Alright! Perfect temp for outdoor qwet. Funny, auto correct turned qwet into "were."
Bubba

That's becuz "were" is a word, and the dictionary and Himself (to boot) do not recognize "qwet" as being a word. Not to put too fine a point onnit, there are only four recognized 4-letter words that begin with "q" with no "u" following:

qoph <-- 19th letter of the jebrew alphabet
gadi <-- A judge in a Sharia court
qaid <-- A commander in the Norman part of Sicily
qat(s) <-- A shrub (you chew the leaves for a jazz)

I mention this so we can start a movement! Yup. Those four words are the ONLY four-letter words allowed in Scrabble that start with a "q" with no "u" after it.

qwet should be legitimized... or at least, sumbody should tell their Unca Walt what the ever-lovin' toe-jam qwet IS.

I have spent hours since earlier today's posting, (Several Hours) researching LEDS and can say I feel dumber and slightly pizzed about all the time I waisted. I am so fogged out it feels like I been mokin the weed all day long. Kind, IQ, Scorpion Diablo, Photontek... You name it. Wow. My brain is scrambled. 15 minute video here, 20 there... Everyone always has a better solution. There is a lot of bad stuff as it relates to warranty with Mars. Seen a lot of that. Who knows what to believe. I have had 10 windows open at once comparing back and forth. Holy Sheepshyt. It was sort of like that before when I just said F it and went with the viparspectras. I even searched several time LED here at the passion. The video of the guy from Utah State about put me to sleep in my chair. Good stuff - I guess he just had a soothing voice. Meanwhile I got nothing purchased. I am going to hold off on the Mars purchase. Just got the E about the paypal stuff from them. Budget between 8 and 1400 give or take. I know I dont want burples. I am going to hang here with you all for awhile and finally load a couple well deserved PH's. I'll go back into LED research mode in the AM. I dont want to make a mistake if I am going to potentially drop 1400 on a light. I like the style of the FC 8000 but. Enough.. Smoke Time and enjoy bud porn. Or maybe just regular um .. Naaa... Hahaha.

I would look into who manufactures the Diodes (leds) used to make each companies light, sometimes they are all the same (made overseas) .
The Mars light may have the same as the Proton6000(sp) . Also look at the drivers (power supply) who makes that also made overseas (china most likely) Meanwell Drivers are the best and most popular .
The Chinese have taken over the world on most electronics these days nothing we can do with the regime in the WH .
I built my own light using available parts and my knowledge (another option if you can do it).
HLG has kits and sell Quantum Boards that can be wired up cheaper then a complete unit. \

I should be smart enough to put one together. Just figured it would be extremely tedious work.

yep .. patience, room, and focus


my brother and I polished up a B17 Ham radio we bought in a storage room sale in '66 from a dismantled Air Force base clearing out .. I didn't have the patience but my brother did and got the thing going and then made a clone of it including all new tubes .. yep, it can be done

Most kits are easy, designing your own from scratch is a lil harder
You need to figure out how you want them wired (series or parallel ) and then determine the right size Driver to power them as to not burn the Diodes out.
Many sites on web to help figure that out.
I used a large aluminum cookie tray (professional type 1/8 " thick) I mounted 4 HLG Quantum panels to it , fit perfect, then I needed to wire all four in series (in my case)
and added a meanwell driver in the back center mounted.
All I needed after that was to install wire hangers at each corner of the pan.
You can go to Home depot and get aluminum j chanel (Looks like the letter "L")
Bolt them together to form a frame and mount panels to it, many ways to create one.

I can't hardly believe they had the balls to charge her. Maybe the house of cards is wavering.

Maybe this is where plea bargaining will take place. Tell all and we will reduce your sentence and move you to a kinder, friendlier, and safer jail.

For sure her life is in danger.............

To hell with all that crap. Just buy the damn light ready to go. There are plenty of choices. Several members use them. Get the names of the ones they use. Put them on a piece of paper. Put them in a hat and draw one out. POW,,there is your choice.
