Seriously appreciate all the input. I’m not sure I’m crazy enough to do this. lol
So main issues thus far:
Issues I see with that:
So main issues thus far:
- Patents getting in the way
- Other companies seem to be offering similar products, even if they are ridiculously expensive or not exactly what I’m looking for ( @sbreefco is coming out with a T5-esque light, BML had great ideas but they went into horticulture and never advanced the ideas, then the ones I mentioned previously )
- Market share & getting to a point where it’s profitable
- Then if those don’t prevent me from doing this, I don’t have the money to do this. Which seems important. lol
Issues I see with that:
- Patents, depending on what BML, Orphek, etc. have patented.
- How to get all the individual bars linked in the fixture system to operate as one, or enable individual channels of control.
- Can it be done for under $750, for a setup that will provide excellent lighting on a 36” x 18” SPS dominant tank?
- Would a larger established company make this before I could get it to market?
