Looking at opinions on this fixture. I dont know much about the diodes aside the manufacturer, Sanan Diodes (with Sanan Intermittent reds)
Led fixture opinions?

Strange, looking at cultilux.com they only seem to make cmh. Even their facebook page only offers reasons why their lights are better than led. Where'd you get this product info?

Their IG showed a prototype LED so I inquired about it, and then got email the info as a pdf.
The pricing was decent and has a six year warranty, but I'm hesitant.

What kind of pricepoint? I was actually looking for a good plug n play strip fixture, but the Fluence, bcblondes, and gavita were all too large and pricey for my budget and space.
I dont blame you for being hesitant about a new light. Im giving the new hlg diablo, single board a test run now. Hopefully it wasnt money wasted
It wont be

If its really the wattage they are saying, that is a hell of a deal.

Just dont know much about the diodes, you know? I know it's in the same category as like epistar diodes, but everyone is getting better lately.
I know about samsung, but no clue where things really stack up.

Ask the manufacturer for the datasheets.

TBH I would say that the warranty sounds good, if for example they will replace the light if diodes start to fail AND if the output diminishes beyond a certain percentage. I would want to clarify the terms of the warranty ya know?
2.3 umol/J sounds good, spectrum looks acceptable. 5x5 coverage with 860 watts sounds about right at 34.4 watts per sqft.
I don't know about the diodes personally either so you may wanna get other opinions for sure. Due diligence is required here, definitely on the warranty issue. Are they gonna pro rate you and make you basically buy a light if one shits a brick in 2 years? What will they do if it shits a brick in 4.5 years on the 5 year warranty and they don't even make / stock that model anymore?

It all looks sketchy as fuck to me, man. Website says one thing, IG advertises another. Nah bruh... Imma head out.
When things sound too good to be true, they usually are. I would advise you to avoid further contemplation of purchasing from them.

Thing is, I've purchased CMH lighting from the company and the one bulb I had issues with out of the set, got corrected in two days with really transparent customer service. I feel like I'd have already made the same decision if things didnt go well with other purchases.
I'll probably pass because it's a large purchase for me, but I'm going to ask additional questions.
Originally I was just going to grab a couple HLG 260w xl kits and just put them around a 315 cmh. But I came across that and needed the second opinions.

I feel like ive heard Sanan mentioned in the last few weeks.
Maybe @welight or @Grow Lights Australia has info. Its beyond my limited knowledge.

Maybe you heard it mentioned when someone asked for advice about one of the new Maxsisun, Viparspectra, or BestVa lights. All of these appear to be using Sanan LEDs.

Can you expound on "good"? Anything of comparable efficiency to the more popular Samsung diodes that most are using?

Are the HE 3030s going to be their new flagship, best chip they produce?
