Well the boards are actually Samsung. Light manufacturers like hlg or timber and few others are actually transparent about what they use from the lights themselves including the bin numbers to the drivers powering them. They are upfront about how they’re built.
Building imo is the best route to take.
Here’s an old old pic when I first got a few of these lights and took a picture through method sevens strange how the lighting is different
I see from your pic you were on Kind's are you still running them or did you build?
I build. I get new stuff all the time from a buddy at a local shop to demo and give feed back. I had gotten 4 of these guys to try. I run three rooms this is my designated “experiment” room. I can’t even sell the ones I have no one wants them around me and I had them list for 400 a piece. Most folks either build their own or run hps or cmh lights where I’m at. For the price they aren’t worth anything other than being a fancy 36 lbs disco light/ paper weight. I’m simply posted this to show the difference in the light through method seven led glasses.
Either option will work as will 3500k .... no need to think veg / bloom terms that much any more.
Wow, you pretty much nailed all of my questions. That was super helpful thank you.
I would say keep looking .... that WING looks wonky , assembly looks thrown together.
You can see most of light intensity in center. Build a fixture and spread those photons !
Yeah yeah.. Those of us who have been here long enough know he isn't a salesman. You could call 70% of the guys who hang out in the LED section salesmen based on the fact we would all recommend HLG or omega or cobkits or timber. Fact is non of us are, its because we know enough about the products and have seen either first hand or second how those companies lights or products perform. We were all happy with the results and would recommend them every day. Since its every day someone askes about what LEDs they should buy for x $ in y space.
Ive already addressed the fact that I build. These were a demo. This pic is from several years ago.
Thanks budz, super helpful again.
Wonder if I could get away with one of these to veg and flower a 3x3 until I can upgrade https://opticledgrowlights.com/products/optic-2-210watt-led-grow-light
A little light in watts per sq. ft. for flower.. Probably should be 300 watts or more. Just my 2cts
I'll probably go back and forth on wether or not I'm going to shrink my tent or expand my light forever lol I'll try not to take you for the ride
I like what they are doing - seems like they are using clones of Samsung 22" double row strips. I personally like the single row strips so you can space them out better.
