Bridgelux vs Samsung diodes. After a years of using it. Can any experiences grower tell the different between these two by the brightness performance?

Bridgelux vs Samsung diodes. After a years of using it. I have seen some comments told that bridgelux diode seems to drop off.

All LEDs will dim with use

Got both, using bridgelux Veros for 3+ years and have no indications to feel they dropped off any performance. Same with Samsung smds.
Those who claim it, they got any measurements to prove it?

Cheers

Yes.

Can't find one for LM301 series but here is one for LM561:

This test is by Samsung themselves.

Ok, that's the regular rate. I was thinking some of these were dropping significantly quicker, like a bad batch or design flaw.
95% after 10000 hours is still pretty amazing for a relatively cheap product.

I heard that the decay rate of LED diodes is about 3% each year. is this true?

You're asking your customers that? Shouldn't it be the other way around

If I was your boss I wouldn't be very happy you show your lack of knowledge to potential costumers

^^^^I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the boss asking the question!

It’s hilarious how poorly informed these led light companies are when you think about how long they have been in the game.

How would they get to know that info/data? = contact the chip-manufacturers, ay!. But they're too f-ing lazy to even figure that one out.
"I could e-mail Samsung ....buuuut i'm having a coffee atm and hanging at ICMAG ...maybe potheads know? i'll ask them first."

They should be paying us for all the info we the growers have provided them.

hi,
and if it was just simple irony?

I live in an area where the temps are over a hundred on a regular basis and I use no ac.
Have one of each and am quite pleased with both of them, they each allow me to grow right through the summer.
Were I to add to them, I would reach for the bridgelux with no hesitation.
