I gave away my 4 x QB132, 9 x CLU048-1212 build for reasons I can't exactly justify a couple months ago. Frame, heatsinks, fans, mean wells, the whole thing. Hadn't used it (haven't grown) in a couple years and it sucked to store, but I should have just dismantled it and stored the pieces. I'm a fucking idiot. 90% of the clutter in my house is junk of no monetary value and I could have parted ways with that shit, but I decided to free up the space by getting rid of something expensive (it made no dent in the hoard).
Worst is that the couple I gave it to were new friends and after hanging out a few times I realized they were kind of lame. Perhaps the feeling is mutual, don't care to reach out to them and haven't heard anything from em in weeks. Doubt they'll ever set it up, so it'll just sit in their basement for eternity. Was like 700w at the wall and I ran it in a 4x4 with arduino DIY internet enabled dimming to balance temps / sunrise-sunset / run acclimation presets.
So then I find this thread tonight trying to catch up on what's new in LED land for my next grow room build (if I can find another fucking house to buy) and now I own two Updayday lights. Looks like the deal continues.
I like to run two bloom tents at a time but I also gave my two 4x4's away, so I'm thinking I'll try these lights out in a pair of 3x3x5 gorilla shortys. Point of this post: nothing, thanks for helping me spend money. On the plus side I probably won't feel inclined to junk these even if I take another hiatus from growing. A lot smaller than my old light and not on a janky frame either. I'll hang them over a work bench in my garage or something.
