Loriflux vs chilled

Hey Team,

I am looking to get around 40 fixtures to fill some rooms. Loriflux said they would hook it up with a discount, 875 per fixture.

Chilled offered 7% off. LoL... barely covers sales tax. But the Chilled is a 1000W


The Chilled uses Samsung diodes, and Lori uses Osram. Which one is better, would you get the Loriflux, or can someone recommend i go a different route all together.

I downloaded their data sheet and even within that literature, nowhere does it state what driver they're using, and more importantly, what LEDs. You say Osram but it's not specified anywhere. At least from what I could see. I would vote against both of them and get what you need for half the price with Meiju Bar Lights. @bk78 just got 2 of then in the mail and they're great looking fixtures. Meanwell drivers, Samsung LM301's and added 660/730red. You can customize it to whatever you want though. Maybe add a few of those 395nm LG HyperViolet diodes.
BK can post the link to them cause I'm not sure what it is exactly.

Thank you! I will look these up. I would really like to spend under 1k per fixture and dont necessarily mind DIY. When we last spoke and I priced out the DIY LM301 strips, it was only only $150 cheaper.

The scyence LED's look really cool, with a 3 channel spectrum control with 'light recipes'

If you're trying to conserve cash, get meijus bar lights. They do quantiny discounts as well.

Progrowtech has schedules/recipes for some of their models. https://www.progrowtech.com/resources/

Oh wow. That's a lot better than paying that for only 8 growcrafts or Gavita 1700SE'S
Yes indeed. Still anxious to see the results compared to a 1000w DE. I’ve had mixed feedback from people that did both on a profesionnal level.

So you'll have 25 total in a pretty big space I'm assuming. 4x8 drip trays? Or F&D?

If I were you I would cha GE your order immediately and get a 3:1 ratio of 3000k to 5000k Samsung LM301 diodes. Or just all 3000k even. Just a bit too much Blue for flowering if you ask me. But these are marketed heavily as seed to harvest lights
So the blue makes more sense in that aspect. But if you're using them all for Just Flowering.... A more red spectrum would help.

I got just 3000k + deep red
