Ya I'm guessing I didn't check any of that stuff when I signed up. Just went with whatever was already there lol
Don't count on the warranty pretend it doesn't exist its still a good deal just don't expect the best when you are paying less

I have a little extra cash to flush so ima say fuck it and try it.... if it don’t work, well then I’ll just replace it with my cmh I ordered also
It's not a bad deal here's a good alternative a little more expensive but you get a little better spread and warranty/customer service both will grow

A little more is a understatement for a cheap man lol. I have Hlg and Chinese lights both grow. I’ll say the bigger difference is between hps or cmh be LeD. If your worried warranty wise that growled site it Hlg is def better approach
Haha I guess it's like a half oz of bud more cost if you're that cheap you really shouldn't even be smoking

Maybe next month I’ll get that to.. I already have a pile of different lights... I’m just experimenting pretty much to see what suites my room best
Do a diy build if your just experimenting
Cheap is relative, some people don’t want to drop a lump sum of cash or just won’t save a couple checks. In theory if you can do 400 why not do 600+ and get a 600w led prebuilt banger.
So your getting the 250 amazon light?
132v2(132v1)4k-3k 4 pack 132$ or 109$, 60-100$ Hlg meanwell driver depending on wattage, 25$wagos, 20$ 18 gauge wire, 10$ power cord, 10$ ratchet hangers, 40-80$ in alum frame and screws. I drive my boards soft so I left out heatsinks I’m not sure the cost of them. There’s strips or cobs that’s could be swapped out instead of boards. Money and flexibility wise I chose to build and it’s VERY simple. Worse case you have some great veg lights if you don’t like Led. The cost I outlined is higher then your 250 for that amazon light but if you like LED the extras will be used for your next light build

I'm thinking of trying to "copy" Fluence's setup with the 2:1 warm to cold LED ratio.
Should be easy enough to add one 5000k stick for every 2 3000s. as an experiment.
At least my lights are not plastic like their shit.
I wish Samsung would make a higher CRI range for Gen 4 F-series I'd do this before experimenting with red as an addon... both for cost and ease reasons.

Bridgelux vesta strips would be your friend for this. Dual channels, 5000/2700k both in 90 cri, and very economic aswell. Little lacking in paper specs but gave us really good results. We used 2 strips where i would use one double f-strip and it seems to work fine. Might be worth it to wait to see if they release a next gen vesta as blux are updating gens now.

I looked into building some last month but was to intimidated and don’t think I have the brains for it

Not sure youre answering me... But anyways:
It isnt hard. I help you with a cookiecutter build of mine if you like.
Its litterally taping strips to alu extrusions and connecting it to a driver. Did you ever setup HPS/HID? Its not more difficult. The only problem is sourcing the right components but you got a whole forum of people to help you.

Hey man, I did take a look, at the volume that I am looking at the savings is like 60c US, per strip. My friend has some kind of account that gets 10% off list price, so I will probably come very close to that price, but with a slightly better diode. For low volumes, it does make an interesting proposition, their volume discount just isn't as much as Samsungs' The high CRI must be pretty cool if cost was no issue..

Ya man any help I would appreciate and no I never used hps or hid...I have a 315w cmh that I haven’t even took out the box

Grow with that first. Cmh is a really good light to start with. Gives some of the benefits of led (will not kill plants at higher temps) but is easier to vrow with than leds.
