Hey guys, I've been doing my research on LED lights. I thought I had fallen in love in Dorm Grow's 900w light (actual draw is 560ish). The price point and actual power draw is what pull me in. I was about to order my light, CC information was typed in, I decided to inquire to Dormgrow on their website chat to see just where their lights were manufactured. They told me that they were partnered with g8led and they produced them in China. So I then looked on Ebay and found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/900W-Led-Grow-Light-Greenhouse-Hydro-3W-Full-Spectrum-Increase-Yields-Plant-Lamp-/221289956372?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item3385e8c414

Through visual inspection the light looks identical. The only differences i found from the dormgrow website was the on and off switch and the slightly different back fans. After a bit more looking (and after asking dormgrow directly) I found that their lights have been redesigned over the years. I posted a video at the bottom of this post that was created by Dormgrow a while back where the light is EXACTLY identical.

So what's the beef? Ebay is 1/2 the price, and the two are scary similar. Does anyone have more information on this? or has anyone purchased from 'moto.speed' before? I'm not so much worried to purchase from moto.speed because his reviews seem to be solid with more than 1200 and a rating of 99.9%. I'm more concerned with the quality of grow I will have with this ebay light in comparison to with a dorm grow light..

Can anyone help?

When spending that much money you want to go with a good brand that you know will stand behind their product if something were to happen in the future. I would be wary of eBay lights. I have seen lots of cheap lights there but I would never buy one. I know g8 has a great reputation and makes solid lights.
