He said this about them a while ago.
and I am pretty sure they are xt-e 4500k. He said his tester was getting amazing results(flower). The WW is taking over. First a little now whole panels. The other multi unit system is what I am waiting to see come out.Glad the light is working out for you.
The updated version advantages, there's a 13% increase in power draw, and a 35% increase in light intensity. Coverage will increase a little as well, as you'll need an extra few inches of height between it and plant tops.
The housing case will be identical (though I will be changing the color of it eventually, thinking of a brushed aluminum graphite finish), the circuit boards are identical. Upgrading from the 2013 SGS to the 2014 SGS will just be a matter of swapping out the circuit boards with the new LEDs, and swapping a 550mA driver for a 750mA driver (that part is optional). For those that want to upgrade, it'll be fairly inexpensive, compared to buying a whole new panel.
The expandable lights will be fairly costly for just 1 unit, but the prices will decrease as more are purchased. Probably will be about $125 shipped for 1 unit, just because of shipping. But for a set of 16 will be roughly $100 each shipped. These are all just estimations, if I can get the price down some, I will.
