TacoBelle Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 i'm looking for an alternative to HLG's, obviously for financial reasons. looking for 240w quantum board.considering kingbrite as they have good reviews and are definitely samsung leds not knock offs.i haven't contacted them about shipping to aus yet as its not listed. anyone have any exp with them? or can suggest anything else?

buzzer Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 HLG's pay for themselves. I Got 1.6 grams per wat on my last grow with the HLG Plenty of knock off quantum boards out there. SF are meant to be decent but are not much cheaper. I'm pretty sure that MARS are doing one now that might be ok. Yeah you can buy from Alibaba on the cheap but if anything fails you are without a paddle for sure.

buzzer Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I actually said that some of the knock off qb's don't look too bad you moron dc. At least I know that quick bloom will provide customer support and honour the warranties should anything go wrong. Try claiming the warranty on an Alibaba special and see what happens. And yes diodes are bin rated according to the accuracy of the light colour they produce. HLG use only top bin diodes. It's like everything. You get what you pay for. Yes an eBay special will grow your ganja. Will it be as good as it would be under a HLG? maybe, maybe not. Will you be out of pocket if it fails? most fuckin definately no1 gives a f abt ur gpw except u. have u bought or even used 1 of these boards b4?
