Kingbrite review

[BigCube]

Are these Kingbrite overkill for growing lettuce, herbs, peppers, and tomatoes in hydroponic? Do I need the Red, IR, or UV? I live in Texas, so can't grow the good stuff yet. I know I'm in the wrong forum, but you guys seem to know more about lights than the lettuce growers. Thanks for your time.

On full up close, yes they would be. But dimmed down or further away, not at all.

These come with a dimmer. So you can easily adjust it to an appropriate light level.

Just seen my kingbrite 240w has shipped from China. Hopefully have it middle of next week.

I ordered on 8th. Says package on hold, hoping that means customs.

Must be due to dhl shipping. I almost chose dhl but their shipping details were very vague online about delays so that's why I chose ups. We will see when it arrives

Hey guys weird first post for me. Did they send you a tracking number or did you request one? I ordered their new board and was told ups hasn’t picked up the orders after the 10th and asked if I mind paying the upcharge for DHL and that DHL is the only one moving. I decided to wait based on me vegging and using the board for flower only

I ordered lights from Shenzhen Kingbrite Lighting Co., Ltd. on March 25. I got tracking info for this UPS Worldwide Expedited package on March 26. I dealt with Vivi Liu and she emailed me the tracking info without my asking. The same day it left Louisville, KY, it was delivered at my door (700 or so miles from there).

That is the usual wait time.
Most delays are in China, once UPS, DHL etc. recieve them they move fast through the system.
Mine left HK on Wednesday landed in ankorage Thursday then to Louisville, thursday night to Tulsa friday to me.

Bullshit. I ordered 4/8 and package has been on hold
For the last 4 days. Still in HK.

 

[Kanzeon]

TBH my next lights are likely going to be from Ecofarm. The builds have similar specs and less of it goes to China.

I ordered 4/6 and just got them 5/1.
Mine sat in HK for 13 days before UPS got them. 4/30 to 5/1 for actual movement.

 

[FowlGrows]

It does look like I will receive mine tomorrow. Ordered mine 04/25. Ups picked up on 4/30. Shipped out of china 05/01, cleared customs 05/02. As of today, 05/03, it arrived at alaska through customs and is headed south to me down in the states.

Once they hit HK the export customs is the holdup before your carrier gets them.
Once the carrier recieves them its like clockwork.

Recieved today. Cant wait to get this thing fired up.

This thing is BRITE! Still have a few things to arrange in my tent and adjust the light level but holy crap is this thing blinding.

Critical xxl and zkittles are going to love this new light

Might want to run dimmed a bit at first.
Yes, very bright lights!

I really like how you have literally slung the old light to the curb!
