We have several kind k5 1000. They do well growing. We also have many fluence spydr x plus, fluence 2i and a few
gavita led 1650 and 1700. We started out with 15 k5 1000
kind led,s and several
gavita hps. They all do well. My fault with kind is i have had 5 crap out on me. The first run one stopped working. Second run another crapped out. They were sent in and they took care of them. They werent put into service until the free shipping to and from kind was over. I beleive first 90 days they pay shipping. They sat in boxes for about that before the room they were going in was finished. They are 2.5 yrs old and grow good bud. We have had 3 more recently stop working properly. The led screen goes blank and no led lights light. The fans all come on but no lights or led screen. A real hassle to ship them and now out of warranty. I called and emailed asking if this was a common fault and reply was no. I was hoping they could tell me what the common failure was. Shipping is expensive on a heavy light. They claim they havent heard of it happening. We have several rooms and several quest dehumidifiers. Humidity is seldom above 50 percent in flower. The lights are clean and have never gotten wet. Out of dozens of led and hps lights, these are the only failures. All kinds of dehumidifiers, air conditioning units,lights, co2 monitors and other fragile equipment. I have replaced them with fluence but will try to see if someone locally can repair them. Shipping both ways i beleive is over 100.00. I will not be buying them again. The main thing besides not working i dont like is all the fans. They have8 fans per fixture. Fluence and
gavita led have heat sinks on top of the led bars,no fans. The fans run continuously even when lights are on their 12 hour off time. They seem very strong and grow great bud. We have to have them quite alot higher than the other led,s. Best of luck. Our best runs with led,s are with higher temps and lower ppm,s. Led,s can grow much better than hps. You just have to feed them and manage differently.
