Inda-Gro is not going to be as cheap as a China direct. China steals their look and sells them for less but the difference in the way the lights perform over your plants with IG and their phosphors is well documented and no matter what happens during the 10 years you own their product it's going to dealt with by a US manufacturer built in San Diego. When it comes to induction grow light technology China is at a decided disadvantage in this market.

So you're going to save $3,400 on three Super Teks over a single Inda-Gro. Let's see how that works out. A Pro-420 from IG will run $795 that means you're going to pick up each SuperTek, landed in the USA for $225 ea. If it's the SuperTek Pontoon combo these guys don't have a clue how those work. They sell you an LED strip that alternates 660 and 730 with no battery backup on the 730's. They simply do not understand what the Pr-Pfr switch is meant to do in flowering plants nor do they care.

Oh yeah and they'll save you OVER 80% (section 2 para 2)over an HID grow. Which BTW you can open ANY of their product specs and they all claim an 80% savings....

The bulb isn't the issue, usually the ballast right??............I mean the chinese have been making induction/"fluoro" bulbs forever now.

WTF are they using for all the retrofits(LVD??) their doing in the major cities..........PROC isn't going to take large premature failures lightly.:)

But I agree Indagro is without question the best induction fixture on the market imo.........getting the "rare" phosphors stateside will always be an issue.

I think they use yml retrofit bulbs. Even lower quality than lvd. The width of the glass is very inconsistent . Thinner on corners and on circular bulbs.
