It's a great honour for me to show you guys the first HS1 in action,I was very fortunate to get this little beauty delivered a few hours ago and it really is little,the first thing you notice when unpacking is the sheer size of it.....its 230mmx210mmx55mm thick and 66mm if you include the Diffuser....thats the second thing that jumps out,it looks like nothing I've seen on a grow light and clips on and off with nice strong magnets. I believe there are several diffusers including a standard 80 degree diffuser for all stages a 60 degree diffuser for if your using units angled onto 1 plant (something I can't wait to try) or want to focus the light onto a small space and rectangular shape casting diffusers to tailor fit a room.
The overall feel and look screams quality to me,it feels like it's worth some money if you know what I mean,really well made.
Hanging the unit centrally wasn't difficult and the off centre design isn't an issue. The power cord connector is different to any I've used before too and has a very solid feel when clipped in,the wago port is next to that.
Turning the unit on was very exciting after such a wait and WOW not only is it incredibly bright but the light has perfectly even spread with no hot spots or colour patches,it's really quiet too and I couldn't hear it at all when in the grow room I had to turn it on in a silent room to be able to hear the quiet hum it makes. Overall very impressive bit of kit.
I have this light over my 2 Mephisto girls and there will be another HS1 added next week to grow the 2 brand new DP autos....Auto Euphoria and AutoBlackberry Kush,diary coming soon.
