Meiju 240w vs BestVa DC series 1500w

[Kl420]

Hey guys does anyone have experience with both of these lights? They both use Samsung LM301h leds and claims to have UV, IR, 660nm red and 3000k, 5000k LEDs. But the bestva is burple and the meiju is a board with white light. They both have similar actual wattages. What do you think? Losing my mind over light choices

Go with the Meiju or Kingbrite boards, they work well. The bestva blurples are cheap, and some have success with them, but you get what you pay for. The Meiju boards are built like HLG boards, but much more affordable. I run Kingbrite boards in 3000k and want to buy more, the Bestvas seem cheap and gimmicky.

If you are in the USA check out Growdaddyleds.com. They are selling Kingbrite stuff from here in the states, cheaper shipping. They are having a sale now on quantum boards, if you buy two you save 20 bucks each. Also Kingbrite has some stock in the US if you message and ask they have cheaper shipping. I was quoted 300 bucks for 2x240w boards to my door.

Kingbrite also has a new 320 watt board that would be perfect for a 2x4 if thats what you got.

Ive got the 240 watt board coming up on almost a year use no problems and it was under $200 shipped from china. I got the 3500k board because I use it to veg also.

Ill probably try to get the 320 here soon

I'm in Asia so straight from alibaba isn't that bad here. But damn 2 for 300 is amazing with shipping. I'll look for a deal like that and see

 

[AKgrow]

I've got one of the 320's. It's badass.

Get the kingbrite my plants love it!

 

[Kl420]

Wow looking good. I'm gonna get one 240w for now and later upgrade to another one due to my budget. That's the plan for now

Do you have a 2x4? If so what size fan are you running?

 

[AKgrow]

I got out of tents and have rooms set up now. I did grow out a little over a lb in a 4*4 with viparspectra boards, about 500 watts. Ran a 6" exhaust.

 

[AKgrow]

For a 2*4 I'd still run a 6", but probably get away with 4".

I'll be chopping and resetting next weekend, going to rearrange and do a proper thread on the next round.

Damn sun, that's a sick set up. So what size of exhaust do you think a 6x3 tent have?

 

[frogyrogy]

you get what you pay for

That's my opinion when comparing Kingbright to HLG . . . How do you think they manage to give you these cheap prices? By reducing quality, customer service and using sweatshop labor. I'll pay more for the HLG

 

[Allegedly]

I have a HLG 550, and i have a Meiju 240 with the 301b diodes. they are not the same materials, just no way.
