Official GrowNorthern Release on US availabilty of the new leds..
Hello my brothers and sisters, I am here to give the official information release from GN on the US availability questions that keep popping up on the new units..
GN releasing a US voltage light is an inevitability, however our main focus right now is the 220-240v light. Using a driver with a specific mains input rather than a worldwide input you can achieve greater power regulation and lower ripple currents which is very important for protecting against LED faults. The US has an established and competitive grow light market and we are not ignoring the potential to be a apart of that however were a small company and our first priority is to get the manufacturing and distribution right in the in EU. We will likely produce a beta batch of US lights early next year and the GN and Dutch passion sites will have an option to register interest in the US voltage lights. We will also be making sure all of the other products (control, power distribution and optical) in the new series are compatible with the US voltage light so all of the great features of the new light will also be available in the US version.
I am confident we now have a product that will attract customers worldwide so making a version with a US specific voltage input is a necessary next step. Hopefully one we will be taking early next year.
