[strawberry]

Yeah I got one newbud

 

[User K]

Think I'm going to wait till March to get a HS1 when I get my new setup. They do look very nice and I'll run them with 2 Of my tried and tested MS6 in a Dr90, should be good.

I'm with you kippers! My setup's gonna change over the next few months and all my kit is being donated to a friend in the new year.

I'm gonna need a new light! ^_^ Hopefully about March too!

As much as I would like to upgrade to led from my 250w HP's I don't really think I could justify spending more than about £150. Maybe grownorthern will release a led starter series at a budget price to put an end to cheap UFO lights.

Well I thought there would of been a bit more banter about it as we found out the spec . Or it just me I am excited to get the light it's like Xmas day for me Tuesday

stupid question what side is the front ?

stupid question what side is the front ?

With rectangular LED lights it is down to orientation of the light and the width of the sides that usually detemines which side is the front.

It is generally considered that the longer length facing you is the front as generally shown in pictures and adverts.

Although in reality, is there really any side which is to be considered more the front than any other?

The HS 1 is slightly different as the business end of things are located in a single quadrant, in the picture above it is located in the top left corner.

Aesthetically speaking the front side could be considered the left hand side of the picture above , due to the part of the light which holds the holographic difuser, which is also slightly deeper than the rest of unit & runs along this length.

It also depends in how you orientate it and which way you put in the difuser if the difuser has an 80 deg x50 {rectangular focus} or a 80 deg x 80 deg lens {square focus} and the shape of your room be it square or rectangle.

In my conclusion, there really isn't a front but rather a center and the center is off center and positioned in a corner, further to that, there are further variables which can be created with various difusers of varing degrees of focus on their X & Y axis.

So lets say you have an 80 X 80 difuser in a square tent, you will want the quadrant which has the leds and difuser in it in the dead center of you room.

I you have lets say two HS1's in a 1.2m x1.2m space you will ant to hang them side by side, using 80 x 50 difusers in each slightly angled towards each other and the 80 deg sides running parallel to each other .

If you have a wardrobe/cabinet 1.2 wide across the front and 60cm deep then you would hang the light so the quadrant holding the led and difuser was in dead center and use an 80 x 50 difuser orientated so that the 80 degree side ran in the same orientation as the widest part of the cupboard ie. width across the front.

is that any help?

Will Dutch Passion sell the same light as GN? I mean same colour and brand on it. I see lights are branded CrazyLEDs and DP shows same pictures as GN.

I have not ordered it yet, too many questions remain unanswered for my taste.

Anyway I would buy only one to test it first, but I am almost sure that I will see results of testing here on AFN before I would finish mine.

Light is really perfectly built, results will most probably be very good or at least acceptable, unfortunatelly the price has gone up from initial "will cost the same and give same power as GN006.". I bought lights from DP and had got 100€ seeds with each, so the new one cosst exactly double of what I paid for GN006, that was 250€.

But there is one thing that makes me happy, I will most probably sell old GN006 lights for 200-250 each, Dutch Passion is strong brand here around and there is not much to buy.

When I phoned them the other day to find out when they would start selling the HS 1, they were very friendly and helpful. They will start selling them on monday 22/12/14.

I posted HS1 spec earlier in this thread and when you look at the high end parts they use and that it is latest tech you can see why the price is set where it is.

It is truely the Rolls Royce of LED lights out there with highest end components they could use.

There are a number of members waiting until March to purchase a HS1 myself included, the reasons are two fold, one by march we will see the first harvests/results and two it gives people time to save up their pennies.

I did E-mail dutch Passion some months back about weather there would be the same seed offer with the HS1 as the High Lite 006, but I'm afraid it didn't solicit a reply, so I am still in the dark about that.

Prices - GN are selling the HS1 with a £15 discount until 1/1/15 @ £360 after 1/1/15 it goes to its standard price of £375.

Dutch passion are selling it for 495 Euros which as of todays exchange rate {20/12/14} is eqivalent to £387.39 so some free seeds would be appreciated seeing as it cost is just over £12 more than the standard GN price.
