Lighting new GN Units

Ive been using the 240w of the Philips Rebels and I had a really good 6 week cycle where I could focus the lights on the flowering plants but also veg up 2 plant to flower in the second hand light as it were,it's a lot to look through but here are my threads with the grows oh and I was averaging 300-400g every 6 weeks.

Your making yourself look a fool bro how can you flame out on a company saying there ripping people off when you have no facts about the product you claim there over charging for ???

Reading through your grows makes me feel like im using a nuke to hit a target you are taking out with a sniper rifle.... Kind of makes me excited to see whats coming into the realm of growing with finesse....And also makes me question my entire setup...lol.
 
Bit harsh don't you think? I'm not calling anyone names... I know what i have read here, it costs 330pounds, uses 75w of electricity, contains LED diodes some power supplies...wiring..heatsinks and fans... I'm not flaming out on a company...Just voicing an opinion on the disparity in pricing between the upper and lower end of the LED market...Or...you know the consumer market in general...I hate paying $120 for brand name jeans, but i still do it while loling at people paying $600 for brand name jeans...



I think the fact that you willpay whatever price GN decides for your "perceived quality" is part of the reason these new units look to be coming into the market fairly high in the price range..brand recognition. I have plenty of interest in these new units, like i said if they perform as well as the fanbois hope at such a low electricity cost there could definately be a place for them in my setup. I do think however that i make a valid point about some of the expensive units on the market being less than impressive for their price.

This appeared to be a conversation based on rumours/projections of an upcoming product...And people are getting way too emotional about it... I'm as interested as anyone to see what new LED technology hits the market, but i also have a fine sense of cost vs value... I'm not judging anyone else's choices or opinions but i am a skeptic at heart.

Bro it's foolish to say people are being over charged when you havent seen the product? How do you know it doesn't have gold heat sinks and wiring and propellers instead of hanging chains lol ok I'm foolish saying that lol but it's the components costs and that's it's being made in the UK not China where labour is more expensive that reflect the price.
 
I will post in Gloomshade defense. He doesn't seem to be coming off harsh to me at all. It seems more like some of you are very emotional over a light that hasn't even come out yet and feel the need to defend it for no reason. Gloomshade hasn't attacked anyone, hasn't flammed, hasn't disrespected anyone and yet you all seem to be ganging up on him. Why? because he is not believing the hype as easily as you guys seem to.

The man has done nothing wrong and he has had his posts reported and people jumping all down his throat for nothing. Even threatened by a damn mod for no damn reason. I haven't been on this site very long but the attitude people have displayed in this thread is definitely a turn off.

The only thing Gloom said that was a little out of line is that GN are over charging for this light when no one can make that judgement until the unit has been reviled
 
Hi I posted in the information section last night as this one was closed. Im curious as to how much wattage the cooling fans/systems in a Ms0006 draw? Reading through this thread lots of people seem hung up on the 75W number but if the new unit uses passive cooling then surely this contributes towards some of the power save? When one led light is compared to another of equal wattage how do you know the efficiency? ie where that power is being used?

There not passively cooled.
 
Ok I must have misread.

Yep my mistake I meant silent cooling! :thumbs:

piece love guys .

yes it dose seem a lot of money for some people but you some times have to put money in to save money but you get 3 years warrant . and a quality piece of kit here in the UK things do cost more to make .

china average wage per hour is£0.79 in the uk its £6.31

look at as this you pay £330.00 spread the cost over 3 years bit like taking out a loan with your self

some thing like £4.00 a month each or like been on hire for 3 years that's how i have all ways looked at it that way
