    Those guns for temp are accurate, just not precise. The laser has nothing to do with it but to help direct it. It is measuring ambient temperature. Those are perfect for what you were doing. The small diagram on the side of the temp gun explains it but a degree doesn't matter. Great vids bud.

    Well Justin I just received my 250 hydro and all I can say is wow! The brightness is incredible. I was worried about temp control but after 12 hrs it's constant at 22 degrees Celsius. Thanks to you I now have the last light I will ever need. Any of you guys on the fence about buying this system stop wasting time, this is the light that you want. Worth every penny is not something most buyers can say about leds but this one is

    Some of you more eagle eyed PAR meter owners may have noticed my meter was set to "sun" source and not "elec" source. I just replaced the battery and didn't realize it reset my settings, doh! Rather than reshooting the entire video I just tested again at 18" and it's about an 8% lower reading. So I guess I like this light 8% less LOL. Sorry but it's still a good light. Just wanted to be transparent. I also got this light for free to show you but as usual if something stinks I'll tell you how it smells.
    I also noticed that it says SP-200 on the light and on the brochure. I don't see any changes or differences in spec. I asked them and they told me that they changed the name but didn't have time to change the sticker and literature before shipping.

    Great review bud! I just ordered their 2x4 and about to order the SP250. Much better than the 1000 they put out. Love the look of the light. I like the Electric Sky 180 as well but the Mars is 100 less expensive. I'm sure there are quality differences but both only offer a 3 year warranty. Either way, I'm liking the Mars. Hopefully they keep building on their lights. There is actually a dimmer switch on the underside of the driver. Take it off the light and it has 2 black caps covering the potentiometers.

    • @Justintime2grow

      I agree with you about HLG’s pricing for their 260 kit. $72 more isn’t a lot for a higher-end light, especially considering you can use coupon codes from online growers making the cost go down. At that point, the difference in price is negligible.

      Yea that's where I'm at with it. That's really my only suggestion to upgrade it. The rest of it seems really nicely done actually. BUT I'm not going to judge it until something actually goes wrong. Tech keeps advancing and these diodes are different than the diodes of lights from past models. You can see a major difference and they look a lot more like the cree xte diodes that I have on my other light.

    I have a question about lighting systems. You always seem to give great advice about lighting so of course I thought of you when I became confused about my light question. Ok which light would be most beneficial for a 3x3 tent a NEXTLIGHT CORE or Ts1000 MARSHYDRO? And please if you have a better choice for a product within the $300 to $500 range preferably in the lower range I will greatly appreciate your advice?
    Sincerely

    • @Justintime2grow
      @Justintime2grow  5 років тому

      Nextlight is incredibly overpriced. That's a $600 light you're comparing to a $140 one. If you're looking to spend $500ish buy www.rapidled.com/cxb3590-3-x-3-grow-kit/. Based on my PAR readings a single TS-1000 will not properly flower a 3x3 fully wall to wall but you could use it and get some decent results until you can upgrade.
