Which one is he selling? Fluence is a quality brand.
He has it for $1,200 I think? so I’m assuming the better one than the spyder. I’m about to go up there and look at it. I was going to pull the trigger on a timber redwood vs, which is roughly $900 with shipping... but I’m still debating.
It’s a spyder x plus w/ dimmer for 1600.
If that's the style you are looking for, you can get an Amare Bar8 with an RIU discount for $1,200. Amare also offers a 25% Military discount.
Well honestly I was going to get that Timber Redwood VS. it seems good and s cheaper choice at $856 with shipping. Was looking to spend no more than $1200. So the spyderx plus is out my range atm.
I was looking at the hlg 550 v2 or respec or whatever it is lol. I have a 300w Samsung strip led but not the 301s. I got it from the legendary nfhiggs himself. I wanted to try a different “type” of led aka cobs.
I would tell him you're at $1,200. You ARE buying a light, and these are the lights you are looking at. I think the lights I mentioned also offer free shipping. Anyway, he would be a fool not to work with you after saying that.
I would blow it up with a DIY then, seriously. You can build one hell of a light with your budget that would blow anything that a name brand will give you out of the water. IMO.
Those are great choices, too.
I’m at the point where I’m setting up so much and got a lot going on that I’d rather not try doing a DIY project right now. Rather just get it up and going ASAP tbh. I do plan to make some DIY lights for the sides and lower parts of my tent eventually. That’s why I was avoiding strips for the moment. And have a few different types of lights in my 8x4.
The 550 is etl listed now if that matter to you at all I don't think the timbers are
Fluence uses Osram diodes since Osram owns Fluence. https://fluence.science/fluence-bioengineering-acquired-by-osram/ If you are talking about the HLG 550 it uses samsung diodes.
Yeah looks like they use LG too
301b on the spydr 2i on the 2x and 2p they use 561 but I’m not sure if they are all 301b now. They are good about keeping up with the technology unlike most companies will just keep using the same diodes years later where fluence changes with the times
