I don't think it's a sidegrade. The expensive lights use it (MW) for a reasonit's the specs that matter. All companies will choose who can make the item for the least $$. They all use the same or similar spec components. IMO it's not a big deal. Comparing the specs is what matters most.
It's actually lot simpler than that: Shenzhen LG-LED Solutions Technology Limited is Mars-HydroMoso do look quite big. Which happened quite quickly. The address is the posh side of town, and the manufacturing facility looks good. They are on the stock exchange. So it's can't all be lies.
95% efficiency doesn't seem great as such, but the HLG-320 manages 94%. Which falls outside the window, by modern standards.
I wouldn't be happy about buying top brand and receiving something unknown. I imagine peoples attitudes would shift if they had the wrong car or phone delivered. With a story about the stickers being different. Sat beside one you already have, that's literally not the same thing.
@Mars Hydro Led I think some recognition of the problem, and the offer of a good will gesture is in order. Isn't there some fluffy plant pots and boot warming mats littering your supply chain?
