Hey folks,
I took a look at the HSS website earlier, and noticed that prices have now been lowered significantly! Check this out:
Haight Solid State Price Drop
So, the 190 watt unit is now nearly the same cost as the old price for the 90 watt! Excellent! I've been waiting for these LEDs to crack the $3/watt ceiling, and now, HSS has finally done it.
This compares favorably with the competition, and makes the HSS PPF-800 the cheapest LED on the market now on a $ per watt basis among the quality manufacturers. (These prices include shipping):
LumiGrow ES 330W: $1299 ($3.94/watt)
TI Smartlamp 330W: $1395 ($4.23/watt)
Hydro Grow LED:
63W: $260 ($4.13/watt)
126W: $450 ($3.57/watt)
318W: $1175 ($3.69/watt)
---------------------------
I believe with their 140 degree spread that the HSS light can make an excellent ScrOG or SOG lamp; I just haven't seen anyone try to grow anything but bushes with this yet. Mmmmick or any other scroggers out there - this lamp was built for you!
The 90W unit always seemed too high to me by about $1/watt vs. everyone else; glad prices are starting to come down now. Hope the other manufacturers will soon follow suit!
I for one am glad that there are multiple products in the marketplace, and that people have options. Competition is good, as it serves to improve quality while bringing costs down, which ultimately aids the consumer. Let the free market economy do its thing!
Regards,
