Yeah, mine has the same unused band in the dimmer. Still nice that the dimmer is built in. I have mine turned down to ~350W due to my tops being so close to the light.
Different grow styles account for difference in overall happiness with the 600-R. A light that doesn't have a consistant...

A Lazarus Thread, I know, but the OP's intent makes it worthy of resurrection. I'm in the mid-Willy valley and would love to connect with other home growers in my area to share resources. Does 420, or other venues, provide a way of making local connections? Any other OR folks interested?
