Check this out!!!

I can across this on Max Yield magazine!

HID SMART 6

I emailed them about their freedom tehcnology and got this reponse.

"Our micro-controlled technology breaks up any pattern in switching from light to light. It is programmed to generate a random code and switch all lights within a 60 second time span but will not repeat any pattern of switching for 500,000 years. To answer your second question, this unit is designed for streamlined operation. This means two 12/12 areas, and a separate 18/6 area for the fast turn times. We will have an 18/6 controller soon that will offer a less but effective version of the FREEDOM TECHNOLOGY incorporated as well.

I'll post a review of the controller after i play with it, i ordered a 10 to 20 switcher!

seems like a high tech flipper? they got me on the freedom technology part, i hearing about the pattern recording by energy companies.

$900.00 for a timer!!! A little steep for me. Good technolegy way over priced.

if I could afford $900 for a friggin' timer, I would just pay somebody else to grow my pot for me ... and, smoke it in my limo :jointsmile: .... ooops, edit-time ... I see now your name is 'BMWboy' ,,, that explains it $$$$$$$$$$ :D

seriously dont buy that. they are plants. they do not give a shit. water them. feed them. thats all.

you guys are crazy! save me the cost of buying 10 ballasts, capp controller i was using already cost me 750 bucks, plus it seems the technology on this one will keep my azz safe also. no one seems to read anything anymore.

Im not totally sure why this is so awesome for you (im kinda tipsy and im sure im over looking something)

but totally arseome for you mang.

I read it and it will only work if your running 2 or more flower boxes. Will not help for 18/6 veg cycle.

To add a little more. Only if you are running a extreamly large opperation or a commercial greenhouse would it justify the cost.

then you state save me $750.00. IT COSTS $900.00. I don't see any savings. There is no energy savings unless you are billed by demand and usage as far as I know only commercial buildings are billed that way not residential.

The other thing is that it is a very well worded sales pitch to get you to buy something for $900.00 where as if it sold for $250.00 they would still make a good proffit. IMO.

Well, it saves you the cost of six ballasts. 6x$400=$2,400 (saved on ballasts) $2,400-$900 = $1,500 initial savings + whatever you didn't have to spend on multiple timers.

But, in the long run, the ballasts would wear out twice as fast so...

I liked the part where it cost $400 to install three receptacles but only $150 to install two. That last 3' of wire really drives up the cost of a job.:D
