Who do you guys think takes the trophy between these two hlg 650r or chilled x6
That's a pretty even comparison. ChilLed has the advantage of using bars for better overall spread, but HLG has years of proven success and great customer serviceWho do you guys think takes the trophy between these two hlg 650r or chilled x6
Oh, when I looked they were price matched the same?Not to mention the chilled has 350watts more than the HLG. But being $1,400 it's pretty expensive and far more light than you could ever need for the 4x4 footprint the fixtures actually built for. I guess If you wanted to run a 5x5, you could use it but being built at 42.5"x42.5" dimensions, although 1000w IS enough for a 6x6, the spread isn't there.
Nope. That's for the 6 bar, 600w. The 1000 is 1400I was worried when I heard 1000w in a 4x4, but its designed for 5x5, which is still beast mode.
1000w LED of that calibre for $1099. That's cracking!
Hey @Airwalker16 , I think @coreywebster was referring to the ChilLED Growcraft X6 Bar 1000 Watt DIY LED Grow Light Kit which is currently priced at $1,099 for ChilLED's introductory sale.Nope. That's for the 6 bar, 600w. The 1000 is 1400
Having never touched or seen an LED before this thing arrived. I was very overwhelmed at first when putting it together to say the least. They did not even provide any directions in the box. Needless to say the assembly was very simple. The only thing i dont like about this thing is that it needs 2 drivers for 1 fixtureHey @Airwalker16 , I think @coreywebster was referring to the ChilLED Growcraft X6 Bar 1000 Watt DIY LED Grow Light Kit which is currently priced at $1,099 for ChilLED's introductory sale.
One of the downsides is there is no warranty with the DIY kits apparently.
Well, there's a reason for that... Nobody should ever manufacture a 1,000w driver for LED use. Just too much..Having never touched or seen an LED before this thing arrived.

Must be the kit then. Cause that fixture is 1,399 on the website.Hey @Airwalker16 , I think @coreywebster was referring to the ChilLED Growcraft X6 Bar 1000 Watt DIY LED Grow Light Kit which is currently priced at $1,099 for ChilLED's introductory sale.

On a positive note, on the off chance one of your drivers stops working, you still have three bars operational right?Having never touched or seen an LED before this thing arrived.

Inventronics make 1200 watt drivers. There is a member on GC who uses them to power his boards.Well, there's a reason for that... Nobody should ever manufacture a 1,000w driver for LED use. Just too much..
That's just ridiculous in my opinion. Way too much light output hinged on a single driver. If it ends up going out, that's a huge loss of light. That's an entire 4x8s needs!Inventronics make 1200 watt drivers. There is a member on GC who uses them to power his boards.
Yep, 3 would remain on.On a positive note, on the off chance one of your drivers stops working, you still have three bars operational right?
If i hang 10 of these in a flower room. i would have 20 drivers to hang and deal with. Its not super deep, but still a hassle. I do not think they made a 1000W with a tent grow in mind.That's just ridiculous in my opinion. Way too much light output hinged on a single driver.

Unless you're using over 20 or so of them in a huge open room style setup where losing one wouldn't be catastrophic to your run, I can't see any home grower benefiting from such a large driver.
Well just as I said in my last post, if you're hangin' 10 of these in an open room like 15x15 ft, then losing one driver won't be a huge problem. Besides the whole No Warranty thing.....If i hang 10 of these in a flower room. i would have 20 drivers to hang and deal with. Its not super deep, but still a hassle.

Horticulture Lighting Group doesn't say so on their website, although Growers Lights (a reseller) lists a one year warranty under Features on the 260 Watt Quantum Board LED Kit V2 Rspec product page.Do the HLG DIY kits come with a warranty?
