Yea that doesn't sound too promising especially for an expensive light. Please keep us updated on how lumatek handles it.

yer i have a good relationship with the shop i bought it from they are good guys and will bend over backwards for me no doubt about it. its a shame they dont have anymore instock or i could have just swapped the drivers. so like you say im hoping lumatek just send out a replacement driver asap so i dont have to dick about packing it all up ect.

Can you do them for the £
Maybe the £750 was for the one the apprentice dropped off the back of the tail lift on the delivery wagon.
Bummer.
I'm getting one, a soon to be North American version with in 110v.

Nice! The Attis or the Zeus?
If you chose by photons the zeus 600 pro hammers the HLG. And for high-light plants like cannabis, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PHOTONS BABY!

Yea it does look pretty badass but too expensive for me right now.
I decided to go with 2 315 cmh and 2 spider farmer sf1000 in my 5x5. I'm new to led and the spider farmer looks like a decent entry level light to get started with.
The LUMATK zeus 600w pro was selling in England for around 850 pounds but couldn't find a dealer willing to send one to the states. Lumatek will be selling American versions without the Lumatek branding in a couple months called the '1620u'. That's to solve trademark issues with another Lumatek company. It will be $800 for the first people who preorder, then $1000 per after that. So got my order in after seeing the Migro test on YouTube. Best light Shane of Migro ever tested so that's good enough for me to try one.
I saw the spider farmer test on migro and it looked good. Almost ordered one but ended up preordering a Lumatek North American version coming in a couple months.

It is the HPS ballast company right?
There are other Lumitecs all spelled different, i know.
Yes they sell ballasts and high pressure sodium bulbs. Web site is lumatek-lighting.com Now they have LED units, a 200 watt, 300w, 600 watt unit, a Zeus 600w Pro and a Zeus 1000w Pro. Still don't know who makes the LUMLED chips in the Zeus 600w pro. I thought it was Lumileds as in the regular 600 watt version but LUMLED is not just a misspelling of those Philips Lumileds. Wonder what's going on, never heard of LUMLED before. They tested mightily at migro...check it out.

The LumLeds are made inhouse by Lumitek i read. They are custom i guess. Kind've like the driver.
Shane's still running cobs # 100w & has only tested one Bar light but i understand.
Its a kick-ass looking unit for a great price.
If you bought one i hope you do a grow review on it. Pretty decent fixture for the $ it appears!

I thought LumiLEDs were made by Phillips. It might be a different spelling or something though.
Zeus 600 pro rebranded for the states within a month or two. Hopefully it'll last longer than some poor fellow's already croaking. That's spooky. But it's also all about the photons so we'll see how long they blast.

Those are in the basic 600 model.

Any further developments?well good start from lumatek...not!.
light arrived on monday, went together easy really impressed with the build quality everything was more substantial than i thought the heatsinks are nice and solid i expected light weight cheaper sinks. the lenses or waterproof coverings look crap they have cast lines in them hard to explain but they dont look the best quality.
the dimmer is shit why they thought it would be a good idea to just have - OFF,25%,50%,75%,100% is beyond me it makes getting an even light spread across the canopy when blending with other leds really hard.
i was going to try a different dimmer on it but never got the chance because today the light didnt turn on!, its dead jim!!!. i presume the driver is dead, tried changing the fuse ect nothing. unhooked the dimmer in case it worked like a meanwell where open dimmer circuit is flat out but no go.
so its back to the shop on monday to see how good lumateks customer service is...

yep all sorted. originally lumatec were just going to send a driver but there was a miscomuniction and they ended up sending a full light. there was a delay in getting the light sent out to my local shop due to the rep working from home due to the corona virus, the problem was raised monday and the replacement came thursday so not bad all things considered.
the guys from my shop just let me take the full light to make sure i got it back up and running but it ended up being the driver as i suspected. so i just have to put my old driver in the box and drop it back off sometime.
lumatec told my guys that this was the first return/problem with one of their zeus's.
