I went back and checked the journal for the dates the beans popped and I have had it all screwed up... Shocking I know...... but the last bean popped it's head.... which was the one that still had it's hat on... so they hit dirt and they all popped on the 20th making the pics I posted up yesterday only 10 days old... I'm really good with that and now they look great to me... Fella and Nephew just got in and I have to send Nephew to the store first.... I don't want to go.... there's people out there.... a lot of em'...any how when he gets back he is going to fix the light for me so hopefully I will have it posted up later... Cross your fingers please that this fixes her........

​Everything will be up and running in no time,, exciting !! After reading the specs above (which I don't understand most of it.) that light is awesome.. anxious to see what it will do !

 

[Dennise]

It actually scares me a little Granny... This thing is huge and weighs something like 45 pounds.... and if each one of the 16 COBS is the most powerful on the current market... Holy cow there's 16 of em'.......

OK light is working except for replacing the chipped lens on one of the COBs... the box was apparently dropped so hard that it dented the casing and when I removed the broken lens to replace it with the new one I couldn't get it to thread and hold so I had to just put the broken one back in.... I am assuming the threaded part on the light was displaced when it was dropped... hence the chip in the lens.... and I can't get it pulled out enough from the casing to rethread with the new lens so everything is working fine just one of the lens has a small crack in the edge.... then I went to hang it in the tent and the hangers that come with it will not hold the light... 2 of them bent right off the connections to the light...... the light is just much to heavy for light weight hangers.... so I sent Jason a message and told him they will not work... I have my nephew on it and will make something work until I hear back from Jason for a permanent fix.... Just thought I would let you guys know I am trying........

I use the standard mounting clips attached to chain link and use Rope Ratchets to hang my LED light panels. I am wondering if you could use either Rope Ratchets connected to the mounting tabs or small carabiners/chain menders and chain to hang your Twilight Groups LED Spider16 COB LED grow light.

 

[Dennise]

That's exactly how I have the TopLed Mars II's hung.... but I actually used the hangers that came with the Mars II's which are much heavier grade and so far it is working great. I am going to leave it hung overnight before I put the girls in there to make sure the light is not going to fall on them but I am pretty sure we have it..... I actually tried to get them to do it with the chain and yo-yo but they already had it up this way and I can't seem to convince them this would be better.... and so far they are correct... it is working great and it is about as high as it could possibly go and I haven't heard a big thump yet and it has been up well over an hour.... I have to admit this has been a test of patience with me and I'm not known for having a lot of it.... but now that it is just about all done... Damn this thing is bright... 576x3w is a lot of friggin' light......

 

[grannyT]

Awesome !!! Not understanding how it's hung....do you have 4 rope ratchets holding it up or 2 ???
