So when I got my light the thing arrived straight up FILTHY, I don’t understand all the other lights I purchased from HLG were practically sterile packaging and I thought this was there flagship model? Anyways the light itself kicks ass but I don’t think I’ll be able to run it at 100 percent

Thank you guys but in all honesty this is way, way wayyyyyyy too much light, almost completely fried my plants at 3 feet away on 50 percent, I want to keep it but I see no possible way to ever run this thing even close to 100 percent even with co2 am I missing something here?

Not really what happened to me was bad planning and eventually a stoner move lol. My plants were doing great at 40% but when i hit 50 i reached my electrical limits and it tripped. I crammed all the plants under one light and heres the stoner part, put the single light to 80 instead of 50 ……..bongsmilie

A standard 5x5 grow tent, I'm gonna keep it and do a run with and without co2 I totally do believe this was a return as I did not buy direct from hlg because I had credit at another store I mean the light is deff top quality, but definitely some tinkering to do with hieght and intensity I'm use to using 4 Mars hydro ts1000 in my other 5x5 but they behave way different

Yeah, an Eskimo just bought a Freezer! What made you buy a Diablo anyways? Sounds like the wrong tool for the job, no?

Imo the par map is good enough to not need full power which is a plus in my eyes
Get you some MethodSeven's. I still have flashing in my peripheral vision after working under LED's for a few years. LED's flash at a rate we cannot see, because our brains cannot process it fast enough. This is why it looks solid. But, it does something to your receptors and trains them to replicate it in natural daylight. Drives me nuts sometimes. But... always wear proper eye protection, and a bucket hat, and never look directly at the lights.
