So I've dabled in a lot of budget grow lights amd I've had great success with some and not so great with others. I have a few extra funds to play around with this. Anyway I bought a budget bar style link will be in the comments. Anyone use this thing. Waiting to see if I wasted 420 bucks or not. By the way this is the most $$ budget light I have went with

Doesn't seem to be that bad of a light. 720 true watts from the wall. Seems to have a good spectrum coverage also, performing really well in the far red. I was however interested in the fact that it showed its ppfd at 6", I've never had my light that close. Be sure to keep us updated on its performance, I'm sure others will be curious including myself. I did however like the controller they featured, with the ability to simulate the suns rise and fall to offer the plants a more natural style of lighting, that was pretty cool.

From their published spectral graph, it looks like an approx. 4000K colour temp light. Should be a great performer in VEG.

Actually that's red, far red is around 730nm. $420 is a good price for 720W.

Is far red dead

Seems all posts on far red initiators are latest posts 2020 on google non recently so does that mean the far red has been scrapped as an idea for Emerson ? if it took off good you would see it allover by now surely not just hidden deep in the web and for sale on a few pages I’d expect by now...

Ok guys so first update. I ordered one light and there was a shopping error. I received 3 lights. Not being a total scum bag I emailed them and let them know about the situation and they said to keep them and hopefully keep using them every time I upgrade etc. I'll be setting them up this Weekend and see how they do. I have 6 autos going now that are about 3 weeks old. In two more weeks I'll be starting 6 more. Will keep you guys posted on how those light preform
