There are so many led companies in China it's completely insane, I don't know them all and I really don't want to. I will be back over there in June for a fair and also doing some quality control. I am usually in China twice a year but I hate going there cause I can't eat the food or breathe when I am there because I am not used to the pollution. I basically live on beer for a week when I am there as that's the only thing that doesn't make me sick.

I had fake eggs on my first visit to China, I saw the chef break them open and cook them in front of me, they looked real but tasted like metal, don't eat eggs in China

Wtf? Lol im not arguing about anything. I’m not the one with the issue, you bought this shit. Sounds like you’ll be in touch with them to discuss the buzzing issue, so you can take it up with them...

Nalite told me that, don't argue with me, go raise it with them. Yes its not custom in the sense that its uniquely designed, but its not off the shelf like a mean well driver. So yes "generic". Semantics.

Look... My plants are saying: "You don't need to pay a premium price; We love these Samsung diodes whether they are on a board made by NASA or a board made in a sweatshop!"IMG_20190328_055156.jpg

They sent a replacement it’s even a bigger piece of shit. Buzzing still there, it doesn’t shock (as bad), now the diodes never turn off when the power is off. They sell crap and now it’s starting to come out.

If the leds keep running when the power is off then I would buy more of them and power the room for free, this Chinese company may have made a great discovery and can make diodes light up with nothing but the surrounding air

Mine does the same thing. It is plugged in but when the timer goes off that is built in to the unit or.you just hit the off switch they stay lit up very dimly.

The diodes stay on because of the old crappy capacitors they use, they won't turn off until the capacitors emtpy out. I would change those drivers anyway as I think they would be a fire hazard

They may give you a refund if you pay the freight to return it. These companies although I can't stand them do not want a bad reputation.
If their reputation gets too bad then they have to change company names again, some have 15 companies names over there though

In my first grow with Meijiu lm561c boards. I highly recommend these boards thus far... I can't predict the future, but if they are true to spec (seems Moflow can attest they do) then these boards as as good as the diodes allow.

A board is quite different to a fixture, if you have to buy a board then do it but buy the driver locally. Just be aware that they will not put a genuine product on there or they will use a cheap bin, if it's too good to be true it is usually because it isn't true

To be honest I don't really care to look at your plants, I have seen plants grow with terrible technology. I'm just trying to help people out and share my experiences in dealing with China on many different level, if you are happy with your purchase I'm happy for you to be happy. Please don't think I am trying to upset you at all cause it's not the case.

This applies everywhere, even in the west. Before you purchase something, make sure you get detailed user reviews. Amazon reviews are bogus/bullshit. You want to ask specific questions and get specific answers before you buy shit online.

Dealing directly with China is a very different story, China is quite lawless when it comes to these things.
