Ty for the welcome! If you purchased from Alibaba it could very well be knock-off parts or diodes. So it was 160+ shipping? How much was the shipping to the US? Our sourced parts are listed in the original post " We build to order each light right here in NC, USA with parts sourced from Samsung, Future Electronics, Mean Well, and USA Heatsink." We also never disclosed the cost. So how much was your $160 board in total including the shipping to the US? Im willing to bet we can match or beat that price!Welcome to the farm.

Where do you source your parts from exactly? Your boards look like the $160 board I bought from alibaba. Same HLG model driver for the fraction of the cost. Just curious.
I looked on your Facebook page. $189 shipped to my door. My board has everything you stated above and a dimmer. Understanding you build here in USA but your parts are sourced probably from the same place my boards are. I am in no need of a board, just trying to understand how or why your product is any different from those other boards other than being manufactured in USA.Ty for the welcome!

For starters we offer a 3 year warranty on the drivers and a 1 year warranty on the LED's. Im sure no company on Alibaba is confident enough with their product to offer that to a US customer. $189 shipped to your door sounds pretty cheap yes sir but for 20 bucks more we can have it on your doorstep a few days after your order and not weeks later WITH that warranty and any one on one advice we can offer.I looked on your Facebook page. $189 shipped to my door.

You still didn’t really answer my question but got it. For $189 the last thing I’m worried about is warranty. Not hard to swap a driver. Any who, I wish you the best of luck and again, welcome to the farm. I’m sure your boards are awesome and a budget option for us home growers and I appreciate that.For starters we offer a 3 year warranty on the drivers and a 1 year warranty on the LED's.

Awesome feedback.I happen to own a hygrow light and a kingbrite. I can honestly say that I cant tell a difference in how they grow. Both do the job intended. The hygrow does have a much better heat sink and customer service is very good. He will answer any questions and super fast shipping. I like both lights but that's just my two cents worth. Good luck everyone.
Ty for the positive review! When comparing to kingbrite I see they use the Mean Well HLG-B series drivers. We use the HLG-AB which all have the IV/VO adjustments on top of the driver so you can really get the most out of the unit. When we first started building these we were using the XLG ,ELG, and HLG-B series which we discovered they didnt pull the wattage they were rated at from the wall. We switched to HLG-AB and the difference was quite significant so we have stuck with it. Compared to the other series the HLG-AB always pulls 5-12% more watts from the wall. For example the 240 XLG would often only pull 205-220 watts from the wall. Since switching to the HLG-AB I have yet to see one pull less than 285w from the wall and the majority of the time 300W+. We have attached a photo to verify. The Alibaba vendors may use legit Samsung diodes but I couldnt tell you for sure. I can only tell you we go an extra step in trying to build the most efficient quantum light for half the price of our big competitors based in the USA.I happen to own a hygrow light and a kingbrite.

Over driven driver. Fire hazard.
We have never had one catch fire out of over 1 thousand sold. Thats another thing that makes this series superior to other drivers is its constant current mode.Over driven driver. Fire hazard.
Yes sir we actually suggest users keep the dimmer at 75-80% during flowering until the final few weeks before harvest and then 90-95% to pack on the weight and density.Was thinking about this. Isnt the advantage to be able to run driver at about 80% and get the full 240 from the board?
Can I have a link to the website? Need coverage for a 4x4. Do these heat up like the SF 4000 might?
I personally never want to run 100% let alone over - for efficiency and longevity -Ty for the positive review! When comparing to kingbrite I see they use the Mean Well HLG-B series drivers.

Personally I have never used a SF 4000 so I cannot say for 100% sure but I do know ours put off very little if any heat because of the thickness of our heat sinks and quality drivers. You can find us on ebay, etsy, fb. Are we allowed to post links to other websites in these forums?Can I have a link to the website? Need coverage for a 4x4. Do these heat up like the SF 4000 might?
