The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

Hi Bud
How do you like the Bava lights?
I was looking at 2 boards (2 x 120w) for my 2x4 tent.
These ones:

cheers

Those are pretty slick man. I think you’d be happy.

That or a 320watt Meijiu bar light. 4 bar even..if you had to do custom would be the cats ass in a 2x4.

Lights pay for themselves the first run.

I was wanting 2 lights so I can set them at different height if need be, for 2 plants in a 2x4 tent.. so each plant has 2x2 to itself.
i did consider bars before but I think been able to individually change height would benefit me.. right now I have a northern lights and a cbd tonic Ryder on the go, both started at same time and one is about 10” taller than the other.

Then those would be ideal bud.
 
So a standard 3500k LM301H with osram reds would be fine then... I guess if someone (hlg or China) comes out with a board with proper proven legit uv chips on it I could just buy that and fit to a current bava heatsink.. they all seem to have the same hole spacings. Then I’m not left with all them switch holes that are labeled wrong.
How about the ir on these kingbrite and Meiju? Are they worth it or just reds

im pretty sure they are seventhirty nm far reds and not real IR. ive not seen it on any fixture, but you can get eightfifty IR on strips from cutter. not sure of the actual value. Its running now on the grow i work with but theres no comparison side, the other side is CMH which already have IR. Cant go there and see for myself as im still in lockdown. Looks like Barcelona will be last out of lockdown in all of spain.

Also new cultivar so hard to say. Anyone tried Blue trap?
 
Regarding UV.. Dr.Bugbee said in his interview with Migrow, UV is beneficial for development, however, if over exposed, the plants develop a defense and make themselves immune to that spectrum.. He suggested perhaps, an every other day feeding of UV light.. The most beneficial being the far red and and further being more significant.
Just thought I would share.. im sure you guys most likely know this already.
 
Anyone had dealing with Shenzhen Bright company? Any good? They have a nice looking Waterproof quantum board.

I am quite happy with Archibald. Their 220W is next to my Spider Farmer SF-1000, not really much difference except the Archibald came with a dimmer lol (I got the straight 3000k on purpose, they have the mix like the SF....which has no option)

sucks they didn't just add a dimmer to the spider farmer.. advertising it as dimmable but conveniently not telling people you have to unscrew the driver from the heatsink to get to the pot... fuk them

Yeah I wouldn’t buy them now, not even the price I got them for. Live and learn.....but I don’t see any difference in the Archibald boards so...yeah why go anywhere else?
