@Hudson405, I engineer industrial grow facilities as well, so when I saw the Aries for sale at the early bird prices after filing a big grow with 1,000 FOHSE lights (A3i and F1v) I couldn't resist the sale.
It's a great light, I have no complaints. My auto grow before this one had the Aries for Flower and the buds were massive. I will say the hardest part is managing the light in early veg. I ended up hanging a white trash bag under the light to shade the young plants. Then once I flipped to Flower I was scared to increase the light as much as I should, but I'm catching up now.
My only real reference was my 315W CMH, and the Aries obviously blows it out of the water. It's a great light, do you have any specific questions?
