I will be ordering the RW-150 on Monday
Nice, it's on the site. CW + 630 red is the shit...I've ben running it for years.
I find it interesting that they went 50%W/50%R. There usual ratio is great imo...but I guess if they did that with this new light, it would be the closest copy of an apache, that a51 has made yet.
Looks like the white is running at 800mA and the red at 600mA, am I close? Good to see the XPE red back again.Just because there's 1:1 ratio of diodes, doesn't mean it's 1:1 light output. It's more like 2:1
Just observations. You can not deny the similarities between the units and the spectral graphs either of the R2 and the sgs. I have not seen a graph of your new light(no body has that I know of) so I was commenting on the 6200k and 630red it states, which is the base profile for the at120's. And you said you made improvements to already successful concepts and designs(even diy) when the sgs first came out..much of it alluded to AT very clearly, but I apparently you were talking about evo.Copy? A51 NEVER was intended to be a copy of Apache Tech.

I don't understand the "copy" comment. Besides it being kind of rude, is it because they both use red and white LEDs? It can't be anything else, because that's where the similarities end. AT and A51 are not the only ones using red and white. Sure, AT used red and white 1st. But they are not responsible for A51 using red and white. Actually the red and white A51 used/uses is based off of that Evo light, the one with the cool white XPE and red XPE in the long shaped panel. I had one in 2010 and it performed very well, I thought I could improve upon it, and I believe I did.
Housing case sizes are different, the modules are different sizes and LED amount, the A51 uses 6 LEDs per module, AT has 30. The LEDs are different, with different peaks and kelvins, from a different name brand LED. Can't be the lenses, A51 uses 80s and 95s depending on which model, AT's are narrower.

try vegging with 5000k bulbs. Then you will see how shitty 6500k is.hyroot most people veg with 6500k lights my t5s are 6500k for veg what are you talking about?
i don't know about the new light. I personally think anything above 5000k is useless. I don't want any 5700k-6200k. I hope a51 brings back the sgs 160. Or something similar.

Ditto what? You never used any of their lights so how do you know what works better? Like I said before, you need to grow something before you get your discounted light, they don't give em to non growers. Just sayinditto>>>>>
