I will begin with my collection of SMD White lights.
1) HLG QB 288 V1 3000k- Great quality and the footprint is perfect for me.
2) Photon Sunboard. Good light, company appears to be out of business. Larger than the QB132, but still no heatsink needed.
3) HLG QB 132 - I own a few of these (2700k and 3500k) and for the $$ they can't be beat. No heatsink needed.
4) Atrium - Purchased one of their 288 (301Bs) boards. great vendor and quality , but their 9" footprint is not good for me. (they recently added strips)
5) Kingbrite - Recently purchased 2 of their 240 watt "kits" on Alibaba. - Incredible everything. Quality is on par with HLG and the others; Communication and delivery were amazing. These have the Sammy 301Bs and Cree 660nm far reds. They recently came out with a board with IR, far red, and UV too. You won't beat the prices and the units are 99% pre-built. Mount and connect the drivers and voila..DONE! Mine are the 300k models and I will buy more. Note: They also offer the far red boards with Cheaper Epistar diodes for the far red, but maintain the Samsung base chips.
Summary..All of these companys quote their draws etc ACCURATELY, with no marketing BS thrown in..Unlike some other LED companys like Mars, Vipar etc.
More importantly, the lights seem to bring out the best in Cannabis, and the efficiency can't be beat. All in all, I run over 1000 TRUE watts of LED. If you search Utube, there are videos of a tech trying to blow up an HLG board on purpose..he failed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
