I think they’re amazing lights! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From me. I saved for weeks and sold another burple system I had to get this Nars Hydro Ts1000. And nothing but amazed since installed

Well yeah, if you go from a blurple to a white LED, of course the difference is gonna be amazing. IMHO, Mars is a little too blue for my liking in flower. If I was going cheap, I would lean towards a Meiju, Spider Farmer, or Phlizon.

Do some research. I never make a major purchase without at least seeing what my options are. You just want to go ahead and grab an expensive light, which I'm guessing is based on their marketing. There is an LED subsection in the Indoor Forum here on RIU. Great place to start.

I already listed a couple of cheap options, but it sounds like money isn't an issue for you. In that case, look at Fluence, Gavita, HLG, Timber and a few others that I'm blanking on at the moment.

Ive researched a lot. California lightworks are American made and very long lasting. I dont trust those alibaba type deals because I have rotten luck

Well fuck you then. Why did you even ask me to suggest lights for you when you already have your heart set on the very bestest lights in the whole wide world?

Have fun overspending, sport.

I didn't mean to offend. Im honestly open to others besides alibaba. Sorry about that
 
And BTW, HLG, Fluence, and Timber are American companies as well. Both HLG and Timber sell better lights than CLW at a better price point. Never shopped Fluence, so I can't speak to their prices.
 
I rubbed you the wrong way unintentionally. I am very open to those. Thank you. Just because I have researched doesn't mean we found the same things. This being my 1st indoor grow and highly illegal here. I didn't want to invest a ton of cash and then find out my nerves can not take the stress. Of growing illegally. So i went on the cheap

They're assembled in America. There is a big difference between American made and assembled in America. The parts still come from countries like China.
 
Now that my nerves are steady. I can invest in better gear. My plan is autos popping in the spare room and photos cooking in a nice tent. No more than 10 plants at a time to stay under felony weight

CLW is not "on the cheap". They're some of the most expensive blurple lights on the market. They're some of the best made blurples in the industry and they use quality diodes and components, but there are so many better options for less money. Even their newer SMD based white lights are pricey af. $800 for a 340 watt bar. That's crazy.

I think customer support is a bigger reason for most people to buy American assembled. I personally don't care, so it's not an issue to me.

Half the time customer support even for American companies is routed to a call center in India. I don't know about this particular company.
 
Im getting damn good bud development with 3 cheap LEDs. Well the Valspectra was over 200. But the other 2 are mars hydro. I wont buy Valspectra again. Lights were plugged up new on August 21st. And already a few drivers are out. This is 42 days from seed. I dont think its too bad
