mobile links hurt my face when i'm on a lappy.
Agreed!
Just bring up the mobile link, delete the "m." in front of alibaba and reload.

23 dollars for 128 diodes? Is this really that good? How much would you pay for say 10 including shipping? Theres 29$ hlg V1s and i think kb charges similar for their lm301b 288s.
Also keep in mind you could get around 3x blux gen3 2footers for same price, 4 if you ordered in big bulk, and the diode count is 118 on those.

But they look practical though

i was looking at these the other day and i agree they look great for a nice even light spread.
they do a version with 120 x lm301h + 8 x xpe2 660 $35/£27 https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/KingBrite-LED-Strip-Light-Samsung-quantum_62435851818.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.41413.11.78b516d84atEJx
they also do one with 118 x lm301h + 6 x xpe2660nm + 2 x xpe2730nm + 2 lguv $35/£27 https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Kingbrite-Samsung-LM301H-Quantum-board-light_62456138913.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.41413.15.78b516d84atEJx
i agree they arnt really cheap but i like the layout of the board/strip.

i am wanting to build a new light for a 12ft x 5ft canopy and was originally thinking of going with 21 of prawns highlight boards ran at about half power with no heatsinks, the cost of the highlight boards landed in the uk is around £100 each, £2100 total.
but then i seen these and was thinking say 50 strip/boards ran around 2/3 power would give similar wattage but better spread and would cost approx £1500 landed in the uk.

what do folks recon pay a bit more go with prawns boards(known qualtity chips) or save a few £££ and get better spread with the strip/board(are they really lm301h, what bin ect).

This one seems pretty easy. Prawn boards.
Diode count per $$ seems similar (2100 for 8400 nichias, 1500 for 6000ish samsungs+ali crees) so what do you trust more, an ali vendor or a forum sponsor?

Also, i saw the the or_gro side by side tests:
Prawns beat hlg samsungs with hlg monos+uv. It was close but defo a win. And this was even with ppfd and spectrums pretty much equalized.
In this case youd be using ali samsung diodes which i cant really believe will be the same as hlg. Also the prawn boards are 90cri which means more balanced spectrum: less blue dipp around 470-480.

Your in the uk and i assume comericial: who grows 60 square feet of weed for own consumption??? The extra cost per square feet is 10£ (sorry getting confused with $$ and £) and weed is expensive in the uk. Like those 10£ are worth what, 3 grams??? I believe in the many cycles youll make with these boards the prawn boards will make you those 3 grams over and over again.

Also: if something goes wrong and one breaks, who would you like to deal with prawn or the chinese? Who ya gonna call:grin::grin: ????
No prejudice whatsoever but i bet you prawn would take better care of you. Hell, i think even if he made you buy a new board youd still be making better coin with prawns. Well, i know its growlights oz, but i bet you the same.

The little money difference per dioode makes this a easy decision

yer i recon your right, prawns board is clearly better diodes/construction not to mention customer care ect.
just really liked the spread, maybe prawn/growlight oz should make a fat strip! best of both worlds.

Both solutions give sufficient spread. One board does approx 2'x1.5'. If youre going with prawns id love to see the build. Ill pm you if you dont mind. Ive been doing some larger builds with fotop boards but my clients favorite was the one i did with 2700k 90cri. I dont think youll be disappointed with the prawn board. If you want another cheaper alternative it would be blux eb gen3 but its still untested. Also no uv. But it looks like a price beater. Ill take delivery of a bunch in a couple of weeks.
Im kinda surprised that the prawn board works out this cheap here in europe. It is an excellent deal for the pro

Hi mate, someone else just directed me to this post. I did a quick calculation for 21 boards shipped to the UK, and by my calculation it works out about £1860, or around £88 per board delivered. If you go to our website and type in a UK address, it will automatically deduct 10% Australian tax (as you are outside Australia). Also, don't forget to use the RIU discount coupon "FORUM" for an additional 10% discount.

So about £240 less than you think – including delivery to the UK.

Just to give you an idea of how our prices compare to others, Quantum Board R-Specs are on sale for US$80 each. Our boards are 1.6x bigger (including number of diodes). 1.6x US$80 = US$128. The above prices I quoted for our boards are around US$110 per board. So our prices are very competitive. And the quality of our boards is – we believe – second to none. (You would expect us to say that, but that is also the feedback we have been getting from all our buyers.)

I just thought I'd point that out. If you need anything else, please drop me a line ;)

They're actually cheaper than you guys think. End of spam :D


Its never spam when its a better option, especially when many still dont even know the company or how good your qbs are.

Ya`ll need to go on a marketing rampage. Growers need to know how good the boards are and that they are very well priced.

Those of us in the know, or those who know Prawn or watched the or_gro side by side can attest to just how good these boards grow. The rest of the grow world gotta be told bro. You guys should own a much larger share of the LED market and i honestly think you will in due time, if you go on a MARKETING RAMPAGE

I dont own these boards because im a lover of the strips, but lets not get it twisted, i just recently ordered some customized strips (Thanks Teknik) and the main goal was achieving the PRAWN spectrum but in strip form.

I corrected myself in the china thread, i had them at 1.4, not sure why but i thought they were 400 diodes.

Thanks for the kind words, diggs. I don't want to jack this thread, but there is a reason for the low-key approach.

When @Prawn Connery came up with the idea for the High Light boards and we started working on them, he just wanted to get them out to a few growers and anyone on RIU who might be interested. When it became clear there was more interest, I thought there might be an opportunity. Prawn just wanted to keep growing :lol: So we made some more boards and he let me build and manage the website.

We're a small operation. The most important thing for us is to build decent boards and not cut corners. If things grow from there, great! But things can quickly turn to shit if you try to be too ambitious by over-promising and under-delivering on your orders. Too many companies are like that. We don't want to be those companies. We just want to be good at what we do.

i applaud that attitude, its refreshing to hear. Many get greedy and grow too big too fast., only to fail.

I think you got the gist of what i was trying to say, the product speaks for itself and you guys have a bright future.
