I was bitching about this myself recently, and yes dials would help out quite a bit. I dimmed my TSW-2000, and really have no idea how much power is still going through them. Approximately 75%?Thanks for tagging along everyone. I will do pics, just since this is a light review, I'm still unsure how to frame the pics etc. I'll work something out.
944, I can say that 75% of the electric does not equal 75% of the heat, it is far less than that. I can't talk about performance yet though.
Mars, seriously, the screwdriver into a tiny hole thing to adjust power is not a good move. How much would it cost to connect those screws to a simple metal dial? £1 , £2, add it to the customers cost and they will thank you for it.
The addition of an on/off switch would add another quid or two, that no one would grumble about.
They are my only two gripes at the moment. I'm about to unplug for the night, and put the heating on for a couple more hours, its chilly, or perhaps I'm just acclimatized to HPS living now.
I use the much smaller TS1000 and it's been really good so far.
Harvest is upon me, we'll see very soon.
Keep it up GMT, good stuff, good read.

I took the gelato this morning. I'll do pics of buds when they're dried. I'm not a fan of the gelato buds.

Yes buddy use it to flower too. I had 8 hlg quantums in 2700k & 3000k and in center i had a mars ts1000 that had a more whiter kelvin tone . the buds under the mars light had more crystal formation than my more red boards.. So ya use that same light just lower it to a foot above canopy as a starting point. Watch for bleaching n burnt leaves. Plant will tell u if it can handle intensity.. Good luck
