Yeah Weez, I agree and most likely that girl on the phone probably does'nt have the ability or motivation to send out a test light. Also, they probably get asked alot for "free lights" I think they might have missed a big chance to have you test it out. But hey I guess if I had a kick ass LED light like theirs I would make people pay too! Seems people used to pay the $1500 - $1600 for their older less powerful one that did'nt have the new 660 nm red and like you guy's brought up in that other thread it's probably close to three procyons output wise and in a better color range for flowering so from what I can tell the $1,299 is a decent price. Obviously they would sell a shit load of them if it was half that price but I do think they are quite expensive to build material wise plus a 5 year warranty is always nice. Hey if I was made out of money and cost was no object I would buy a few in a blink. I think it's like anything else in life, you get what you pay for. Same with those TI Smartlamps & procyons which are by no means cheap and really in all calculations more than the lumigrow all things considered. The TI lights are both more to begin with and 3 Procyons would set you back $550 - $595 x 3 = $1650 to $1785 and even then would'nt have the right deep red or any white LED. Plus they are not the 5 watt LED's which obviously have greater penetration and are brighter than the 1 or 2 watt emitters. I do have to add though that for a small veg light in LED the Procyon 100 is a hell of a bright light and worth every penny.
