This is the light that really interests me.
I'm seriously thinking about buying a couple of these, so I am definitely interested your observations.

I'd like to see something more powerful than the SS, something in the 1000w-1200w (output) range. 200w is like a night-light.

I'm thinking 200w would be just about right for a micro environment.

I don't do micro-grows. I use more than 4 sqf for clones and mother plants and the 200w light probably only outputs 180w or less, I haven't seen the specs yet...

The specs say the 200w is really 165w so it's actually only good for around 3sqf, in flower.
