Hey what’s up DGC,
Hope it was a good cup. I watched some of Pedro’s streams, looked like a good time! Hopefully I’ll make it down one year, from the cold wintry north.
Anyway, I was watching the Adam Dunn show on Friday and heard about a new LED. Company is called Revolution micro. They make a double ended and some other lights too. From some quick searches, people seem to like the DE. Their LED looks pretty amazing, but it hasn’t hit the market yet. It’s dropping this summer. it’s fully tunable to change the Spectrum, can run from as low as 30 Watts all the way up to 1150. And its retail price is $899US. They say it’s the first LED to compete with the double ended. So it seems like a really good light, and amazing price point. But is it too good to be true? Obviously it’s hard to tell because it’s not being released yet. But can anyone check the specs and see what they think? (Guru?)
Or has anyone got personal experience with any of Revolution micros lights? They also just posted a pre-sale on Instagram, where is you order before June 1st, for a July release, you get it for only $599. I’m really tempted, going to think about it. Please add any input you have!

Thanks! ✌
Looks good, but they need to publish more data, warranty info, etc.
Yep I’m sure more info is about to get released as they seemed to be finalizing details. Hoping to hear more on the ADS about it too. Just wondering if anyone else has heard of it too.
First time for me, but I am going to contact them, I want to see if their controller works with this light too. I could get two of the lights plus controller for $1500, and I am in the market. Either this or two HLG 550s, that’s what it is down to right now.
Hey Dabney. Was great to met you at the cup!
I run two 4×4 tents. I have a roughly equal amount of LED in both. I have an SK 400+ and an SK 100w CC in one, and two HLG 300’s in the other. The HLG’s are the most impressive lights I’ve ever seen. My next light will be an HLG 550.
The kid that was the rep for Hortilux was super-cool, but I was pretty unimpressed with the brightness of the LED he had there. Maybe there’s some tech behind it that my old, analog brain isn’t grasping, but my HLG 300 is (in my perception) WAY brighter. At any rate, think Guru is gonna test it, so might want to see what the Hortilux LED has to offer and at what price point.
Glad you guys made it home safe, and happy (light) hunting!!
Hey KT, good meeting you too! I was hoping that an HLG rep was going to be at the Cup. Dear Dabby and I are doing a lot of research. That Hortilux LED is way brighter than my current LED, and your HLG is even brighter? Damn man!
I contacted the folks that make the Avici, they said that two of their lights in a 4×8 would be more than enough. I’m hoping that they publish PAR data soon. I won’t need new lights until August, so I’m not in a hurry, but I want to make an informed decision. I noticed that they were calling it the “current state of the art” on the ADS. I like their controller, you can set the lights to mimic sunrise and sunset.
Man idk about any lights that have red and blue Spider-Man diodes anymore.
With HLG and SK killing it with full spectrum light anf getting away from blurple less.
I’m in the mind set that blurple fixtures are the past and old tech.
But what do I know, I’m no expert!
And ChilLed have those somewhat blurple tint to em and are supposed to be really good.
But if they can’t beat HLG Lm/W and μmol/joule then I’d stick with HLG.
Don’t forget HLG has a new line of lights dropping soon. I think they called the Elite line or something like that.
I also just got some new 80 and 90 cri QB324’s. Stephen was on the GML show the other day saying these new boards I got are 11% brighter/stronger then the qb288’s.
