Not sure the relevance of how often I post... guess that means I'm a newb.
I don't know how to quote people yet.. So my bad I always get Apache and Area-51 mixed up because of the RW fixtures. My mistake. Probably discredits everything I'm saying.
But referring to SK question... I don't know where PLC stands in terms of tests and data, but can anyone on this forum think of one company that can produce better/ similar alleged results that isn't almost double the price?
And have factual data and videos to prove it?
All I'm saying is that unless you use a SK or have put a par/ lux meter under one to know.. what is the basis for your argument? In my eyes, they are ahead of EVERY other light manufacture TODAY and use the same principles that all the DIY guys are into (full spectrum light, low heat, reliability, light density) other than cost. I don't know where they will stand tomorrow, but if we are talking about commercial fixtures and what is the best bang for your buck, please show me a better or even comparable alternative that is backing their claims with: side by side grows, using multiple light measurement tools on video, having their lights on display next to other industry leading lights at a public expo.
Whether it's top bin COBs or top bin 10W diodes packed in super tight with a reflector around it, if its delivering quality spectrum with good density who cares? Sure DIY is cheaper/ can be more efficient ( think larger than a 4x4 or 4x 8 ) but for a lot of people that is not an option, at least a desired option. BTW it's really easy to get extreme efficiency when your grow space is not that big. More LED's run soft gives you more light for the same/ less watts. If you think on a different scale that is same principle behind the SK light with individual diodes as opposed to several COBs. Sole source of light is not as efficient as multiple light sources if wattage is the same.
Their claims, at least to me, are not outlandish or even unreasonable based on my own experience with LED's and yields I have personally seen. And compared to other "commercial" fixtures I would say if the SK performs even in the same ball park as they claim, then their light is a much a better value over many of the other blurple or RW fixtures out there.
Also if you can buy the same fixture off of Alibaba, why would they waste their time replacing the diodes if they didn't perform better than the "high bay spot light" we can all order from China?
