Well...
Nothing to do today,just sit home..
A bit sick ...
I see a lot of debate in the forum about "Eastern" vs "Western" leds ....
And companies ....
I'm a pure LED DIYer ..
I would never be buying a led grow panel ,from any company out there ...
More or less,to run a company with profit ,there are always "restrictions"..
Which ,in case of led grow panel industry-as leds already being expensive high-tech devices, for east or west-,
trnslates in most of cases in 'final product compromises " ...
(Maybe also to reasure the product's ...evolution..next series ...you get it ...)
For most such companies ,growers are 'clients' ,'consumers', 'profit sources,etc ...
In order of profit ..
That's how it works ....
If I did not had those DIY skills ,what would I buy then ?
(* I would have been forced to buy ...)
Well ...
I guess ...
I would never buy any 'Eastern' made and promoted light ....
And from 'Western ,There are only few candidates ...Area 51 for sure ,on top .I like the companys mentality,standards and quality.And the rational prices..Han's is a very good alternative..Specially if he's wlling to make a Mixed White-Deep/or Mixed red based panel....
Reasonable prices both for high quality.And they both offer leds that do actually work.There are some more ,but way expensive,for what they are offering ...Asking too much of a profit ,for their ...designs ..(which as a DIYer I can easily replicate ,in way less lower final cost .Trust me on that .)
The rest are BS.
Pure BS.
But ...
If still my budget was way low ,or even if I had already an Area 51 panel...
(In fact I wish I had one ...Great piece of equipment ...)
I would still try to build myself cheap small arrays,from 'Eastern materials' ...
....
Maybe then later I would've build a better one with more expensive Western materials ...
Shit...
I would have ended up a DIYer ,again...
Exactly where I stand ,at this exact moment...
There's no way to escape yourself ...
Yeah..
