New AC Infinity clip fans??? WUT?!?!

[LeastExpectedGrower]

They've added pricing to their new lights since I last looked and they're surprisingly less expensive than I'd thought they would be...and given their connectivity.

240w for $269 retail is pretty good, given what other name hort lighting companies charge.

I'd wait until a few growers took it for a test run before I'd buy, but $269 is pretty fuckin cheap.

 

[LeastExpectedGrower]

...Though, I really want a controller that also has a photo/optic sensor so you can set the PPFD or DLI from an actual reading. That's a 'miss' for me on the 69.

Chilled tech is $800 out the door for their 330 watt, I was just trying to save a couple bucks.

They have some outrageous prices as well haha. 480 @ $600 is worth a shot to me

 

[CanadaKid]

They looks nice, but IMO the only benefit would be tying the whole system together into one control unit. Same goes for this fan, too.

Which can be done with the controller 69

Yeah, I still have anxiety over my last purchase lol but good dope regulates that stress.

I agree. If they ever go in that direction, that will be a game-changer.

Totally enough programming & processor & info to say you'd like to remain at 'x DLI' and have it calculate brightness bases on a meter reading + your light schedule. Sensor centered @ canopy height and you could walk away. From there if you want to dial the DLI up or down for different grow phases, just set that in the app.

And yes, there's already a few lights systems out there that can do this, but it would be great to have it as an integrated gear ecosystem.

Do you have any links for those light systems?

I don't off hand. I've mentioned it previously and someone here commented that there were a few and name checked them, but it wasn't something that looked easily integratable with my HLGs, so I failed to save the info.

 

[Syntax747]

All good. I'll jus do a little research.

Does the 69 control require GPS location permission like the 67 control?
It' so cool being tracked by my fan.

After some research I learned android versions 6-11 require location permission for bluetooth devices. I can't explaine why my car and a 2021 loaner car never needed location permission.

Looks like they are going to have 9" versions as well (oscillating and fixed models - still in beta).

They are not a “name hort lighting company”.

They make fans. Tents and lights are rebranded Chinese tat same as Mars hydro.

 

[Bubbles32]

I haven't seen Chinese clone lights with USB C ports allowing control with pretty affordable controllers (compared to more expensive options). Still too expensive for me on a dollar per watt basis but I can see their appeal.

What's the other brand name(s) of the AC Infinity lights?

 

[K81.UK]

I don’t know but I guarantee they are Chinese and a similar quality to Mars, spider farmer etc.

AC infinity are not a light company. They are selling Chinese lights and tents with their logo and controllers.

Not necessarily a bad thing but no rival to HLG, chilLED etc.

The fans and controller are now (original controller was useless for growing) very good and have a premium reputation. I think it would be a mistake to assume the lights and tents are the same. The tents are are widely used and flawed Chinese design.

Id rather have a HLG light, gorilla tent and AC infinity fans than AC infinity everything.

 

[Bubbles32]

What is the flawed design issue with the ac infinity tents? Clearly the lights are being produced in China but to ac infinity requirements, I haven't seen anything from another Chinese brand with the halo layouts etc. Basically it's Chinese but not a clone.

Why do say the original controller was useless? Which controller do you have?

 

[Psyphish]

Do you really even need a controller if you're a home grower? I've managed with a mechanical timer for my lights for 14 years.
