TONIGHT IT IS APACHE VS SUN ENGINE . OUR 300 WATTS VS THEIR 600 WATTS I CALLED APACHE AND SPOKE WITH A GENTLEMAN THERE. I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH OF THEIR LIGHT WAS USA COMPONENTS .HE TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE USEING MEANWELL DRIVERS FROM JAPAN AND CHINESE LEDS . THESE APACHE LIGHTS ARE ASSEMBLED IN CALIFORNIA ,THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA LAW ON MADE IN AMERICA STATES To be labeled as Made in America, a product sold in California must include only components manufactured and assembled in this nation. THIS MAKES NO SENSE . ARE THEY NOT SELLING THEIR LIGHTS IN CALIFORNIA . AFTER TALKING TO THEM THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE MADE LIGHTS USED BY NASA BACK IN 1991 ,WELL IT IS THE YEAR 2014 THAT IS 23 YEARS AGO. WE WERE ALSO USING VHS TAPE PLAYERS . I TRIED TO GET A SPEC SHEET AND SPECTRUM . IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE BY WRITEN REQUEST . THEY SAY THEIR LED IS THE MOST POWERFUL LED ON THE MARKET ,YET THERE ARE NO SPECS OR REPORTS ON IT ,WHEN I ASKED WHO MAKES THEIR CHIP ,I WAS TOLD ITS A SECRET BETWEEN THEM AND NASA. WELL SOUNDS LIKE A BUNCH OF SMOKE AND MIRRORS TO ME . THE REPRESENTATIVE ALSO SAID WE DONT PUT THAT INFORMATION ON OUR WEB SITE BECAUSE WE MOSTLY SELL GREEN HOUSES . I WAS LOOKING AT SOME OF THEIR GREEN HOUSE INSTALLS ,AND NOTICED A HUGE ENGINEERING FLAW . THEIR LIGHT IT HAS A SURFACE AREA OF ALMOST 2 SQUARE FT. IF YOUR GREEN HOUSE USED 1000 OF THESE LIGHTS THAT MEANS WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF , YOU ARE MAKING SHADOWS OVER YOUR PLANTS OF 2000 SQ FT AT NOON SUN . SUN ENGINE MAKES OUR MODEL 200GH ITS FOOTPRINT IS ONLY 8 X 8 INCHES AND MOUNTS TO BEAMS. VIRTUALLY NO SHADOWING AND ONLY 200 WATTS . I KNOW THIS IF APACHE TECH SELLS 10,000,000 IN LIGHTS HERE IN THE USA THEY ARE SENDING A LOT OF MONEY TO CHINA AND JAPAN. IF SUN ENGINE SELLS 10,000,000 IN LIGHTS 10,000,000 STAYS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. IT SEEMS THEIR LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY IS A LITTLE OBSOLETE . AND DEFINITELY NOT AN ALL AMERICAN PRODUCT .EVEN KNOW THEY WOULD LIKE YOU TO THINK THAT . WITH THE PICTURE OF THE FLAG AND AN ASTRONAUT. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPORT FROM OUR FRIENDS AND GROWERS .
