Well that's good. Sharing your pictures is half the fun, and there's no better way to get feedback on your grow. It's also good for future reference if and when you need it, so get some pics up mate.

Here's some Karma Headbanger at 5 weeks under Bridgelux strips. Check em out

I feel you. To be honest I didnt take a whole lot never though i would have this type of conversation about them hahah but I will so not take good ones in the future and for the comparison grow. And if you looking for a decent way to test potency gemmacert has some that are pretty decent from what I have seen. I'll be doig a review on it in. a week or two

So I'm with you on the limited meaning I would guess it would be about 100000hr the diodes are rated at 70000hr so from what I get from reading it is 5years is the lifetime warrantywhere you dont pay anything if you have problems after that the limited part kicks in up to the bulb hour at least 70000 and the customer pays shipping and they pay for parts with I think is pretty good. But again invought it for 1350 plus shipping so i feel I i won at that price point considering it a 2300 dollar liggt

I think as far as diode lifetime, 50,000 hrs is more realistic, and you will also see substantial photon output depreciation after 20k hrs. Also, that's just for the diodes. If you're talking about a fixture warranty, you have to consider all parts; driver -- 5 years is typical.

I’ve been extremely hesitant to buy any lights on alibaba. The prices are so low it makes me think Knock off, and on top of that, potential safety issues. Has anyone actually purchased anything from that site? I was thinking the prices are so low because China’s trying to rejuvenate their economy because of this corona thing, I mean everybody’s economy is in the crapper right now. I’m just really skeptical.

I get it. Its like buying from amazon, but youre kind of stuck with it. Preferably, id at least rather buy from a U.S. seller. Help keep our economy going, yet still get the benefit from buying something cheaper.
