AC Infinity LEDs

[GreenBean]

Haven't seen it mentioned here, but maybe it has been. I noticed that AC is rolling out LEDs now. The S series rated for a 2x2 is already available and the price looks good. The T series features a lot of "neat" things. I'm kind of in love with the LED bar arrays now. But I would be interested in checking one out for sure.

I was looking at this too. It's so hard to figure out who has got a great lighting array and who's is just okay.

I'm interested. Been loving their fan tech.

It looks like the new photontek lights that are out. Photontek usually make really good lights but the new one tested out kinda eh by Migro.

I’m super partial to the bar arrays now. The light is so even that there’s really no bad spots in the tent.

I’m a huge fan of my Atreum bar arrays, they’re about 47” wide so they really fill the tent. Reasonable pricing too. But ChilLED is probably king of the hill.

Dunno, when it comes to lights now, I tend to stay away from Amazon based vendors and look for domestically based companies. I have a number of AC components that I really like. I hope their lights are good at a decent price. At the very least, it looks like they’re taking their own route. Rather than just selling white label lights with their logo on them.

Great looking lights but, without pricing, it's hard to determine their value. The controller they're using is a really good idea. It gives you a "central control" for their fans and lighting. If there's a phone app, that's another big plus.
The lights themselves don't do much for me. The PPFD map didn't float my boat at all. There's serious light fall off when I compare that to a Mars SP 3000 and a Growcraft x3. Price is a big driver there so if there's some savings vs the Mars, that would be a plus but, dollar for dollar, the Mars outshines a lot of other lights.
There's also the unusual PAR map. In the blue and red parts of the spectrum, the AC lights don't have the typical spikes that you see in in blue and red. I wonder why they decided to go with that spectrum?
I can see the appeal for "one stop shopping" - I bought a kit from SuperCloset in 2017 and I think it was money well spent. Now that AC Infinity grow lights, that makes their tents + fans more competitive.
