Good Morning All,
Here to write a review on my BML Spyder600, you can look into BML, I believe they are great company full of knowledge. I worked directly with the owner Nick. Nick is a great guy, he is very knowledgeable when it comes to lighting, so all of the nerds and techy's feel free to ask him any technical question, I believe he will be able to satisfy anyone's questions. I will put this out there, I do not work for BML nor do I receive any sort of discount, now if they want to give me one I'd take it cause their lights are not cheap, but I am happy paying for a good quality light.

I personally would rate the spyder 600 a 9 out of 10. Below are the reasons why
This light is very versatile, the light bars can be spaced out evenly or you can concentrate the lighting by pushing them all to the center. Not only do the lights adjust spatially, but also you can angle each light individually so you can literally aim it at your plant and as it grows you can adjust the angles. This light is very adaptable to any plant, whether you top your girl or let it grow naturally you can definitely make sure that all parts of your plant are getting light.
Secondly, they use 100% Osram LED lights made in America. This entire light is from American products, assembled in Austin,Texas. These lights are not being "drop shipped" from a Chinese manufacture. One note to consider, my spyder did take about 5 days to build but it only took 1 day to ship, I'm in Tx so that is probably why, but I'm sure if your willing to pay the additional shipping they would ship it any way you want.
No cooling fan, the light bars do get warm to the touch, but it does not raise my grow chamber's temperature or at least it is not noticeable. As long as you have decent circulation, there is no need for additional fans unless you are using them to train your girls.
Light spectrum, I really enjoyed the pre-selected light spectrum of the spyder, I do not claim to be a light spectrum expert, but I have read about light spectrum and I know this one does not include the far off red, but after speaking with Nick, I decided to go with the pre-selected light spectrum. It fit my needs; however, if you are very specific about your light spectrum but you don't want to order all of the parts and piece it together yourself, BML is the place for you. They have a bunch of different spectrums to choose from, even a naturally sunlight so you can grow indoors but have a pseudo sun OR you can literally create your own custom light bar. You are not chained to any spectrum, you can choose your own and even mix and match your lights.
As far as results, I am very pleased, I was able to pull 3 1/2 ounces each from my 2 plants of dry material. To me as an all LED grower, I was very impressed. If you search "All Organic Grow Strawberry Cough (dinafem) Skywalker (RP) you can see my Spyder in action. I do not use it for veg, it is only used in my flower room. I recently started my perpetual grow and decided to use the spyder for my flower room.
Now the negative aspects, or at least things that were annoying. This light literally comes in peices, you have to assemble it all. This is probably not a negative aspect to most, but I was really just wanting to "plug in and play". It was kind of hard to adjust the light as far as move it up and down, I am on a chain system, so its a pain the ass to keep moving the light away as the plant stretches in the first 3 weeks. I will probably go to a pully system soon, so its probably just the way I have it setup is why its a pain in the ass.
I will post pictures if you want more, but I do have some in my thread. I hope everyone liked the review, if you want to know anything else, just ask.
