Those deep reds actually give plenty of red light and the 3500K whits have a fair amount of red. This is a great light in veg and in flower. Personally, I wouldn't trade my Diablo based lights for anything! Well, maybe for HLG's newest next great light.

:bigjoint:
Ever run the Mars FC 4800 for testing ?. seems like good alternate for China.

Not personally, but I know people who have used them. Not bad for the price but they have a high failure rate and typical Chinese attitude towards warranties, people have literally been told to " just buy a new light" Ahhhh........ no thank you!

You'll need to wire them in parallel, there are diagrams on the HLG website that shows how to wire them.
With a CC driver? Did you mean series?
Edit: Or is this something specific to diablos? I used a CV driver, so they were wired parallel for that reason.
I thought the only special "note" was that wiring them with wrong polarity will fuck them up (permanently).

Sounds like Apple, actually.
-"My "H" key seems to be working intermittently, can you help me or fix my computer please?"
-"Sure, we are genius. Just buy a new computer! Or, an "H" key replacement is $2200."

Please elaborate on your “typical Chinese attitude”. Is it where they give opinions on something they never personally done?

Mars gives out free lights on here everyday, but they would have a problem backing a warranty?

and you have no personal experience only hearsay? Wow just wow :wall:

Is that your final offer? Or do you want to edit this another few times first, lol?
Don’t talk to me. We have been over this before. You’re only defending him because his plants are as yellow as yours. And he’s also racist. You really want me to embarrass you again?

Back to HLG stuff.....like my Diablo and how I'm going to get my VPD out of the 2's and down where it needs to be. I need some decent humidifiers for an average sized room with 4 tents in it.

I'm running 83 to 87F with RH averaging around 36%. I keep my exhaust fans on 24/7 which is probably why the lower RH. Hopefully a decent humidifier helps :eyesmoke:

If you're exhausting outside 24/7 if will definitely lower RH.
