    I think Bethmeg uses one. You may want to have a look at her diary.

    I don’t have the controller.I think 82 was probably just referring to the dimmer,as he only has the one Zeus .

    I recently picked up another Zeus second hand from eBay.

    I don’t plan on getting the controller,unnecessary expense I reckon.
    I’ll just plug em both into the contactor.

    I’ve daisy chained them both together now so they dim off one dimmer switch. But I thought the same, unnecessary expense lol. Maybe next time.

    I'd go for the Zeus, given that option. Bar LED lighting is hard to beat.

    I can't comment on the lumatek but I am very happy with my HLG 600 R Spec and would also add that HLG UK were great to buy from, very helpful.

    Zeus 100%!!!

    The 2.9 version is very high efficiency (2.9 umol/J ), quantum boards are more like 2.3 umol/J (micromols of light per joule of energy).

    The other benefit is with the bar style is the light is spread out, meaning the lights can be closer to the plants so less of it is lost making its way to the canopy.

    Most of HLG's QBs are 3.11 umol. Just so folks know the true spec.

    I have the hlg scorpion rspect and I'm very happy with it. Don't you get better light penetration with the q boards? Also iv always thought about why hlg only make the q boards and never the bar style??

    HLG state 2.81umol/J for the Scorpion R-Spec (I think it’s my 260W QB’s that are 2.3umol/J, although I can’t remember where I read that).

    Over 3 is on the Diablo’s which use a different board to the “old” Samsung LM301H/B boards, with 648 LED’s per panel - More LED’s per board on the same wattage = less wattage per LED they run cooler & output more light.

    *That overly boring explanation was revenge for you explaining what an “EU sticker” is for in my thread

    They haven’t caught up to latest fad yet

    Technically the bar style’s are still “quantum boards”. It’s the same technology, only the layout is different.


    Prince Whatever? (Who started this thread) if you’re switching from HPS you may well do better (find it easier to transition) to the HLG’s. What size space are you lighting?
