So i was super pumped to go give there solar extreme a try. I gave my card number, email, and number to a guy named Adam last thurs afternoon. I was told my lights would be in by this Friday, a week and 1 day after order date. I had heard nothing but great things about customer service from them. So here we are a day shy of a week later and I have not received an invoice or email from them saying my order was being processed. No money has been takin off my card. I have since then left several voicemails with different ext of the company and have had no luck with anyone returning a phone call. Long story short even tho this is only my experience, don't believe everything you hear about this company. I'm a day before my promised delivery date and still nothing. Im in a real bind with my girls entering week 4 of flower and not enough light Can anyone els recommend some equivalent lights or light company. My mars hydro aren't getting the job done in flower and I need some more light ASAP. Trying to flower a 4x8 area with a $1000 budget.

if you are inclined to diy, head over to the led section and start reading. youtube has plenty of good build videos too. with a 1k budget, you can diy some pretty serious light for a 4x8. but if time is a factor and you want something pre-built, check out hlg or cobkits

If i were you i would go the diy route.

Buy 12 of these = $480.00
https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SI-B8VZ91B20WW/1510-2229-ND/6676693
(10 or more and they are only $40 each)

Or the 2` version
https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SI-B8V521560WW/1510-2221-ND/6624005

Buy 2 meanwell 480w drivers @ $ 137.00 each- $274.00

a few frame parts and some wire and your off to the races.

Beast of a light @ 960 watts from the wall, and excellent coverage.

Pacific lights concept also has a great photoboost strip thats performing very well. @Greengenes707


Theres even cheaper options for strips if you didnt want to spend the $$ on the f series. Bridgelux sells cheaper strips, cutter is cheaper and have some nice options. @welight
