I agree with this. And to weigh 41lbs is ridiculous. And has secondary optics. Which kill the light. I think i read somewhere its 21% light loss using optics. Or lenses. For 1500 bucks I could build a light alot better. I'd say its be a hard pass for me. Although I do like the design of the framing. But that's about it.

Plus it's only 3 bars.. I'd honestly suggest the HortiBloom megaPlus over this anyway.

I believe that but I am not a very talented electrician and I don't have many tools.( I live in a 430 sf studio with my girlfriend)

I would love to see these lights y'all can build though, any pictures?

How did you build/design the housing?

He's not been active for a while but I believe it's just U channel or box channel aluminium which makes a good heatsink if they aren't running the strips hard.

Plenty of examples in the LED section kicking about

Also Google LED gardener
