Do you guys think the cheap Amazon ones are worth clones and or veg? And save money for the expensive Led's (like hgl) for flower.

What's the point of going ham on the cheap Amazon led's (honest question from a fellow bargain hunter).
 
Hi all. Interesting thread. I'm going to say be very careful with using cheapo lights. I bought 3 of them a couple years back. One quit working so I opened it up & Wires were all melted inside. I opened the other 2 & same thing was happening to them. I shut that grow down because of it.
I have a buddy on another site who burnt his house down because of a cheap light.
Curious which type of light you guys think gives a bigger yield. A Bar Light or a single light over each plant ? I've used both types. I got rid of my Bar Lights so I guess that tells you my opinion. One light per plant has given me bigger yields. The Bar light was better for an even canopy though.

Pics of the melted housing wires?
99% of the time. It’s the users “trap” light set up that causes fires. Or not using correct ventilation. Plus a darn fire alarm. Smoke/chemicals sensors are 20bucks at Walmart. Kangaroo. Be careful next time.
and if you purchase thru Amazon. They WILL replace the burnt items every single time. Ask me how I know. And how I got my tents. I’ll wait.

I messaged them the picture of burnt diodes.
I showed they sent the wrong size but I couldn return it because it was in use. So they just sent a new one AND refunded my money still.
I bought a 3x3x7 on sale thru best deal thread. They sent 2x2x5. They let me keep 2x2. Refunded ORIGINAL PRICE of 180. I paid 30. Then I could buy ac infinity 2x4x7.
they still sent wrong size. I’m keeping this one. 2x4x6. Correct size is coming. No extra payment.

bedding for animals says scent covered for up to a week. Told em it stunck in 2 days. Refunded.
they sent my Christmas gifts late. Refunded.
the temp gun was no better than a cheaper version. Refunded if I removed my review which I did. Plus more

If you think I’ll let that rich ass hole bezos over tax and still send me something I didn order. I’m coming at them hot. Look up consumer laws and use that to your advantage. They’re really fast to refund. Don’t ever short yourself with Amazon.
 
So much available now. Zero in on big name branded components. If the seller is using high grade parts, they will certainly advertise it in their ads. Look for Osram, Samsung, Philips, Mean Well etc.
The shear number of light “makers” has exploded lately. Wading through what’s listed here is worth it. A lot of very valid options.
Be careful!
Have fun!

I guess one point is to put downward pressure on pricing of name brand fixtures. I am running 2 mother's under 30 bucks worth of led panels bought from this thread and they are ridiculously effective even at 60% power, maybe 100w. I have to cut these back every week.
