Yeah a good chap on here pointed a few folks toward those Zeus boards a while back.
Its good for all us in the EU. They do have some great stuff on site and some nice heat sink options too.

Makes me want to buy more lights but I already have too many to use. :bigjoint:

Man those heatsinks for XT boards,those bigger option are 4.2 kilograms in weight... if i will have 6 boards with
these heatsinks think it will broke mine tent,it will just colapse from light fixture... ;D LOL

Am happy cause of fact they dont need heatsinks till 140W.. and these temps are manegable with adding
some few ventilators.. with these 480W driver they work lot lower than its their maximum..

lately they got Meanwell 600-H 42AB,more power for XT boards and still dimmable..if i buy new fixture
it will be on these stronger driver than i have now..

I wish they made the two channels adjustable separately... would be nice for a 4 bar set up, tune the middle bars a bit lower, ending a bit more to the edge bars....

I do have the similar one, it's made in China, from the seller recommend 24-30'' for seeding, 18-24'' for vegging and 12-18'' for flowering

Excuse me bro or sister... but these Chinese knock offs cant be compared to real HLG or Zeus in terms of quality,
also Zeus XT boards are double a size of QB,diodes are more spread in between and it doesnt even need heatsink
till 140 W of power..

But if you ever aquire Zeus 308 than we could something to compare,these are not same animal like Alibaba boards..

Kind regards Grow for fun only

Hahaha he said I heard. Grow with them and tell me how you feel. The electric bill is 1/3 of metal halide.

I'm performing a comparassion study, 1000watt HPS/cool tube/electronic ballast against a HLG-600H. I recieved my 1st electric bill, it increased $100 :cuss:
So I'll finish the study thru harvest, but I just ordered another HLG-600H Rspec. In 6 months it'll pay for itself :weed:

Yes i just said it similar instead of compare to it.:weed:

But your light is also selling on alibaba this is for sure, there are many different selllers sell it at low to high price. If you wanna see if there is similar stuff as yours, just check on alibaba. From i know most led lights manufactured in China with low cost price but selling high in USA after put new brand. dont be chatting.:P

I dont mind Chinese brand, but i dont like guys charge me twice amount on chinese item while been told it USA brand, if so i do directly find chinese sellers to work with, get good price and local warehouse shipping, so I did work with a chinese supplier for 3yrs+, It's the marshydro, a nice led brand in the market.:leaf:

I could not find the very same one, but the similar one would be much easy. ppl know copy copy then upgraded it, if now there's no such a similar one, it would be seen in the future sooner or later, their ppl with really good creativity :P Nothing is impossible, only the unexpected！

Simmilar doesnt mean same... Chinese are all simmilar but they are not same..

and ZEUS 308 is build in EU,Germany produce it from what i readed..
am also tryed to find at Alibaba and other sites but cant found boards
right with 308 Samsung LM301b diodes..

So how can i compare whithouth light meter and with different board... also was look those at Alibaba and they look to me like
inferior boards to HLG or Zeus308 work..

But i addmit i never tried to buy something from Alibaba as other folks say they are not good enough
like HLG boards.. so i read on forums and people says they are not same...

Am also dont know in these moment does Zeus 308 will perform great.. thats also question of time and
what kind of yield i can pull out.. am newbie at LEDs growing so there is much to learn..

Yes Similar and same is different.:bigjoint: i just worry about one day they would copy the item which selling hot in market. Have you guys see the spider farm selling amazon,i think it must from one of the chinese company.as you can see the pic is very similar as some hot selling light QB. so you know I tell the truth, copy- copy is such an easy work for their handcrafts. If your light is popular in the market they will copy it. o_O

I dont say Chinese are bad... but maybe i readed some few negative reviews so am a bit doubter..
and maybe that exchange in future.. who knows,people sometimes claim something but then they
change mind...

Its not wise to be unflexible as then your "values" can broke more easily..

Chinese is a good place to make money, since there is large population, so the market is so big. Especially if you import goods from China, you get very low price, so can save more costs :weed: what i mentioned the 'copy-copy' is just some business phenomenon among Chinese sellers, while it not bad actually, since there are many companies in competition, so same or similar products you can get better pricing . :clap: you can change the supplier anytime if they could not satisfy your needs,and you can find the new partner very soon. I do dream i can open a factory in China to make LED and selling to worldwide growers . :P:P This is just my mind on business, i hate talk political. :blsmoke:

Never mind, here RIP members like our family, feel free talk and discuss.:P Have a nice day .
