Tried, Teste, and Dependable Drivers The high quality drivers used in all of the Budmas- terLED light systems run at a .5% failure rate. Simply put, BudmasterLED uses only the very best drivers and they rarely fail. Too many LED manufacturers take short cuts in their units’ drivers and this leads to higher failure rates and less uniform spectral outputs. The staff at BudmasterLED does it right; they use the best driv- ers available to ensure their units perform up to the high standards of professional marijuana growers. to remove heat from the units without creating a great deal of noise. The 2500 rpm, 33.5 CFM fans used in the Budmaster HC units operate at only 26 decibels and are waterproof. In other words, these units are designed for quiet operation and to be used in high hu- midity environments, such as that of an indoor garden or greenhouse. Waterproof and Low Noise Fans Loud fans are so common with horticultural LEDs that many growers have just come to accept it as part of the deal. However, it is possible to have quality fans First Impressions of the Budmaster HC I was very impressed when I opened the Budmaster HC. It was instantly apparent that this was not anoth- er cheaply constructed horticultural LED, incapable of living up to all the hype. This unit was spectacu- lar. From its rigid, yet clean, chassis to the perfectly aligned and directed lenses, there was no doubt that the Budmaster HC was the highest quality horticultur- al LED I had ever held in my hands. I plugged in the system and, holy moly, was it bright. The spectrum is warm, pleasant and defi nitely capable of penetrating deep into a plant canopy. Unfortunately, I have only had the Budmaster HC in my possession a couple of weeks and that is not enough time to complete an en- tire growing cycle. However, it has been a long time since I have been this excited to test a lighting system. Judging from my initial reaction and the plant’s initial reactions to the Budmaster HC, I’m confi dent I will not be disappointed.
