I agree. Having multiple fixtures does make it a lot easier to dial in the lights. Your grow space seems to be very clean and well-kept. I always like to see that. A lot of growers are slobs and treat their grow space the way a teenager treats their bedroom.
Happy growing!
We get pretty spoiled with HLG. Did I tell you what they did for my little 250W Veg Pro? The light had some paint flake off. I was stunned. So I called HLG and they were stunned too and I told them I was running her in an 80% humid environment; my clone tent. They said OH we don't conformal coat them and you need a conformal coating for that environment. So they let me continue to use my 250. They then conformal coated a brand new 250 and sent it to me and I sent them back my 250 (all postage paid by them)!
So does HLG make the most cutting edge lights? No. But I gotta say their customer service is second to none. Who else customs a board for some nobody and doesn't charge them a penny! I'm a huge fan. But I'll bet @CWF light will be fire and I hope it lasts for him. Then again when you're running bleeding edge you roll with the punches and often times it's worth it. But shit I only have a few more hours to order that Tomahawk. I'm off to drink my wine, lower my inhibitions and make my plastic melt
There are two complaints I have so far with this light....
1. They didn't even PREDRILL holes for the driver to screw into. When you place the driver on top of the lights and screw the screws, they screw into the light bar. Making scratches and dents. ALSO I noticed when you screw them into the light bars, the start to lift up, they don't really latch on all that well. It makes me worried if I decide to hang the light by the driver (reason #2) and it the screws slip off.....
2. They didn't put o-ring latches on the corners of the light bar. You can't use your rope ratchet unless you screw the o-ring screws into the driver. You have to rely on the V-Hangers they have to hang your lights that way.
This really fucking bugs me, I paid $700 for a light that took a while to get (shipped from China) and they can't even drill holes or come up with a system to attach the drivers without damaging the light.
I almost want to return these lights.

Well that all sucks to hear! Appreciate the info. Once light is up and growing,,,how’s it grow?
I haven't got to use it yet. Still building my room. I will post updates once I get my room running.
Reducing the drama on the forum, please take this to PM guys. Thank you.

I feel that too hard. I lost an entire crop (64 SHRUBS in 6" gro-blocks on top of Unislabs) of Chemical Bride that way. Beautiful coloration, massive super dense nugs that smelled amazing and were straight oozing with oils. Ran all the way to harvest, watched my humidity and temps closely. Had one cool night at about week 7 in bloom where the humidity spiked to about 65% and I figured they'd be alright. I went ahead and ran them the last two weeks and they were fading right and trich's looked good and cut them. I put them in the drying room and noticed an "off" smell. The crop looked amazing though and I saw zero signs of bud rot on the outsides. Well, I was bucking and moving the flower to the CV Vaults and started to break up buds that were just too big to leave as one big bud (most of the top colas were the size of a 16.9 oz water bottle). Sure enough, that smell was mold. The more I got into them, the more I found. I wasn't chancing anyone getting sick and wound up scrapping the whole run. I lost over 25 lbs of premium flower over one night of humidity and temp that allowed botrytis to get in. Now, I use redundant systems. If something quits, there is a back up.It's true that the bar lights are cooler running most of the time and I'm definitely curious to see what an additional 1088 LEDs in the same space (shown above) will be bringing. (Same or similar drive power)
Another reason why I run softer is that grey goo nobody wants to find inside...
There's such a thing as too tight to breathe nugs. Rock hard is good until it isn't!
