Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, simple setup, reliable operation, good documentation, and responsive customer service make it ideal for new growers.
2×4 optimal, can stretch to 3×3 but with reduced intensity. Manufacturer’s 3×4 claim is for vegetative growth only.
Still excellent efficiency and reliability, newer LM301H EVO slightly better but LM301B proven and cost-effective.
No built-in daisy chain, each unit needs separate power and control. Consider TS3000 if you need daisy chaining.
50,000+ hours typical, 5-7 years of 12/12 flowering cycles, Meanwell driver and Samsung diodes ensure longevity.
