    What's the difference between creating a company incorporating Samsung F-strips and what people like https://fluence.science/ are already doing on an extremely large scale? A guy running one of my prototypes tested a cut he's grown for several years under one of their lights, and to say he was...

    You seem really, really upset. Just be ready for companies to come into this market without having to display blatant lies on the front page of their site to con people who can't even run simple tests before spending thousands of dollars. It is possible to be a transparent company. Do you think...

    Then you pay the markup...That's up to you. Doesn't mean you're going to have anything better than the people who don't. The funniest part is the idea that 'quantum boards' will even be able to keep up in the long run. "Chip-on-board LED market to grow at 35.5% CAGR to 2020. The global...

    I'm not supporting them taking the name. I'm saying who cares? They built their name off a sham marketing strategy. I don't respect that type of business practice, so I don't give a shit if China does what they're doing now. Why respect a name built off a lie? I'm arguing that the design itself...

    I think its really funny how much people focus on 'PPF' as if that can help them figure any of this out. PPF is for efficiency, PPFD is to see if your diodes are arranged properly and producing proper photon uniformity. Lower efficiency diodes in a proper design trumps highly efficient diodes in...

    It doesn't matter. There isn't 37% worth of differences. Vivosun 1000w ballast, 1000w Eye Hortilux HPS bulb, 6" Blockbuster reflector. I created the chart with the PAR map they provided.

    Lol what do you use then? You act like they have something that is worthy of the title 1000w HID replacement. I just like to poke holes in sham marketing strategies. This one is easy.

    Because that's the product page you're linked to when you click on their '1000w HID Replacement' button on the homepage. 360+480+360+400+600+400+605+750+600+835+890+840+500+540+735+880+950+880+750+570+525+828+890+810+590+740+590+370+595+585+325+490+365 = 20,628 20,628 / 33 points =...

    Actually, you know what's hilarious? They've decided to just remove the PAR map entirely from their product page now, so you can't even do what I've already done to produce the data I've shown you here. Such a transparent company with nothing to hide!

    Calm down, its not my fault you bought a shit product lol. Would you like to go to their product page and load their data into a graph generator to see for yourself? Or is that out of your scope?

    I just might grab one with my next order from them and test it against the data provided by HLG on their product page. I won't be paying HLG a 60% markup for one of their rigs. I mean if you create a visual representation of the data HLG provides you'll see its pretty much a trash product...

    A lot cheaper. I can, because I've already dealt with this vendor and they have proved themselves to me. This isn't some random Alibaba vendor. A lot of people in the community work with Jerry. Really all I'm saying is its safer to assume whatever KingBrite's selling is legit than otherwise...
