My original Meijiu boards are 3.5 years old and still rock the house with par numbers.
Bar type LED knockoffs on Alibaba? Gavita/Spydr 2i Bar LED Knockoffs?

Did you ever get PAR numbers on your bars? How close were they to the manufacturer claims? I saw you got a Pulse Pro so I'm assuming you did.

I just got the pulse, but I did run a apogee under my strips when I first got them. Par is as claimed on their site.

I’ll run the pulse under them this weekend. I’ve been super busy and tired at night this past week with this deep freeze

Did they come in discreet packaging or is it obvious on the door step?

Thanks Bk.
Wasn't sure if they label "LED GROW LIGHT" on the outside of boxes like others.

Mine did and FedEx left them outside my front gate instead of bringing them inside to the porch like all the other delivery drivers! Luckily I was doing my best "kid waiting for Santa to come down the chimney" so I was there to grab them and bring them inside right away.
Guys im sold. But help me find the right one. Im currently running 6 gavita de1000w. I want to switch over to the led bars. Which one is best in your opinion?

You aren't?
No im not. Why? all these us companies and rebranding the alibaba ones and sell them for 3x profits... prove me wrong..

You aren't wrong. Almost all of the "new" LED lights I see on forums are just branded Alibaba lights. Even my local hydro store has some from a company called ION LED.
Its ok to be high, its a weed forum.

I am, but not enough to change out 6 DE's that hit 3 pounds a fixture on the right strain. Im high enough to by one led from baba and replace 1 DE.

Because you have 6 DE's. What strain do you run?
i just ran bubba. Only hit 1.5 a light. So disappointing. Everything was dialed it. Only thing i can think of was not supplementing c02. It was grade A+ but didnt yield.

I wish my electricity was that cheap. I only run 2 720w lights and my worst bill was almost $1000. I've made a bunch of changes since, including switching from a portable ac to a minisplit. My goal for this run is maximum efficiency!
