Do not buy lights on DHgate or any other chinese websites: you're gonna end up with a cheap copy.I looked at Mars Hydro & Spider Farmer too, but shipping costs to me are astronomical. Someone's selling TS3000 on DHgate for $240 USD, I gather this is a scam?

I have Mars Hydro Epistar at the moment. Very powerfull (I had to move it a little higher because the tip of my plants were burning). But for my other tent, I now think about a BESTVA. I read a lot of good reviews about it. And when you look at it and compare it to other lights, it really bright more. I think it's a good price/quality light. We will see...
I didn't know about their customer services. I'll look into it.Thanks for that tip re knockoffs! Leaning towards a Kingbrite then. Bestva use quality parts or so it seems - I just don't like the reports of their customer service. Too many people saying that they stop replying to emails or haven't honoured warranties. Their Facebook page is a bit of a mess where they mock people who've been unpleasant in broken English. The reading I've done over the last few hours has put me off. Even a great product will have its duds; customer service is so important.
Thanks, that kind of confirms some of my suspicions. It seemed a bit good to be true. Note I only said the parts are quality; I've got no idea what the build is like. I know when I got my blurple light a few years ago it was very common for sellers to lie about their output. I got a partial refund on my Chinese light because it was advertised as 300w - not 300w equivalent - and only pulled 130w from the wall.Bestva has to be my personal favorite light review. I purchased a bestva light on Amazon a couple of years ago, based on the quality reviews the light received. I was at work and I got a text that my package had arrived with a picture of the package. There was items in the picture to allow me to get a scale of the size of the box. About 14" x 14", I was thinking that cannot be right. When I arrived home I found the size to be what was in the picture. I was like ok lets just give it a try. I hung the light and within a couple of days the stretch I was seeing from the plants trying to reach the light was obvious and I had no choice but to replace the light because it was no where near the power or quality it was advertised as having. I went ahead and send it back to Amazon and I wrote an accurate review of the light and how it performed. About a week later I received the first of numerous emails from Bestva. I quote, If you change your review to 5 stars you can keep the light and we will return your money. I kindly told them I would not do so and I would keep my review as it stood. They have contacted me about 5 to 8 times since trying to get me to change the review and I will not. If you think that is a quality light you are off your rocker. Bestva is the biggest rip off on the internet. They have nothing but fake reviews.
You were right about their customer service. I went on their Facebook group and lot of people were complaining about it...Thanks for that tip re knockoffs! Leaning towards a Kingbrite then.

We are in a different situation, so my opinion will not match what you are looking for.What light would you suggest?
I so don't know what to buy. I think I'm gonna end up with another Mars Hydro or a spider farmer only because they have ads everywhere. ughWe are in a different situation, so my opinion will not match what you are looking for.
I just ordered a Kingbrite on Alibaba, I've seen a few posts here saying they're good. Time will tell.I so don't know what to buy. I think I'm gonna end up with another Mars Hydro or a spider farmer only because they have ads everywhere. ugh
