"quantum board" is a product of a specific vendor (Horticultural Lighting Group)

what you link is just a copy of that

do you trust a company that steals another's design and name to actually provide a quality product built with the parts they are claiming, or do you think they will cut every corner they can to make money from you?

 

[pollen205]

ok...now I understand..

but this is much cheaper version to start with so my question is will it work good as hlg ?

So new board (version 2) from HLG are stealed from Zeus board, which already exist.
And all cars in the world are stealed from first car - Benz velo.

@KonopCh

will this alibaba copy work like a hlg ?
or to go with 250 hps?

 

[Randomblame]

Probably not the same diodes and therefor not the same effiency but it would work for sure. But do not expect the same yield as with original QB's. This will not happen! But they grow weed much better than any blurple or HPS. If you can live with this... Why not?! It's your choice!

How is their current board with different diodes. Stolen from a different board?

It will work like hlg. It wont be as good. It sounds like the only answer you want to hear is yes. Which is not the case.

Boards with Samsung LM301B chips already exist. So HLG is stealing boards from them, like Alibaba guys are stealing boards from HLG.
That's at least Cobkits thinking...

Great I really want to hear negative things so I can know

So. Just because something has an lm301 diode doesnt mean its stealing. It's called improving a product. Wtf?

And yea the alibaba guys are stealing. Quantum board is an ORIGINAL design. Adding a better chip to their original design is not stealing. In fact if you look at most of Chinese shit its knockoffs and ripoffs.

Bro if you want to grow like an hlg light, buy an hlg light. People all over this forum have boards from alibaba and they grow well. All I'm saying is their performance has a pretty big chance to be less than an hlg. Which doesn't discount it from growing good weed.

This is a build and grow thread of a meijiu board. https://www.rollitup.org/t/diy-fotop-grow-board-280x900x2-0mm-l29-52-xw9-18.960546/

I got some, didnt didnt try them out yet. Slight warning: shipping and customs are about are over 100 euro

https://www.rollitup.org/t/board-from-europe.958506/
This is a thread about boards sold in europe/eu. No customs only shipping fees.

It would be easier if you started by saying whats your budget and how much space you have to light.

 

[Randomblame]

Nope, the term Quantumboards is where the problem is. PCB's with secret diodes exsist since a long time, no one has stolen the technique from each other, but the term Quantumboard is attached to top bin Sammy LM561c diodes and most of the time the scammers use other diodes and thinner PCB's. For sure no top bins or no LM561c and probably not even Samsung diodes, lol!
If so, they stole the Gerber files and built cheap copies based on them. If they would use a different name, that would be something else. HLG should patent future design's or at least apply for utility model protection.
They could grant licenses or sue the scammers.

So tell me, how are Chinese guys stealing from HLG?
It's different product with the same chips, if you find legit one. If they're SMD chips, it's even not stealing because of different chips - you know, "upgrading" or "downgrading".

 

[pollen205]

thnk you so so sooo much @Rocket Soul ...

Now i email with meijiue and they charge 102 $ for light 288 130w and another 55 for DHL...
Its not normal that is shipping so high...
My budget for the light is 100-150 $

I just wondering because I am new to all this so please dont be mad

How is it a different product if it looks the same, the name is the same, and they use the same chips. They are obviously trying to RIP off the quantum boards. You're a moron if you cant see that.

 

[Aolelon]

Especially since some of them even use the same Images from HLG website. And the same data

Thanks, moron. Dickhead.
