You suck.....We have been getting quite a few questions recently so we will address the FAQ here:
Does assembly add any cost to a light if a customer requests it? Currently, for 420 Mag members it does not add any cost. Our 65w, 120w Full Spec, All 250w SQ designs, and the 480 / 500 kits already come fully assembled. You just need to hang. For all other kits, it is two wire connections and mounting the driver to the heatsink.
Do you know how much extra cost there is to ship to Canada? It varies. Some customers pay more than others. Very few customers have given us feedback on all in cost with duties and taxes. We currently offer a flat rate shipping to Canada ($29.99 USD). We are working on Canadian distribution. The Canadian tax authorities are being a PITA right now.
Can you customize a kit so the driver can be mounted outside the tent and does it add cost? Yes we can and it does not add any cost for 420 mag members. When this is done, we lengthen the led wiring connection to the desired length. We can still fully assemble the light however you may need to disconnect the driver connection to unwind the wiring. You still will need an area to mount the driver (screws and what not are not included). We suggestion a simple cookie sheet with a cookie rack to set it on. Then point a small 6" fan on the driver to keep it cool. Keeping it cool will increase the performance and life of the driver.
Do you coat the LED diodes? Currently no we do not. We have the capability but it impacts performance and it also makes a future repair a real pain if it came to that. We have found through testing, as long as you are not showing inside your grow space, the LED's last a long time. At some point we will offer it or will offer a lenses. Both are in testing now. Our Series 3 LED's come with anti-sulfurization (water resistant).
Where do you ship from and service from? Michigan, USA. Any communications, light building, servicing, and shipping is done in Michigan. If you are getting late night responses, it is because we take turns at who manages our social media in the evening. More than likely though on here (99% of the time), you are talking to Justin. Justin is one of the owners (and currently the President) of Budget LED and very passionate about the cannabis industry.
Where did the name Budget LED come from? When we started, it was kind of a play on the word "quantum" and combining our desire to offer the best LED grow light someone could buy with their "Budget".
Now I wanna spend more money
Lol
Great info....
