Only if you're trying to sell people something.Is it mandatory?
I like your T1750, it's very similar to what I have, 4x CXB3590 at 1750mA w/ lenses on a 90cm bar, although my light is DIY.I've been running cobs optic free for 2 years now, not a spot of dust. They seem to repel particles. This may have something to do with the photon output but I suspect there is a bit of laminar flow produced by the temperature differential. My experience has been with passive heatsinks and vertical air movement so the flow pattern will change, but I still think the LES will stay fairly dust free over the long term, especially with reflectors in place.

For the t4 2100 would you use an hlg320h-c2100b?I haven't updated this thread in a while. Some of this stuff won't interest most but in keeping with the theme I though I would mention a few things.
16 gauge power cords will come standard with lamps now. The AC wiring in the lamps and the connector cords will still be 14 gauge. This will keep options open for people wanting to push closer to 15 amps while also being able to provide 120v power cords for the majority of applications.
The manufacturing process is about to get an upgrade. I've ditched the HVAC supply house as my metal supplier. They gave me the wrong alloy several times so I started looking around. I found a place that will get exactly what I want and will cut it to my specifications. It's a level of precision I wasn't able to achieve on my own, so now I will be able to stack 10 or more sheets together and do what was 10 hours of drill work in 1 hour. No more chopping sheets up either. It wasn't a time consuming process but still a bonus.
I'm also using a thicker gauge aluminum in the next production cycle. The upgrade was only $15 a sheet, or about $2 per lamp. My damage rate with UPS has been under 5% which is not bad but I hope to get it closer to zero. Part of it was packaging which I've solved at this point but a thicker gauge enclosure will also help and pay for itself.
I'm trying to keep stock at 6 lamps or less while waiting on the CX upgrade, also itching to learn more about the new Vero lineup which will may end up being a few months behind the CX upgrade. Being a small company I'm versatile in this regard and can re-tool in a matter of days if I want to.
The 300w T4-2100 will be showing up in the next month or so. Having a full line in the 2100 series I'll start thinking seriously about dropping the 1750 and 1400 series and possibly introducing a new model to take over the higher efficiency offering.
Anyway, I want to thank all the people who have purchased Tasty lamps. I'm teetering on the edge of quitting my day job which I've already reduced to part time. I have an employee learning the craft and sales are good.
Yes exactly. I have one I've been playing around with and a small shipment coming. What the availability will be after that I don't know.For the t4 2100 would you use an hlg320h-c2100b?
