The BadAss Blades doesnt power itself back on after a power failure. I wouldnt exactly consider that real growing equipment. I dont trust that company to do a damn thing to ensure their BadAss line is up to par with industry standards as long as they can put a few bucks into marketing to potheads with cartoons and bad ass bud product names.
Fuck them! I bought the fan and sent the shit back!

I, for one, agree with the "...Fuck them!" part of the above.

Ran 15 Bad ass and 16 hortilux... BadAss is junk. They took the cheapest bidder and stamped a cool logo on it. Both my Badass Blades broke... no more figure eight... and they both broke on their own... cheap POS!! The bulbs seem meh at best. Save your $ and buy Hortis or Ushios
I will say AN makes some fine finished chem hydro if you run the right lineup and flush diligently.
