Holy Flashbacks Batman!I don't know anything about the Photontek but someone gave me a Phototron years ago for a bag of weed. I wasn't impressed.

They came out with the Pro series later on. Digital with an EcoBrain. State of the art.

Photon tek lighting looks really good. I’ll be running their 1000w led in my r&d area. If it works well im going to buy 15 and chunk them in my one room and then go ahead and replace the rest Of the building with them.

Ok so it's unboxed and hung in one of my testing areas. For now it's in a 5x5 ac infinity tent and a fast fit 4x4 table that I use for my testing of plants before I put them into production.Hurry up!!
First thing is the build quality it's slick I know that. The magnets they use to set the bars into place make it a breeze to put together. The driver on this thing is an absolute monster! Since I have plant in the tent I hung the frame in fist and then clipped in the bars to avoid damaging anything plant wise. Btw if anyone's buys this thing and you plug it in and didn't install the dimmer be warned. One bar alone is blinding. Currently it's at 25% to see how they respond but the light it produces is clean and bright. Par and ppfd testing will happen tomorrow after it has some burn in time.
I will say packaging and everything even though late ( not their fault just FedEx) it came unharmed. So for now on to pictures.

Thanks! Nice looking tent too! Mine are Secret Jardin but I don't like their new tents. So I've been perusing those too. You are just hitting it out of the park for me, bless you

I cant wait to see how these do in your space. Like you and Annie, I'm looking to replace all my HIDs with LEDs. I had a hellava time keeping my flower room cool this year. My AC and exhaust barely kept up.
I do want to keep my 630 CMHs to blend with the LEDs but we'll see how it all shakes out.
Now lets see how that shiny pretty light performs!!

Well I took the plunge and got the 600w coming for the 4 x 4 right now! Can’t wait. If it goes well I’ll probably get a couple more for my new 4x8 flower tent I’m getting set up soon
I'm so ready to pull the trigger. I just bought some of Todd McCormick's Original Haze and it flowers for fucking ever so I'm ready. I'm considering just getting the 1000 because I think I'm going to need a separate area for it to flower. An actual room. Then I think about your Fohse's Ai3 you found and I figured I'd ask you since you have your finger on the pulse. My new obsession flowers for 26 weeks or so. I remember a guy who espaliered some in his back yard and that plant ran for 3 years until we had a hard freeze. So I can't use my regular tables and I remember they were 20' tall in the fields in Central America so I can't use a tent but I do have a spare room.
