The light arrived today by USPS. I don't plan on using it right away but I opened it up to make sure it works in case I needed to return it. Some minor assembly was needed such as connecting the AC cord and attaching the ON/OFF/Dimmer cord. I plugged it in and the wife wanted to know if they needed to see it from the moon! It was adjusted for full power and it lit up the living room like a hospital operating room! The dimmer worked extremely well with no obvious jumps in brightness. Very linear operation. I don't know about the diodes but the drivers are the same Meanwell drivers that are on my Spider Farmer SF 4000. Seems to be well worth the $100.Just ordered! I don't "need" another light right now but at this price I cant pass it up. Besides, it'll be nice to have a back-up if needed!
Thanks for the code.
Glad to hear that. Any pictures?The light arrived today by USPS. I don't plan on using it right away but I opened it up to make sure it works in case I needed to return it.

Thanks again Marq1340!
I didnt even think of taking any pics and boxed it back up. I'll try to get a couple pics later.Glad to hear that. Any pictures?
***Upon further inspection, I see that the S/N labels on the drivers are not fully intact (zoom in on pics). That is quite concerning for me. I sent this picture to MeanWell to see if they can confirm authenticity of the drivers. I will update this if I hear from them***If you miss this deal, you'll definitely regret it.

Then again, maybe I'll keep that one too! Lol....I need to start selling some of the others. LolI didn't know about the 400 watt! I just bought it! Lol.... hopefully I can cancel the other one. It's was $112 for me though.
This must have been what crashed the site earlier. Let us know if they reply.***Upon further inspection, I see that the S/N labels on the drivers are not fully intact (zoom in on pics).

Because of the above and the scratches on the housing of the driver, I cannot give this light good reviews until I hear from MeanWell and the seller.
Here's my review of this light 400w PANDVILLOW.
I think It's a steal of a deal at the $90+tax pricewith the discount code and clippable coupon. Thanks @Marq1340
Build quality seems solid. Heatsink is flat 4mm thickness. Dimmer has smooth, infinitely adjustable action.
I think this is a nice addition to my discount grow light hoarder stash.
Packaging is good. It does say "Grow Light" in small text approx 1/4" height in two places on the sides, so not super stealth.

One driver has a scuff mark on the side, so it got dinged around or dropped in the factory. Worked fine. I won't be returning it, but I'll notify the vendor.

I edited my review because I noticed more issues that raise questions about the drivers. If you bought any of the lights from PANDVILLOW please post pics of the drivers. Maybe the issue is only on the light I got.
I've never seen Mean-well with Spanish on it. They usually have Taiwan on them. I may be wrong and the labels might be printed differently for HLG-XLG-ECG ect ect . Here's some I've got from Arrow/digi-key . Hopefully yours are legit, that's a great deal for that unit.I edited my review because I noticed more issues that raise questions about the drivers.

They must be Grey Market parts.S/N labels on the drivers are not fully intact
I see nothing wrong with finding out what value you got for your money. If he was complaining, well that would be different, but I don't believe he's complaining.I don't understand! You buy one of the cheapest if not thee cheapest 400 watt lights and then have the audacity to start checking S/N and quality? WTF do you really expect? You get what you pay for is a phrase that has earned its place in the history books. If your gonna check wattage at the wall and serial numbers then you need to pay the cost up front and shop quality from the beginning from a reputable company.
I understand the concept of get what you pay for. I paid for the product as advertised. I believe that is what was offered, so that's what I paid for.I don't understand!

I don't do much shopping without coupons(groceries included), but if I were to buy something at a discount and it was expired, faulty, or I was mislead then I would definitely want to get to the bottom of it.I don't understand!

Honestly I would. Hate being lied to.I see nothing wrong with finding out what value you got for your money. If he was complaining, well that would be different, but I don't believe he's complaining.
