Hey All!
Last year I set on a mission to find a light that will really shine in a 4x4 area without having to set my wallet on fire. There is no question that the Chilled, Gavita, & Fluence lights fit the bill. But they are all about $1k+ each.
I learned a lot from our DIY'ers here and they have made some cool lights. Through them I learned of Kingbrite on Alibaba. They have a 600W - 5 Bar - LED light here: https://www.alibaba.com/product-det...pm=a2700.wholesale.deiletai6.4.163ace85lHj0jx
I purchased this light. I ran a grow through with it and yielded 30oz from my 4x4 even with a light leak and two hermie plants. Done in coco with a DTW system using Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect.
Yesterday I finally received my Apogee SQ-520 quantum sensor so that I could really test this baby out. Here is my PPFD map for the light. I only did the measurement to keep the PPFD at 1k or under as I don't supplement with CO2. I'm pretty amazed with it. Running it at 600W at 14" from the canopy, these are it's measurements:
Can I get a high five? That's an amazing PPFD map for a light that is $600 delivered to your door. Customer service from Vivi at Kingbrite has been amazing.
I see a ton of questions about lights, but nobody has really reviewed their bar lights. I'm very impressed. Great quality finned heat sinks, Meanwell driver. Samsung LM301H diodes (top bin) and Cree 660nm red diodes.
Questions welcomed if you have any. Just thought I would share.
