SF / Mars hydro source the same distribution lines ... all mainland China of course ... those “ knockoffs “ would more than likely BE FROM THE SAME production lines with custom logos. You know how China loves the counterfeit market ....Rolex , chanel , FILA , Nike , etc..... So just keep that in mind when sourcing vendors .... they even knock off the knock offs !

Kingbrite , Bava , Meiju are the a few of the popular ones. Archibald has the SF line , but could not tell you one way or the other About them. Hopefully it pans out ... because trying to get customer support from mainland China can be an issue with some vendors , and not even counting the cost of Re-ship back.

Keep us updated .... when your package comes , what’s inside and a little review.

i cannot find good info on how far to keep my led light amazon { 1000w true 175w } away from my 1 week old seedlings ? i have had the light about 9 inches above the seedlings leaves { with foil around the whole unit to reflect as much light as possible ) and a full week of 24 hour light and seem to be doing fine, however i know very soon i should put them on a 18/6 light cycle, how high should the light hang during the new light cycle ?

looked well into it online and that light your showing with the link has less total LEDs then the one im buying. every light spider / mars / almost every light is built to spec , and packaged , to specification , in china , at one of a handful of factories. it comes down to the driver { mean well ) that converts our power supply to D.C so the LEDs work properly. the sf4000 model i got runs close atts plus my other 1000w{175w} and cfls im close to 650 true watts . which is real good calculated yield at 40 watts per square foot 4x4
