That is crazy cheap. I have all HLG now, but for $50, it would be interesting to check it out.

Yea I'm gonna get an hlg after the first of the year. I was just curious what this board actually has. It's cheap enough to find out!

I don't trust that it's Samsung diodes. I assume that it's knockoff AF. The description says Meanwell driver, but the picture shows Fahold brand. And the claimed PF on the driver is 0.98, but oh well, at $50 I can put it over my succulents for the winter indoors....as long as it's not an electrical fire hazard.

Not if you are in Canada, even after both discounts it still comes to $116.79 Cad for a 96w light that they call a 2000w. Guess it would be ok to try if in the USA. I have issue with any company that tries to fool folks by calling a 96w light a 2000w light. They also say it has a meanwell driver but when you look at pics they post it shows a fahold driver. Just a couple things to think about.

The 2000w one is only 96 watts? You sure thats not the 1000w one? Shit, you get what you pay for, but the curiosity is killing me. What is the wattage? I dont see anything on that.

I was guessing that's was a misprint. I was guessing the 96w was for the single board, and that this one is more like 200w, but I don't know.
For $50 it's kinda tempting just for the hell of it. Even though I have more lights than I need already.

I tried every which way to figure out if 96w Fahold pictured is in fact the driver for the 2000w model. I sent questions to UPBUD, but the only response they gave me was the discount code. I got one to test it out.

lmao
I mean its cheap and very tempting, but if in fact its 96 for the entire '2000w' board thats very underpowered and wouldnt do shit. The fact they dont put anything up about the wattage is about as concerning as that ppfd chart lol.

LOL, I hear that. They don't even post the power draw, I took that number off the picture of the driver. I just worry. 1 they don't post the power draw. 2 they say meanwell driver and picture something else. If they cannot even get the ad posted properly I can't imagine what they might mess up on the product. I just wanted to point the stuff out since all I could see on that ad was red flags. If I were in the USA I might just buy one for $50 but up here I would not chance it for $117. Hell even cheap products can do an amazing job, never know what you may get until you try them.

Ok so checking out the picture on the 1000w i can see a driver that has a 100 in it, now im not familiar with drivers and stuff but that to me is where you get the 96 watts. Well on the 2000w board picture the driver has a 200 on it. Am i correct in presuming that the 2000w has a bigger driver, one more for 200 watts? Does that sound right?

I know yall are joking and shit, but have you really heard of this happening to anyone yet? You know the news would be all over it.

They have more important stuff to write about than some dumb stoner setting his house on fire. I wasn't in the paper when my dad replaced a 15 amp breaker with a 30 amp and the house caught on fire, lol.

The picture of the driver on the 1000w model is the same as the picture in the 2000w model. Output says 96w.
