They use 3070 on the SE450 / Pro 3, and 3590 on the pro 4. I don't think anyone pays full price for amare if they send Victor a message. Just FYI. Timber with the new Vero is no doubt a solid offering, as is PLC, Tasty, Northern, Johnson, BCblondes, and for DIY Cobkits. Plenty of great choices these days.

You wanna justify your poor purchase then don't ask people's opinion.

The guy that runs the Maximizer did a side by side with the Black dog 800. The MAXIMIZER came out on top at a 200 watt disadvantage to the Black dog.

Not justifying shit and certainly not hanging on to your bullshit contrived opinion. You may be right btw and I believe it is suspect as well but without knowing you are doing nothing more than shoveling bullshit.

Will you please add a line break so people are certain the MAXIMIZER beat the BLackdog 800 china pannel paper weight.

I'm pretty sure Black dog didn't use the worst Chinese parts. The Epistars are better than they used to be. Epistar is basically Gen3 Cree where Cree is on Gen5-Gen6. They actually licensed the Gen3 tech from Cree.

I wouldn't. It would take you hours trying to match leds with picture models. You can do that from the emmiter side the other side is just board it's on.
I'll save you some work. Look through epistar leds.

Again, most people don't seem to pay MSRP. It's in line with all other offerings around here price wise, even at msrp. It's about 2 bucks/w realistically. Little less for the less efficient models. Probably not the best, but far from being as bad as some around here feel.

To simplify the video the black dog was the least efficient of all of them.
1.14mol/j
I think homedepot leds beat that

If you are even thinking about amare might as well buy Kind LED...
350w....$1145 doesnt seem inline with the places I shop. esp with 2530 CXA's
They need to upgrade to the times and I am afraid to see their prices if they did! lol!
Just have to match

For the sake of honest disclosure on the thread's mentioned company.. SE450 = CXB3070 and CREE XP-C2/XPE2 (these may be new iterations now, who knows) It's 450w. They've had an old version of their site up for a while now for whatever reason.

Wow! This is crazy.
First off, nobodies even asked if you're happy w/ the one you own. I know I am, so much I just lit my 15'x4.5' w/ Pro-4's.
The guys giving advice here are biased, infamous Amare haters whom ignore results & facts just to hate.
Facts on Amare:
-poeple pay -$2 a watt, nobodies EVER paid msrp that I'm aware of.
-I've never meet a person unsatisfied w/ the product or the service
-great results everywhere you look
-5 yr warranty
-models/fixtures made to suit different grow requirements & sizes
I'm so sorry that you've been greeted by false info.
Aside from the three that are trying to offer truthful info.
They are definitely one of the best out there all around.
Timbers are nice if you want plain cobs & DIY.
Personally, I like the option to veg under my Amare's & firmly believe in the enhanced spectrum.
They beat out my HPS every time. That is documented.
My recommendation is that you look for side by side grows using Amare & Plain Cobs. The results are undeniable.
Good luck!
Be careful taking advice from poeple who don't know anything about the product & selectively disregard the facts.
