Finally getting started with my postings. I received my SolarStorm in May and I have been eagerly waiting to use it. Had to finish my previous grow because I wanted to do a side by side comparison to my current HID. Just plugged in the light 2 days ago. Very impressed so far. Glass is cool enough to the touch and it runs extremely quiet. I will be posting my comparison data and overall happiness (cross my fingers) with this light as soon as I can start tabulating my results over the nest several weeks
I think you'll find that it gets too hot to touch when it's been on a while.
Tell us more about your current system/yield and plans for the comparrison?
