It's a fair chunk of change but from what I can gather it's the best way to go for my 100x100x180 tent, but I keep running into stumbling blocks.
Obviously my first stop was Vividled.co.uk but all their stock is backordered and delayed. I've sent them two emails over the last two weeks, one technical and one about availability, haven't heard a thing back so I'm sorry but that means I'm done with them.
So I went to horticulturelightinggroup.eu, they have lights in stock and free shipping to Ireland (always a plus). They have the R spec but it's only available with a 120W driver, I'm sorry but wtf? There isn't an option to upgrade or even buy a 240W separately. What's the point of putting top-bin diodes on a board and then not include a driver that can, you know, drive them? Am I missing something? I'm a new grower but I've been a lighting designer for 15 years, this would not fly in a professional setting.
I've tried emailing the EU website but the contact page didn't work. Then the whole site went down, and it's still down. I have to be honest if this is the best they can do I'm not impressed.
This wasn't supposed to be a rant, more a cry for help, sorry if it seems a bit ranty.
