Johiem · May 1, 2022

First a shout out to @Spiderfarmerled for hosting their 420 giveaway here on RIU. I won the grand prize, Spider Farmer's #SE1000W THANK YOU!!

Life has forced me to wait before I could get this beast set up, but the time has come!

Johiem · May 1, 2022

Unpacked and The Build has started. It is a bit daunting, all the pieces, but let's roll!

Johiem · May 2, 2022

It'll be tomorrow for the lights on pic. I'll.be running a flip as to lessen stress on the electrical system.

I've run into a hiccup, I'm awaiting their response.

Is it a 240 volt light? Looks like it is. Are you trying to power it up in a 115 volt outlet?

Johiem · May 3, 2022

Looks like you may be onto something

Johiem · May 3, 2022

So now I have to run a 220 back there?

crimsonecho · May 3, 2022

why would they send a 220v unit to a us customer? thats strange

Bummer dude...I'm glad it's not broken though.

Lets see how long it takes to correct…..

At least you can scrutinize the actual build quality.

Question: Do those bars have their “ famous “ optical coatings on leds ? ( clear coat as i call it )

They look great! Solid frame, their LEDs are sealed. I just don't have a spare 220 outlet, much less one that looks like a 110.

What does the specs on your actual driver say? Are there a couple listed?

In my experience my HLG 550v2 Rspec crapped out not even a year in and my SF4000 that was right next to it has still been humming along.

So I personally think Spider Farmer especially for the money are pretty damn nice!
