ETL is an OSHA recognized code that is USA recognized. Cost with shipping was around 600. The size is 47"x42 ". Basically a spydr knockoff.I would very much like to see the results if you do choose to test with your multimeter.
I wouldnt expect any other answer from those type venders. Same as the advertised diodes used. You never really know.
But if they can achieve such claims, hats off to them!
Is ETL a European code?
How much did you pay for it?
How big is it?
I know when I hooked my 320 xl kits up that the wire that comes off the driver needs just a tiny bit more insulation stripped off than they send it, maybe 1/4" too long and mine would not work as although it appears the wago are connected the insulated interferes and bingo light wont work.. I also have a link to assembly if you still need it.When I made up a light w/2x 288's, I daisy chained, and only the first lit up.
Someone helped me troubleshoot that, and also said that all the wires coming out of the powered wagos to the lights needed to be exactly the same length.
It's easy with 2x boards.
If that is important, Its.always.420 might want to take it into consideration.

I don't sell anything on here but I do want to give you some advice as I have been dealing with China for a very long time. The first thing you ask them is do they have LM-79 and LM-80 approvals for thier lighting fixtures. If they say yes immediately ask to see a certificate. If they hesitate and say can you wait please then it means they do not have it or they are doctoring one up. None of these clowns that are selling you lighting fixtures have LM-79 or LM-80 approval. So you will know immediately what sort of company they are. I have seen heaps of the rubbish you guys look at from China and it is rubbish. The light starts off bright but turns to shit quite quickly and this is because they cheap out on design and they always do it. If you are happy to replace the light every 18 months then go for it. A few companies like Mars hydro are actually on here so they will read what I have just wrote and get a document prepared but be warned it will be a fake.
I haven't been looking at that. Probably need a lab to measure degradationAhhh very interesting.
I would think these tests and approvals would be more discussed around here.
Does HLG have these approvals?
Being someone who uses Chinese boards, what do you think about this MoFlow?
Have you experienced any degradation?
The drivers are custom built, I'm contemplating pulling them all out and replacing with mean well.Damn, now I really want to know how it tests out. For that price, this is a screaming deal if everything checks out.
I tried looking up the driver and couldn’t find anything online. I don’t like that.

Nalite told me that, don't argue with me, go raise it with them. Yes its not custom in the sense that its uniquely designed, but its not off the shelf like a mean well driver. So yes "generic". Semantics.Who told you that? The supplier?
Generic, rather than custom built.
There’s nothing custom about them.
I agree with OldMotherSativa.
It has nothing to do with efficiency, its got to do with the fact that they buzz like crazy, and are most likely built with cheap shit components. My unit buzzes so much that I threatened Nalite with a refund request and they've sent me an entire new driver unit for the light. If it still buzzes I'm requesting a refund.90% efficiency is 90%efficiency so why change them..?
its not linked to light output..just electricity savings..
Yeah thankfully I don’t have to worry as it’s legal in my country.Buzzing from a driver is a good way to get busted if you are trying to be stealth about things. The noise a driver can make can knock out surrounding TV and radio signals. Some poor old lady may not be able to watch Dr. Phil because of a dodgy driver
