Having two male IEC sockets on each of the ends of the Model-V does pose a level of endangerment to anyone who is brave/dumb enough to think that putting their fingers in a socket with the lights turned on is safe; initially when designing this product, I somehow forgot that there are dumb people out there in the world and overlooked this.
..you gotta get that fixed. Being a person who grows with a light every opportunity I have, and running the variety of lights I have.... I was at one point, and still am apparently(since you decided to bring community esteem down) one of those dumb people.
With my AT, my 51s, my old 51s, progrows, generic lights, hell HID hood, fuckin whatever. I cannot count the times I have rest the light at my hip bone to tinker. (Not the diy, unless it's unplugged, psu) to fix something on the ratchets, or tighten a screw, adjust height, fix the mounts... I can also say I I did some times with the lights on. Hot on your lap but whatever... I cannot tell you how many times I probably rested my finger on the old 51s daisy function and didn't think twice about it........ you need to get that fixed. And I know you know you do. So the tude in here towards g isn't necc, idc what he said or how he said it, we're all on the Internet -_- kind if fogs the communication, AND we're all adults. Take the constructive criticism and do your thing. Just don't defend yourself trashing your targeted market because you feel like you're being attacked. Even if you were... that's a great way to start making money...
You have got a lot to learn and it's gonna come fast doing shit like this. (Plug, talk..) customers have bitched because there was no hanging guide with a light. Yea. I'm think, for real?! But you know what... we're in a hobby that is finally surfacing as a legitimate medical tool under a doctors belt. And what goes and sees the doctor? Sick people, so maybe I shouldn't pass judgement so quick because maybe they are feable, or starting to mentally go out. Or maybe they are special needs... even as "minor" as what asbergers (sp?) Can look like.. that's enough.
Probably not the case. But to put the extreme out there may help you realize as a distributor of a good, you have to think of absolutely everything at an extreme so you cover all the bases that build up to where you've already covered.
Fuck cost. If ppl want the best product they can buy (In their eyes) whatever it may be... they'll buy it. That just opens my eyes that you are already concerned about the margin youre trying to make too much... you should be just getting lights out to ppl and worry about reputability
I didn't buy AT for 5 years? Back when I first started growing I saw em in max growth and never pulled the trigger. Then I found out the science behind the price, the results (g), and finally got myself one.
I dont have a whole lot of basis to pass judgement on you, i usually stay out if this "you and g" thing. It just irritates me to see this shit attitude because you are frustrated. don't fuckin rag on the community for it, and certainly take the help from members that are hospitable and good enough sports to help.
Good luck dude.
