Ask 1,000 growers get 1,000 answers. None particularly wrong but roundabout in a 3x3 small home grow…

I pretty much agree with all @HerbalEdu said, good overall advice search those names and keyword 3x3 and look at the specs yourself look at reviews see what others say etc before you make a choice

Maybe in the mass produced factories in china. That would explain alot of the quality issues lol. I doubt that even companies like spider farmer and mars have that kind of automated technology. I mean they might be able to do technologically but that shit costs money and loads of hours in R&D to work out the kinks. I doubt anyone other than samsung/sony has the ability to do that on a large scale. The volume just isnt there for grow lights could be wrong. odds are that most of the value brands are made in the exact same factory. I highly doubt that US manufacturers have fully automated. There is a whole lot to that.

You're probably right about them being made in the same factories. The brands just create specifications based on their marketing strategies.

Do you have any experience with electronic component manufacturing or repair? I figured you were a barista

Nope. Not a barista. Not even close. I worked mostly in internal business application development before I retired. I designed databases and built applications.

I personally think that you will get the same results from a bunch of differnt manufacturers. The difference will be when the thing takes a shit. A good company like acinfinity will stand behind there product.

Kingbrite stands behind. Funny they must have venders in USA cause will get it faster than most USA companies. Bought severeal different times over the years never any problem. Samsung led ask top bin. Lights still crush it 3 years later

There’s no loyalty in offshore manufacturing such as china and other countries. What can happen with counterfeits the same factory will close down and run the counterfeits overnight. Nowadays they just steal the technology and rebrand it to get around. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if there is counterfeit lights out there. I just read on this site last someone complaining about a light. The light manufacturer chimed in and stated it wasn’t purchased from them and they direct sell to the customer, no middle man. That light was probably one of the overnight counterfeits, how else would they have got it? Lots of work to fake stuff, they just use the mold.
