Overpriced. They've gotten better diodes in their fixtures as of late, but the cost isn't justified at all.

100% agree, I was thinking of getting one just to do a comparison but decided to just ask on here

For the price of their Phytomax-2 at a whopping $2,279(seriously unbelievable) that can cover a 4x4, you could buy 10 of these maybe more with quantity discount, and not notice ANY difference in quality, structure, or potency. I guarantee it.

Still can't understand what compelled all these companies to start throwing 5000k cct diodes into their fixtures? They can be used for sure, as @The Dawg has expressed, but increase flowering times by 2weeks(yuck) and when you look at their spectrum, there's SUCH a low hump in red it's a bummer they're so used now.

Same as the new chilled spectrum. I'm not convinced that it's the best. 25 to 1 white to red, better than a Fluence.
Hey watch the MIGRO video on the SF. He says the overall spectrum is 3600. What say ye?

Similar to the new HLG Diablo. 3500K 80CRI or roughly +/- 300 on that Kelvin figure. 80/91 or 92CRI depending on what page or spec sheet you read.
