Spider farmer used to be called Meizhi. Shenzhen Aurora Technologies makes Viparspectra and Spider Farmer lights.
Been doing a little research and discovered a few things. Spiderfarmer and the rest don't make anything. They buy from lots of different factories that make various lights for different companies. So different lights from different companies can be the exact same. One thing I noticed is Shenzhen Merry -Tec Technology - the company that actually builds Spider Farmer sf1000 advertises efficiency at 2.4 umol/J. and the life expectancy is 30,000hrs. But for some reason, by time they are advertised on Amazon, it's 2.5umol/J and life expectancy is 100,000 hrs.Spider farmer used to be called Meizhi.

Beautiful grow room! Your ceiling height is fantastic. What soil mix are you running there?No, it’s not bad it’s good:)
I supplement with 2-315 CMHs when in needed in vegView attachment 1137647
The vendor I buy from on alibaba will slap your own company logo on all of the units and build them to your specifications if you order "X" amount of them. That's all the SF / mars / Meizhi op is doing. They don't own any factories. They're just a company with deep pockets who are really good at marketing and sales. A lot of companies do business that way. Hell, store brands at the grocery store are a great example. The great value branded items at wal mart aren't made by factories owned by wal mart even though it's their store brand. They contract it out to whatever food production factory meets their needs then the factory slaps their logo on it. I remember working at an auto parts counter explaining to people the napa gold filter was made by wix, but it was a hard concept for customers to digest because it was usually around $8-10 cheaper than the wix branded filter. Consumers were simply paying for the name on the box. Nothing more. I like to call this my alibaba / HLG example. Same parts made by the same people (samsung and meanwell). How much do you wanna pay for the name on the box? :)Been doing a little research and discovered a few things. Spiderfarmer and the rest don't make anything.

So whats the life expectancy 100,000 or 30,000 hours?The vendor I buy from on alibaba will slap your own company logo on all of the units and build them to your specifications if you order "X" amount of them.

Coin flip? I think that's about as reliable as those estimates tossed around :)So whats the life expectancy 100,000 or 30,000 hours?

Right! My wife worked at a charcoal factory when she was younger. Charcoal!!! Even chatcoal gets a different label slapped on it. You think Kingsford is different and better than the yellow bag stuff. Nope!

If they are all the same, why do some advertise 30000 hours and others with the same parts last 100000 hrs. This dummy thinks maybe someone is not telling the truth.Right!

I am frickin agreeing with everyone. Your the dummy. That 100000 hours is the fucking Kingsford name. And the great value is the 30000. Someone is telling the truth and it probably isn't Kingsford.

Idk. Dude sounds to conceited to be doing that. But you could be wrong.I could be wrong, but I think he was calling himself a dummy lol
He's a good guy ime. Disagreeing is normal and debates are fine... insults not so much.I agree. That @growsince79 has something against me for some reason. We just don't click for some reason. Anyway. Surely someone else knows what i mean?
