I already have perfectly good working lights dude. Buying expensive (and heavy) new lights, shipping them at significant cost, and figuring out a way to beat customs charges... all just so that I can use a specific lighting controller definitely seems like a false economy to me. I will not be doing that anytime soon
Right on, im just saying that its easier to beat customs than most people think.I already have perfectly good working lights dude.

Point taken. I do sometimes ask suppliers to "cook" the invoice for me, but there is a limit to how far you can go with this without getting caught out. Sometimes the customs officials in this country actually go online to check the value of items and they can use their own valuation for charging instead of the value quoted on the invoice.
Youre right, ill rewrite the programs later today to reflect this. My light isnt up yet, just dialing in the controller before getting rolling.
I just bought the 550 and did not buy the controller. I really wanted to but money honey. As soon as I replace the money I just spent I will buy the controller. I figured that the basic light was designed first and the controller was a refinement. So I will get refined later. It was heavier than I expected so your shipping would be high....I already have perfectly good working lights dude.

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay?I just bought the 550 and did not buy the controller. I really wanted to but money honey. As soon as I replace the money I just spent I will buy the controller.

That's cool man. Congrats. Feel free to post a pic of your setup in my CLW ss550 grow threadI just bought the 550 and did not buy the controller. I really wanted to but money honey.

Here you go man, this might help. Malocan took some spectrum readings at different times of the day.
I paid $750. I did Price Waiter on line and got $50 off. They turned down my first offer. Ordered from Hydrobuilder. The Controller is abt $200.
That's good because there must be a billion different combinations it would drive me nutszoid!!
Quick calculations bring up 1,180,000,000 different combinations.
