120 watt LED fixtures
- Thread starter spstimie
- Start date
The website said these would ship out of CA, but they didn't have them in stock, so they shipped out of China. They shipped out Monday and are scheduled for Friday delivery. They scanned in at Anchorage AK this morning so they may actually make it in time for weekend installation.
My excel bill was $100 more than any other month this year. And I have been taking things down. They also did a 32 day billing cycle for this month, F#$%ers! This whole extra tier payment in the middle of the summer is BS! I guess record profits quarterly just weren't enough for excel. Aren't they supposed to be regulated by the state? Guess we know who is lobbying our state reps!

They sent me a FedEx tracking number to my email. Check your spam folder maybe. As of 3pm AK time it was "available for clearance". I am guessing it is waiting on customs, but is still listed as "in transit". I am not getting my hopes up yet about tomorrow, unless I get up and it says "on truck for delivery". I just want it Friday so I can get them installed this weekend. When I switched from my 2x250 2x54 fixture to the current 8x54 fixture I saved $25-30/month from excel. I am hoping this will have similar results.
I know it's probably the exact same, but I'd like to see the color of the same ones I'd be ordering.
You can borrow the sensor though after I figure all this out, I ended up getting the apogee sensor and am using it with a multimeter, so far it's told me I need to replace my MHs or make the switch to LEDs.

Read somewhere that the Apogee sensor (the same as what is used with their PAR meter) can be ordered by itself, and used with a multimeter, you just multiply the mV reading by 5 to get PAR. The sensor is about 1/3 of the price of the full blown meter. I bought the SQ-110 sensor direct from Apogee.
Apogee themselves will back this up because they want people with more sophisticated dataloggers and computers to buy them.
So far, setup was simple and the multimeter is giving me reasonable readings.
I'd be happy to pass this around once I figure out what to do with my lights.
