Has anyone had issues with ordering from Advanced Tech? I placed an order for a 315w CDM kit from there two weeks ago and haven't heard from them or gotten a tracking #. I emailed them three times so far :/

With the 400 watt Philips CMH no longer in production these new ballasts and full spectrum type lighting seems really promising.

Any news? I ordered 2 kits on 4/4, recieved an email 4/11 with no tracking#. The reference number provided is trackable. I talked to the shipping co. they said that it is invalid. Called Thom from Advancedtech, he is having some health issues. He seems like a decent guy, my only gripe is, if you can't ship your products because of said health issues don't accept new orders or payments. I really want my order. I'll give it till the middle of next week, then I'll ask for a refund and buy 2 complete 600w hps systems for less, preassembled. Personally I want the 315s but I can't wait for months.

I got an email yesterday too saying that this week the orders were supposed to be shipping. So there's hope yet! I placed my order on 3-27-16.

I'm surprised no one is running those Dimlux expert series. I would have got 1 instead of the LEC if they where available when I bought the LEC.

Thought I'd share some pics of flowers under cmh(sunsystem lec)

They seem frostier than when grown under HPS....could be other factors though as this room's temps, air flow and exchange, and vpd are more dialed than the HPS basement

Then get your money back now Thomas is anything but quick,
6-8 weeks is not unusual. I had to open a paypal dispute just to get in communication with him. He'll get there eventually though.

This is why I may pay a few dollars more but ALWAYS support local mom and pop shops.
I've found that after a few years shopping the same decent shop they offer me near online prices and if say a ballast I buy from them goes out , no problem, they always have a loaner.
Support local mom and pop!

I like those dimlux. I'm done buying anything new for the flower room. . I just ordered another Phantom reflector 116$ no tax. 1 more to get then I can replace the 630 in the tent with 2 phantoms. I will move the 630 into the flower room but finding a good spot to place it might be difficult. Right now I have 1 Gavita 1k on the left side, 1 EPAP 1K in the center, 1 Gavita 1k on the right. Where would be a good place for the 630?. I was thinking in the center. I could take the E PAP out..

whats the dimensions on your flower room HH? I was thinkin bout putting one on a light mover in between my 2 gavitas in a 5x10. Let it go back and forth between the two gavitas, which are about 4 ft away from each other...

Flower room is 10x 12. I use probably 8x8 of that space. Gotta have room to work.

are all your lights centered over the 8x8? if so maybe you could push them back a little bit then put the 630 on a light mover going back n fourth the 6 ft centered between the 8 ft.
