Has anyone researched Lighting Electric llc. They are suppose to be able to get you a $1700.00 light for $130.00 with rebates from your electric company. I have not contacted them just wanted to know if anyone has.
I have a question on rebate lighting

enough said.
If it's too good to be true...it's probably just that.
@Gardener022
you probably want a good led
have a look at a couple sponsors. good led is not cheap. and no one offers money from a third party.
@Budget LED @NextLight come up strong
@PhotonTek Lighting is the new kid
@Mars Hydro is the budget go to
expect results and prices at their industry level.
there are also diy alternatives if you are handy and / or techy. i usually run my own led rigs as do a number of folk.

What is your take on the Mars Hydro TS 1000?
I chose MarsHydro, personally. The budget go to, as mentioned and with good reviews. There is a rep here on the site and a discount being a member here. Added that to the blackfriday sale and i couldn't pass it up. I got a new veg and flower light. I will be expanding in the summer with a 2nd flower light and for $250 you probably couldn't find a better, cheaper light for a 4×4 area. (3×3 for flower) LED is keen for a person with potential heat issues during summer time.

If you do not mind me asking which led did you purchase?
budget light.
decent results and limited lifespan are mars hallmarks.

i won't shit ya they pretty much go as i listed.
everyone has a wallet they have to answer to though. pay up front. pay at the back. pay all the time.
hint: first one saves the most.

I went with the TS600 for my little 2×2 veg section. Just something to get seedlings going and established. Then i opted for the TSW2000 for the flower. My grow room is small and room is at a premium. Limited life span? Probably, given its electronics. 
i figure $20 a month saved is enough to replace 1 annually if necessary. That way the replacement won't hurt the wallet or dinner. I do not grow indoors. I have...but not recently. Sooo...i am just jumping on this learning curve.

I opted for the cheaper lights given all the other things i need to purchase to get this indoor grow running. If i didn't have to buy a wall heater and an AC and fans compiled with the cost of lights, i may have chosen another light. Mars worked for my budget at the time. That may change once its all established. Budget was the other i was looking at. It wouldn't make sense to drop all that cash and not be able to run it year round. That's why Mars was best for me at this point.

What’s your goals for the light. I started with 2 and still use them for veg/seedlings. I flowered under them only one time..

I want to use it for flower only. I would like to use it with a 4x4 grow tent. So do you use them both for veg and flower or one for each of them.

In a 4x4 you will need 4 of the 1000s since they only cover 2x2 at 18” at that price you could get 1 TS3000 to cover the whole area in 1 unit. I wouldn’t flower under my TS1000 again at all. I run them for veg only. I just assisted on a sativa harvest in a 4x4 under a ts3000 and I guarantee he comes in around 19ozs from a single plant.
With lighting - best to start out what you can afford. Look at the sponsors as mentioned.
Then hone your growing skills.
Everybody grows to their own style. So over time you will figure out what works best for you as far as growing style. As you grow so will your grow room.
I see a lot of folks jump it with 2 feet and spend a ton of money up front never grew anything indoors at all. All good. Whatever works.
I went in with a tight budget many years ago. LED lamps were just getting started.
I started out small built up as I got better and figured out my style.
Progression.
Always raise your bar.

How do you get the discount from the sponsors?
Go to the main menu and go to the sponsor's page. Find your selected sponsor and i found Mars' promo code on their icon. I haven't looked for any other.

These rebates are common for commercial applications. There are a bunch of requirements for it though from what I remember. Very doubtful they would offer a rebate for a personal setup.
We make some awesome lighting. Any questions please let me know.
