At 180$ 1 full run would pay for itself 10x over. No one in this thread expected to get the results we got with the other 180$ light. No one knows what diodes were used. No one was expecting to see/get the results we got. Well worth the price paid. Anyone that thinks a high price=Better is very wrong. I don't care what the light looks like at that price.
If you're paying a higher price your buying a better quality product, with authentic parts that will last the test of time. How is that wrong!!.

The price of the light largely depends on the quality of the chip and the number of diodes. Just like our FC, FC-E and TS series are positioned at three levels, each adopts a different chip, plus our new EVO series, each The diodes are rated at 3.14 μmol/j, which will satisfy growers with higher requirements. There must be differences in their efficiency, but there is no doubt that they are all good lights and can meet different market needs. Of course, having good lights can make plants get better growth conditions, but it does not mean that ordinary chips will not get good results, it mainly depends on personal budget and opinions.

None of that matters in this thread lol. I have some of the best LED fixtures on the market that cost $800. Only the quality of the plants matters. Its clear you didn't read this thread.
No I didn't read the thread. My bad.
Relatively new on the site, so still Learning how to navigate on here.

In my first run I get around 20g of the tastiest hash I ever tried in my life. If you calculate all the costs (excluding labor time and spend on education) it was not a bad deal for a nooby, hoping to increase the amount and quality in the next one : )

I'm telling you there are boo coos of new people getting into the LED manufacturing business every year. They are kicking the sh_t out of the expensive lights because they are just breaking into the business. It's starting to look like the Wild West in the LED business. The last LEDs I used were $90 bucks each and I used 2 of them and they kicked ass.

I'm curious what kind of heat they produce using 3 separate drivers. They can be separated into singles if need be.

I see they added a 20 light bundle for $600 with a 100$ off coupon. That works out to be $25 for ea 120watt light.. 2400 watts total for $500.

I think any of these LEDS are better than the old blurple lights. I hated those.

Got 1 on the way, about a week to get here. Going to put it in a 3x3 and use it for flowering at first. Definitely need to see if it will/how it will veg at some point though.
Cheap light is on veg duty for a while....ignore those ilgm wedding cake autos in back, they're larfy and one has no smell but I'm letting them finish anyhow.
