Yea, I have 4 xgs190's. It sucks, I'll never be able to buy replacement parts. Oh well, when diodes start going out, I'll hack it, and throw some quantum boards or cobs in it.

Those old a51 panels still are the next best thing to Boards and COBs. Used hps and original Philips retrofit cmh for years. It seems though that the old SGS160 keeps pace with the XGS 190 in flower!

Haven’t been able to justify not running the a51s along with several cob fixtures yet. Might as well get some use from them as they give a fine account of themselves. Also not a sellers' market on used LEDs. No problems in 5 years so when they begin to fail or I get the itch worse than now, I’ll replace with COBs or Boards or whatever the next wave of lighting may be.

Yes, I am of the Past as we are all the sum fo our experience and gifted with the cumulative knowledge of our kind. Don’t you know?
