Ooo I get mine the same place let me make sure I post it so everyone can see not bragging lol get off everyone's dick bro
I believe he had some irregularities with his boards. I think it's nice he shared the fact these might have a similar problem.

Not saying that the fantom boards have the same problem but I think it's important for people to know. If you actually follow the forum Old M sativa contribute a lot and doesn't bring people down with shitty internet personality

HLG gets Quantum Boards made at the same place too so any irregularities I would have, they would have. However, I've only had 1 diode break off a board during shipping, which was my fault. I've shipped almost 1000 of these and that's the only one I've had to replace. Also I test 1/4 of the boards for voltage consistency and the most I've measured was .01V difference between boards of the same style.

I trust @CobKits and his testing sure it's not perfect but he's unbiased and tests multiple parameters at a time. The curve at low currents was suspicious I don't know if I'm even talking about the same board but I bet if you sent him one to test he would gladly measure it next to other current offerings. I believe chilled led guy would give some independent readings as well you let him borrow one
 
You're not talking about the same board because I test mine at common drive currents, then let the boards thermally stabilize, then record the voltage. I've talked to cobkits and we have the same equipment, I might have a better bench top power supply than him now because I just got a new one. I don't have an integrating sphere large enough to hold my boards but me and Vitaly from ChilLED live in the same city. Once I get some money saved up I'll take them to the same lab (CSA Seattle) to get the uMol/j readings that everyone's crazy about.

I wasn't trying to belittle your product. In fact I like them. I was just curious what @OLD MOTHER SATIVA had to contribute before he gets ran off

This was the graph I was remembering with "the" board I thought we are talking about. Again it just seemed irregular for what it should be. I think people deserve to be suspicious about new items on the market and it helps knowing where and who they come from

thank you
yes, any irregularities the test showed may not have been so irregular...
the factory guy was shocked to hear it..and was in disbelief
sure plastic wago covers can break but the solder inserts and diodes were well seated..

at any rate good to see phantom boards guy..all the best

emailed the site and grand blunt wizard on here. wanna buy a few to play with and test before my investors throw money at me for lighting. was thinking QB's but i like the PAR map on these and for the price i could run 6 boards on every 4x4 instead of 4 with the QBs. 6 of these spaced evenly over a 4x4 with an hlg600 and we are all set!
 
I'd like to say that I verified Growcob5 was the guy that was hyping my boards, claims to have gotten 34 DM's since posting about them (despite denying that he was hyping my boards)

I want make it clear that I am not affiliated with this individual in any way and he does NOT own any of my products. He has been harassing me for a month and a half via email trying to get a discount on an already very reasonable priced product. All he had to do was order off my website.

I told him yesterday to stop contacting me for a discount and he emailed me back again today with the same gibberish asking for a discount. My lawyer may have to get involved if this person doesn't leave me alone.

I'm still waiting for you to get me a quote to ship to the uk :sleep:

I would like to own some of your boards.

As I understand YOUR boards have the extra colours and Also useing the SAMSUNG diodes.

Would love to know who's boards your knocking off pmsl hope they ship to the uk :lol:

Even I'm getting sick of reading everyone's knocking off other people's lights all because they use a Samsung diode :wall:

Surely Samsung didn't design and build the lm561c solely for use by one builder?
