Can someone please help me with what brands are the best cmh lights? Thinking abt going with 2 315's. I have a gravita. Just wanted to try these 2 cut electricity costs.
Thanks
I like growers choice. Cheap and that 3kr bulb has a killer spectrum
All of these "brands" are just a company that bought a Chinese product and slapped their sticker on it, doubled the price, and possibly offer a warranty.
If you go on Alibaba.com & type in LEC or CMH you will see the exact same design and components an the name brand for whatever price the manufacturer charges. Some of these companies are respectable and will stand behind their product in the event of a malfunction.
For me I would rather roll the dice and deal with a foreign company than get raked over the coals.
You could probe them with emails to see how reliable they are.
I'd buy name brand bulbs though.
Just my .02
Good luck
If y'all are looking for some bad ass cmh lighting, check out ceramic solutions. I'm running 2 of their 630w DE cmh lights. I've had phenomenal results with them. The prices are on point and so is the customer service. Multiple bulbs to choose from as well. I've run the 4200k for veg and 3kr. Both are high cri and put out some serious par per watt. So far I've got one grow completed with them and I'm working on a second. Check out my signature if you want to see how my c99 did with them. Roughly one and a quarter pounds off of one light.
