I recently received 2x 240 watt units from Kingbrite (I like separate fixtures rather than a big one)..I paid a few $$ more to get Cree far red chips rather than the Epistars.....otherwise the same. I think they were $182 each and were pretty much assembled. HLG would be at least a third higher. You just connect the driver (wagos supplied), hang them with the supplied hardware, and plug them in..Mine came with w 240B HLG driver and prewired dimmer! I have the original HLG's and these are just as well made. If I recall, the R spec 600 from HLG is now $735!!!!! The new "H" diode from Samsung did not seem to be anything special, so I went with the 301B'sI think they produce CO2, which comes in handy if you really want to blast the shit outta your plants with really intense lighting. I think it's recommended for those who want to give their plants more than 1000 micromoles/joule.
Here's what I'm looking at getting for my next lighting upgrade:
They're not exactly cheap, but very reasonably priced when compared to the original QB manufacturer.
I'd considered getting two of the smaller ones, but I think the spread from one big one should be more than enough for my 39"x39" tent. I'm figuring on running it dimmed down below 400 watts to keep heat and power bill down to a manageable level.

ty that's what I got after looking at the pics the red looked the best with 3000k with the cree... $$182. was the right price, TY TY3000k
I like smaller lights because I grow a few different strains with different heights..That was I can raise or lower as needed.I'd considered getting two of the smaller ones, but I think the spread from one big one should be more than enough for my 39"x39" tent.

As far as I can tell, the only real possible difference between Kingbrite and HLG would be the actual boards themselves. Hell, I made my own PCBs in a high school electronics class, it's not particularly difficult; so I'm willing to gamble that there's no tangible difference in quality. From what I've read, Kingbrite seems to use SK bin diodes, which, depending on color temperature, are either top bin or one step down. I'm willing to take a slight, possible drop in efficiency to save a bunch of money.
Good Morning to all! :Doh and Good Morning sir
when your looking at the green grass and not the roots it's a Good Day... lolGood Morning to all! :D
That's what I tell my new grow students.."GREEN SIDE UP"...LMAOwhen your looking at the green grass and not the roots it's a Good Day... lol
Hanging bags, not certain, but likely CO2. I'll ask him and get back to ya. But for real...thinking LED COBs, QBs, or Pucks is the way to go. In this digital age, nothing like being able to remote access ya grow. Cheers.I definitely will! Do you know what model it is? And do you know what those bags hanging in his tent are?
