Then you must live in China.

And don't get butt hurt, I'm only joking.

It’s hard to find a LED thread without padawan bouncing HLG nuts off his chin

I’d take a Kingbrite 240w for $160 over an HLG 135w for $180 if you have a limited budget.

HLG’s top binned diodes aren’t going to make up for the additional 105w.

I’ve see numerous people say KB/Meijiu sent replacement drivers & boards without having to ship back the originals and shipping is faster than most of my domestic orders.

Mars and SF are a different story.

That's good info.

Yes, it comes with an HLG-240H-48AB driver which is capable ~256w cranked all the way (5A @51.2V) but the boards are rated for 48V.

That's good info.

I was actually talking about the info from that site about why HLG boards are better. It's pretty obvious to me why the link didn't work before.

Wish I'd done some research before I spent my coin on CM lights. HLGs are well worth extra coin.

Can someone please confirm the Mars Hydro/Spiderfarmer companies aren't owned by Bayer/Monsanto?
They already bought up Botanicare, General Hydro, Gavitas...

5. Top bin diodes, including far-red which are important for numerous reasons

There's no mention of far red diodes on Gavita's webpage, just deep red (660nm).

Also the spectrum should show a smaller peak in the 700nm + region if far red monos were included with the Pro 1700e.

I'm not saying it's not important, but high efficacy white and deep red diodes are a common pairing with current LED fixtures.

So much blue.
