Nice review. I just had one of these delivered today. Can't wait to see how it performs

I'm trying to order your Array 4 right now, waiting on chat to answer me back. Thanks for doing what you do Shane.

Looking LIT! 🔥🔥🔥

Very nice. I always wished they’d add reflectors. They used to sell add on ones for a after purchase with their diy kits . 😊

Great light, great chips!!!

Over 2100 PPF output with photon efficacy of 3.06 µmol/J. Simply amazing, we're excited for the release!

Great review. Given the high amount of red in the spectrum, the Diablo X is geared toward flowering rooms/tents. HLG said they created this spectrum for growers that wanted a bit more red and less blue since HLG spectrums tend to be strong in the blues. Both Scorpion models are quite efficient due to the thick blues in the Diablo and the tall reds in the Diablo X.

So i can't chose between 3 lights. cost and efficiency don't matter. 5x10 tent with 2 lights, only wanting what the plants will be happiest with for best growth best yields. Can't chose between this, glm tarantula, or diotech 830w. Any suggestions for me?

Cheers Shane.

I wild guess, but I see something like this combo using reflectors easily replacing the bars which have black holes in between . Actually think the move may also include back to panels, just not sold on the bars by themselves

Very impressive!

I just got one from my bloom tent. I’ll give an impression after a week or two. Lots of work ahead. Time will tell and I’m sure I’ll be happy with the Reds. That’s all I wanted to find out the end product of organic craft grown

Hello from Colorado ! Great review. Considering the information on red light and far red light we got in the Bugbee video, when would you use this light? Its advertised as a flowering light because of the red spec but.. there's no solid evidence that far red spec increases flowering size or causes earlier flowering. Thanks!

Id love to see you do an amazon budget light test on some of the more basic or cheap brand lights including greenfingers!

Will you be reviewing any Fohse lights in the near future?

Any way we could get a medic grow fold 6 review?

Hi can we get your take on the lumii black 720?? Thanks

I'm new at your channels and it's great! Hey I was wondering... What if I use Mirrors instead of Mylar? 🤔

Love the reviews and all the work you put in testing all these set ups, i would love to see you test the rt2hk leds there 480w is nicknamed the hlg killer so would love to see them tested propperly

Hey Shane.. Love yr work.... I thought the standard for heights was to dial up 1000 at centre by changing hanging height..... So i can compare apples with apples can you retest at the normal standard of height governed by 1000 at centre... thanks hope i don't sound stupid

What do you know about the SAMPHON 630W LED?

So what height and power percentage would it work for veg

I’m running the Gavita pro 1700e led, I’m not sure which calibration I should select in the app, can you help me out please? Thank you!

Can u take a look at the mammoth series please thanks 🙏

How would the thinkgrow model h plus fair

Does anyone know what grow lights are compatible with all these greenhouse controllers? I cant seem to find an answer. Lets say I wanted a greenhouse with 20+ lights, What program can control them to add supplemental lighting depending on the amount/lack of light. (basically something would measure the available light in the greenhouse and adjust them as needed)

Please do the Gavita Pro RS 2400e

Great review as always from migro at the other end of the price spectrum would love to see a test on the lumii black 720 not much info or reviews out there for it and how it works the pros/cons , a 720w led run using a 600w hps digital ballast for £450?.

What was the light that this one beat ? is there an updated list of the results for all the lights being tested >?

how abaut DIMLUX ?? i really need to see some test results :)

No heath dissipation off any kind ?? I don´t know it that would run too much time...

which is better the Photo Tek XT 1000 CO2 Pro or this HLG Scorpion in a 5x5 or 6x6 area? thank you keep up the great work

Very good name I like your style

Wow. We reached efficiency which need to be continued evolved.... What is the physical limit for Lumen/Watt?

How would you recommend using your UVB light setup in addition to a light like this that covers so much of the canopy? Would you hang it from the side? Or would overhead still allow enough uvb through?

Aloha & Two thumbs up to HLG and Samsung for the chips that make it cook! Gone are the days when we could cook a chicken off the heat of a double ended gavita hid. Did HLG forget to add a little far red?

Is this actually more efficient then Hps and mmh grow light?

Shane where are you we need more content! hope all is good

What's the difference between samsung and bridgelux diodes?

Is mars hydro TS1000 still up to bar these days?

I have a 4x4 bed but i am in a room not a tent. Would you recommend the Scorpion Diablo X or the Photontek XT 1000 C02? i have the ability to supply CO2 to room as well. It seems like the addition of the reflectors might be a better situation for me given the direct light to the canopy. I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into testing these LED lights. Much Love.

Would you recommend the New Scorpion Diablo or The new Scorpion Diablo X for full cycle seedling to flower?

Sweeeet babbbby jeeeesus 🤤🤤🤤🥵💯💣💥

Another I would rahter run at at lower power in a 4x4 instead of a 5x5. Still convinced if ure growing in a tent larger than 4x4 multiple modules are the way to go.

Wow 😳

juicy, Shane i hope you are developing a new style of fixture that is even more efficient, wish i could work with you to make an even spread, seems simple to me

Which light is better this or the tarantula vulcan ?

I'd like to see the chart at 24" or 30". Those heights are probably more accurate to the height you would have to hang that light in a grow tent using full power.

What an amazing light! One thing I wonder about is how much heat does a light like that put out?

As far as i know big grow ops rarely use these fictures.. Its usualy cmh or led bars

Man I'm addicted to LEDs.

Any plans to review the HLG Blackbird?

Great ! Please my friend test the AIR GROW PRO III "HYPER RED" of FUTURE OF GROW (FOG)

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

When can we expect to see migro ligths with samsung evo, thats what im looking for 😊

So gml 1300 hlg 1299 lol from frenzy to foes

With a light spread from 490 to 1350, I'm not sure how even I would consider that.

I gotta let you know your website is acting up. Will not properly load to shop for products

The issue for me is picking the proper LED. Sure this looks great, but at 1,200$ how does this compare to a number of high rated 600-800$ units? I can get 2 Mars-Hydro FCE-8000 or Spider Farmers SE7000 or others for the price of the Diablo X here; which people are getting epic results from.

2.89 wow

Would you ever consider testing grandmaster lights ? I would like to see that one .

that unit looks serious..

Gml New tarantula

Looks like HLG took some ideas from the photobio mx and Mars Hydrio

That grin on your face made it obvious that you like stirring up a competition how long do you think it will take for someone to get over 3 m.m I never thought I would see over 2.5 it's getting to the point where it makes sense to stay where you are and give them time to get as high as possible and then the price competition starts 5hen we can make our purchases . It will never be enough I'm going to enjoy the race 👍

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good light, a certain ''competitor'' of HLG based in good ole' Canada will not be very happy... anyhow, I would love to see a great 500 watt light with this efficiency, hopefully a project for Migro in the future now Energy prices in Europe are skyrocketing, a 500w light vs a 700w light does not decrease quality by that much but it does decrease the electricity draw by quite a bit...

New video please thank you.

Looks like an awesome light! Love the idea of the reflectors as well, especially for an open footprint setup. 👍 Looks like, from the PPFD map that the reflectors make it a much better choice for a 4x4 footprint than a 5x5 though. Would be interesting to see a test in a 4x4 with reflective walls to see how much the built in reflectors actually direct the light down vs out to the sides/reflection off the walls. 🤔

lets compare it to the ARRAY 12

Spectrum king SK600

This vs photonteks finest!

I don't understand how HLG hasn't developed and released a bar style light yet? Nearly all companies are doing it and "even spread" is all the rage. As it should be. ✌️

That's a lot of 4 digit numbers in a 4.5' x 4.5 ' area. 😎

finally they realized a block of aluminium weighting half a ton does not equal efficient heatdissapation

Can you all pitch in for mine? Hehehe

Cant wait untill yall get a hold of mammoths new mint white 880w. That's gonna be the one to look out for.

Oh man grandmasterlevel is not going to be happy with this one, this fued is going to raise the bar on leds cuz now gml has to come even stronger

Switched from a hlg 550 to two mars sp3000s. My yeilds are so much better with mars. I was lucky to pull 2 in a 4x4 with hlg. I bet I can get 4 with mars in a 4x4. Was kinda shocked my mars are better then my hlgs.

GML will be spitting feather 🪶 🤣

42% red sounds like a lot

I have a question, what is your opinion on the following statement by scynceled: But wait a minute….a plant is not a flat surface. So why do we use these sensors? Mainly because there are really not any other options. Licor makes a spherical quantum sensor ( LI-193 ) that is designed to measure underwater light and looks promising for use in horticulture, but hasn’t been fully tested or vetted out in this application just yet. According to Licor this sensor measures, “Photosynthetic Photon Flux Fluence Rate (PPFFR) or Quantum Scalar Irradiance. This is important, for example, when studying phytoplankton, which utilize radiation from all directions for photosynthesis.” The last time we checked, plants utilize radiation from all directions as well. Let’s bring the conversation back to what this means to those of us today that need to measure light energy at our grow facilities. Most meters measure light from about an 80° cone ( +/- 40°) which works great in 99% of applications, specifically those with HID/HPS and bare LEDs. Scynce’s lights fall into the 1% category where traditional light meters don’t tell the whole story. The image to the left demonstrates how a light sensor captures energy emitted under a 40° angle. Most of the lights Scynce makes use a 120° full width secondary optic that emits light at 60° in each direction. That means that 70% of the light emitted from a Scynce light is unable to be captured by a hand-held light meter accurately. scynceled.com/blog/how-much-light-is-your-plant-really-getting/

🍿🍿🍿Comment section.

id rather use both gml and chilled and mammoth evo

Wont work with Trolmaster, since HLG have dropped the other driver Meanwell to another brand of driver Inventronics

6 groplaneer 150s in same setup would be certainly as good light wise

Cool light but way out of my price range

missing the whole middle of spectrum .looks like a re tagged mars hydro.way over priced for a blurple light worth about 450 tops

Good review, Shane. My Chinese friend said he could build it for $275.00. Or have it built in China for under $500 bucks. Why the mark up on price ? 🤔

I doesn't do any better than spider farmer or mars hydro bar lights. Twice the price

GOOD GOD, IT IS EXPENSIVE!

I can take 12 of the Waveform 10watt led bulbs....make an array with 6 bulbs on each side in parallel formation separated by about oh 4 inches....where i have 3 of the 6,500k and 3 of the 2,700k staggered on one side, and then of course 3 of the 95+ CRI 6500k pure sunlight kelvin and 3 of the 2,700k 95+ CRI 10watt led bulbs staggered on the other side. 12 bulbs in total....all of them 95+ CRI certified R90 or better. And i will grow circles around all of you....muwahaahaahaha!!!!

So now HLG is copying the Mars approach to light reflectors.

C'est Q648 board pour commencer, ensuite il n'y a pas de lmb evo et pour finir t'es un amateur.

Aye no problem 1,200 pounds

Excellent light but not worth the price. There's just to many good lights way cheaper. Just my opinion though 🤷

People really need to take a look at the CCT of this fixture, and consider it it's even suitable for flowering. Not sure hitting high efficiency with a useless spectrum is a worthwhile trade off.

Clearly reflectors works in LEDs
