link doesnt work and when i copy it to google is says
Hilarious. The middle one is even branded Nanolux which is odd normally alibaba stuff isn't branded. A minimum order of one is less common on alibaba too. Maybe they aren't patented yet, Hmmmm. I don't know if I'd trust the first gen fixtures. I got some of their first gen 630s,had a few duds, second gens seem ok so far. It's an all new bulb design too. The nice thing about the 630s is u can put the Philips bulbs in which although now made in china too still have the Philips name. I've heard good things about the solistek but they're pricey. If money wasn't a concern I'd go dimlux but dam they $. I feel like the 1k bulb would just limit your ceiling height. A true 5x5' would require a minimum of 4' canopy clearance I'm gonna guess. The 630 nano at 3' is about 4x4 ish, 2' bleaches a lil. Looks like the same reflector too
A friend bought some gavita knockoffs from alibaba, I don't think he had any issues. Just read description carefully make sure you get the right model, some are made for European power plugs/ voltage. And remember you'll have to pay shipping,import charges ,duties/ tarrifs ,brokerage fees etc and that shit adds up. Plus it takes a few weeks to arrive then if you have any issues to return it/exchange will be a bitch. It's likely the same nano fixtures made in the same factory tho so build should be same, maybe less quality control
I'd probably go nanolux. It's just weird it's branded nano on alibaba. Before you order, ask them lots of questions. Ask them why they're selling nano branded fixtures on there- before nano even sells them. Maybe they made a batch for nano and there were issues and nano said no thanks to that batch. Or maybe nano switched manufacturers for some reason and these guys are stuck with em. If u look around on there you'll see unbranded sun systems, sunplix, galaxy and growers choice to name a few
Philips most definitely caters to the horticultural market. Their line of green power HPS, cmh, and led are top of the line (maybe not led)and sell more than any other brand. Not sure where the untrue rumor about them discontinuing the their gp cmh because dope growers use it started, they literally sell
Sounds good but even w 11' ceilings my plants always end up too close to the gavita 1ks I've got. I've got some nano 630s now idk I kinda like the idea of more light point sources and it gives me an extra foot or more of height clearance being lower wattage. All depends on your situation I guess. And I definitely trust Philips more in terms of reliability. The 14er guys on ig crush it with the 315 fixtures- spreads the point sources out even more. The Philips 315 beats out all its competitors in every comparison I've seen
