatin the utility bill they are great lighting.

Lots of guys here gravitate to HLG Quantum boards....they are super efficient. Another option for ya, I know u are after quality.

I don't know much about Chilled products.......Rapid LED makes great lighting too. Amare is another hi end brand.

I just bought 2 of the timbers from that website you linked. For some reason they had free shipping and a 5% discount.

Hello,

Just to bring some clarification - the Redwood TS and Fatty VS both are considered oversized packages and as such ship by their dimensional weight rather than their actual weight. This holds true for UPS, FedEx and DHL. USPS will not ship them because they are too large.

The cost to ship these 48"x40"x6" boxes is generally between $135-175 due to the size rather than the weight.

I hope this helps - if you have any questions, or need further clarification, please let us know.

Have a good day.

Regards,
Dan

Yep, turn out they had an error on the website. The owner contacted me an hour after purchase and told me that there would be a delivery fee, so I just cancelled the order.
