So the coupons wouldn't work for you in Canada? That sucks, have to be our neighbors but can't use our coupons!! Unfair.

Even if it worked on their dot com site the $ conversion, taxes and duties would likely kill it...
But, I will check

Different countries require goods to go through customs and import and export taxes, which increases a lot of costs.

I know there are several Canadian based led companies. Do none of them offer affordably priced lighting options?Even if it worked on their dot com site the $ conversion, taxes and duties would likely kill it...

A few others slipping my mind.
Could always search second hand also.
Just remember if the efficiency isn't super high your not likely to be very impressed vs hps. I'd say 2.5 + µmole

BC Blondes - $800 sold out
Grand Master Level - $700
Looking there too but.....
If money wasn't an issue I would just order a Phototek 600w, they come on sale for ~ $900
Keep in mind I'm used to a single light source in a parabolic reflector !
My plants are on castors and I'm used to turning them every day.
Mars Hydro FC-E4800 is a 480 watt LED with an efficiency of 2.8 µmol/j and a photon flux of 1331 µmol/s for $499 Cdn off Amazon dot ca.
What I really like is their remote control via an app, no more timer settings/malfunctions
And a decent par map from Coco for Cannabis. I train my plants to occupy a 2' x 2' footprint...

I'll tell you how to get a deal - Hit up GML directly. Explain your budgetary restrictions and tell him you are from RIU where is lights are very under represented compared to HLG. He loves to swing his dick like most in this business. Maybe a discount would come your way for a "verbal" agreement to showcase the lights here in your journal etc.
Never know, I personally have received and been offered tons of free shit just for the publicity. All of these led companies are hungry

The dirty little secret is that these mid range lights generally botch their numbers a bit, here around 10% on the mars:BC Blondes - $800 sold out
Grand Master Level - $700

Growdown! Mars Hydro vs Grow Lights Australia
This comparison has been almost six months in the making, but I think we can finally start. The side-by-side grow has just finished and we don't have the yield or cannabinoid levels yet, but we will be adding these to this thread once the final product has been fully dried, weighed and tested...
