Meijui Bar Light Question

[SnoopyDoo]

Great resource here. Long time grower, first time poster. I’ve been reading up as much as I can.

I’ve been using DE HPS for a while with great results. A buddy gave me his DE Hood when he replaced it with a Gavita 1700pro. So I built out my grow for the additional DE, but now I have heat stress issues. OTOH, his Gavita is killing it, so I think it’s time to change things up.

Looking for bar style lights and the Meijui 650’s look like the way to go. But I have some questions before I pull the trigger.

1) Do the non-folding style require assembly? Are they easy to break down for storage?

2) I see 6 and 8 bar lights. They spec at the same light output and efficacy, but I would assume the 8 bar would be more efficient (more diodes) and therefore have slightly higher light output. Can anybody confirm?

3) 3000k or 3500k? I’m leaning toward 3000k, for no particular reason other than that’s the color spectrum I’m used to coming from HPS.

4) Is the driver 120 & 240v compatible?

TIA

Do a search for shit show. BK's shit show is a journal of a guy killing it with the Meijiu lights. May help you out.

That's what got me into researching these lights. 99% I'm gonna pop for a pair, but I want to make sure I'm getting the right ones. I was the unfortunate owner of some rather pricey under performing blurple LEDs. I don't want to waste time and money on something like that again.

Holy shit. I just realized the knockoff Grape Kool-Aid provides Grape UVA. I wonder if my buds are gonna taste like grapes, and bonus, I also don't need to buy a separate UV light anymore. I'm ordering some now.

I tried to buy lights once Alubob LED but they send fake Yeezys instead

 

[bk78]

They are junk clones

only buy HLG because your plants will grow bigger and stronger

 

[bk78]

Padawan can show you his buds now. What a real LED can produce.


Post it up @PadawanWarrior and show them that HLG is the end all,be all for horticulture lighting.

But your light doesn't say HLG on it. Better throw it all in the compost pile...
