So I put it in order for a lenofocus fl100 hopefully it's as good as the reviews a lot say that it compares to the hlg boards

when I google it I come up with one site talking a bit about it and that's literally it.

From what I gathered from reading that, they are not Samsung diodes nor meanwell drivers, so its likely not as good as a HLG product of the same wattage, but if your using it in the correct space it should perform very well.

What does it say about wattage and coverage? I guess you cant link because your too new?

Lensfocus 100 watt
I can't tell what size the white led is, maybe 5050?
The 660nm red led has a single dot in the center, can't tell size of the Diode from the photo.
You should be able to ID them when it comes in, the price per watt and coverage description seems reasonable.

Never mind, seller says Refond chips at 3000k and 5000k for whites, 0.2watt 640-670nm for red chip

My 2 cents from my research prior to purchasing the Lenofocus.

Lenofocus is using Chinese diodes. Specifically, Refond diodes for 3K & 5K. LEDStar diodes for red. Pretty large, modern manufacturers in China. These LEDs are copies of the original SMD 2835 diodes (I think made by Epistar) which are low-mid power diodes on the market, that's why there's 672 of them vs Samsung or Epistar boards which are high-powered diodes with less diode count. Power efficiency vs PAR output is still on-par with Spider Farmer boards which is what make this Lenofocus board impressive.

Tip: The diodes on the Lenofocus boards are not ran at their maximum output even at 100% with the potentiometer supplied because it was designed to be passively cooled. With adequate fan cooling, you can change out the driver to a higher output (around 120-150W) and achieve even higher PAR. Shortened LED life is to be expected from this. Compound this with cheap reflectors you can make yourself with cardboard & reflectix tape (97% reflectivity), I wonder how much more performance you can squeeze out of this cheap board!

I also really like mine! is it dimmable? there is a screw with a Philips head socket in the original driver??? Next to the input section on the driver it has a rubber cap also...IMG_20200226_214808.jpg

Okay guys check this.... my LED driver internals EXPLODED! Literally just happened yesterday. LUCKILY i was present at the time this happened guys.

All i heard was a pop! and i ran upstairs to my grow tent and opened it and it was FILLED with this nasty noxious fumes like plastic. I quickly pulled the plug and by this time I kept hearing POP CRACKLE POP POP from the driver, it sounded like sparks. Holy shit my entire room quickly smelled TERRIBLE. My fire alarm went off and I had to ventilate the entire fucking house. It was a fucking nightmare.

I was running this light 24/7 for about 1 month (bought Jan 24, 2020), at maximum output with the included driver. A fan inside the 2.5'x2.5' was blowing right under the light fixture so temperature shouldn't have been an issue. I think from the looks of it, it's a short circuit by the screws. LED board still looks fine I think it'll still work if I re-wire a driver. BUT that's not happening because I've lost all faith in Lenofocus and will be returning this board for a full refund.

Just a warning you guys... board still seems good but this LED driver must be really cheaply made BE CAREFUL EVERYONE!
