How could that not be a con?

Sorry dude really can't help you at this point lol. You've got some learnin' to do.

No, you literally said you can't be fucked to change your bulbs after a couple years. I think you're missing my point. Properly done DIY LED already trumps HPS. I agree that the current market has very little to offer aside from outlandish claims. I don't know why you keep suggesting to grow...

Yeah, the technology is going to keep evolving. What you have to consider when foreseeing the evolution of these technologies is the amount of resources being allocated to the development of them. *http://www.semiconductor-today.com/news_items/2016/mar/technavio_030316.shtml Big time...

No, I don't mean SCROG. I mean light uniformity. I don't even know how to respond to, "HID uniformity doesn't matter at all, because of penetration" because its honestly a ludicrous statement. HID doesn't give you the ability to train your plants, it just makes it harder to manage your canopy...

With a proper LED fixture, you have way better uniformity than HPS provides, which increases yield and gives you a more manageable canopy. With proper uniformity, you can place your LED closer (due to the absence of large PAR spikes), providing tighter internode spacing. You don't need to switch...

Its a bit of a stretch to say LED is $3/watt, more like $2. Regardless, you need to take into account that you are getting around 25% more light output per watt with LED. It also matters how many lights you run in your space. The more lights you run, the more savings you accrue with LED (energy...

Thanks for the entertainment. Enjoy your new light.

You don't think its funny the dude thinks he just calculated the PPFD of the HLG-550 by taking a single measurement of the light with a $90 quantum sensor? I personally think its hilarious. Since you linked the video, it sort of shows where you stand in this game lol.

I don't have to test the HLG-550, because I believe the data they provide. You don't, so you need to test it. Understand? Or do you believe the data, yet still fail to see the problem here? lOl. That video is funny. Dude throws his cheapy Hydrofarm quantum sensor under one point of the light...

First of all, no one asked your gender. Second of all, how are you aware of what that little light can do if you refuse to properly test it?

I think it could yield about a pound each day.

Yep.

You're gonna want a 2'x2' tent to get any use out of that light :/

That is precisely what you did. But its OK, now you've got your BEAST light. So, now its time to test this BEAST, right? I mean, you don't believe the data HLG provides (but you believe their claim of succeeding 1000w HPS with 50% less power), you don't believe the data I provide for 1k HPS, so...

Do yourself a favor Lola, grab an SQ-500, a fresh 1k HPS bulb, make a photometric uniformity mat, and see for yourself the difference. Its really not that difficult. I'm honestly surprised you guys are having so much difficulty understanding this. You could even take your HLG-550 out of the box...

You haven't even fucking turned it on yet oh my god LOL

Oh wait, I forgot....HLG cultist don't believe in science. They just replace there lights and change 40 other variables then yield a little bit less with their quantum boards and say, "Well, its good enough I suppose. 50% less power, woooooooo!"

I love how the data is so scary to you HLG cultists that all you can do is claim its fake. 30% less light output, same uniformity issues; you have a shit light. Go do the tests yourself and cry yourself to sleep over the realization that all of this data is in fact very, very real. Seems like...

I don't own an HLG-550 and anyone who did their research wouldn't own one either. Facts are facts. I've posted a visual representation of the product's performance, using data THEY PROVIDE, and the guys that already fell for the marketing ploy are upset that they don't actually have a proper...
