Hey bros.
Is this light legit? Sorry cant paste links yet for some reason. It sounds like a serious light
Is there a way to check?
Are they really able to run all those chips with different spectrums on the same board and driver and keep it all stable?

No idea. First time ive heard about this company. Only real way of knowing is by trying it. I used Meijiu cause the boards had been tested by Moflow and looked allright.
Generally i never buynkits from ali, only the boards as they are the best deal. Preferable to have your driver warranty eith someone more local. And the rest of this kit is only cables, hanging gear and alu sheet which i can get for cheap local.

Agreed. Well if I use PayPal I know PayPal protects buyer and seller and refunds money if item isn't as described. Can always pull alibaba trigger and get them to put in the description all the Samsung chips and mean well driver they use are legit which would at least get me my money back if they weren't.
I think what I'm going to do is get 3 of the horitbloom lumab4 lights citizen1212. Like 750 Canadian. Then I got something with warranty. And good cobs that will grow good plants.
I will take that time to peice out some quantum boards for myself and do more research on led boards with uv and ir and get something that has really good bang for my buck.
I think I could stretch those 3 cobs over a 7x4' and get good results. Will still be running.the 600watt hps in the other corner of the tent.
Thanks for your help guys. I really appreciate it.

Another batch under the "knock offs"
Just into hut.
3 x RQS Royal Gorrilla clones.
~ 24l pots.
In a mix Biobizz, verve compost, homemade compost, seaweed, verm, perlite, sand and a pinch of Epsom salts.
18 days of 12 on 12 off.
No feed yet..
Temps lights off around 14°C
Temps lights on slowly creeps up to around 28°C max.
Like the temperature fluctuations of outdoor grown plants..... lol
I defoliated them slightly and opened them up a bit by tying branches to the bamboo canes.
They are also getting side light from a 80 watts Growgreen board and a 30 watt QB for now.
5ft x 2ft ish area at the moment but I've another 2 to go in over the next day or so.
Then a 5ft x 4ft-ish area.
Spot the mirror
The 30 watts of full spectrum in centre is a platinum p150 bare board with all the strings wired in parallel. Cheap Epileds but hey, re-use recycle.

Not sure about that but
I'm actually considering the meiji boards for my first quantum board. I'm looking to save.
Hlg delivered is 1500 cad.
Meiju delivered 750cad.
Kind of a no brainer.

R2T are ok too. I've a couple of Full spectrum Disco Boards that do the job well.
Several grows done with them now and I'm happy with them.

Its pretty decent when you compare to HLG prices. But.... HLG will defo give you more light per watt. About 10-15% in my guestimation.
The boards themselves usually go for about 25$ or so. Diying a alusheet heatsink for a few $ and theyre good for 60-70w each. Or run them soft without sinking at about 40w. At these low wattages the electrical efficiency will go up to the point where you start getting into HLG territory.
China boards with red: most definitely the reds arent as good as hlg. HLG uses osram square at low currents, maybe twice as much red photons per w as china reds. Again making some educated guestimates after reviewing the little data around.
The point im trying to make is that a china kit will not be as good as HLG but can still be a good deal if you dont want to design a system. But if you dont mind deaigning then you can build a light thats at least on par with hlg for the same price as a china kit. And with the added value of designing a light for Your grow instead of designing your grow to fit the 550.
