Yup, LD is right. They have come a very long way with LEDs in the past 10 years. A lot of factors come into play here, but usually I do just fine with my LEDs compared to MH/HPS lights, they just have to be a lot closer to the plants, usually. However I personally have yet to see an LED that can compare to a nice Double Ended bulb like Gavitas.. Those things are just monsters. I'm sure there's LEDs out there that compare, I just haven't personally seen one.

you going to link an ad for spider farmer on every led thread for your free $100 lamp?

It should say. Low bin samsung diodes and bottom of the line supplemental reds and purposely underpowered compared to the competition but costs more than its chinese competitors.

They are copying marshydro business model. Wonder why mars got banned? ;-)

How close do you hang the new LEDs? My mini sunbursts can be less then a foot away without burning.

Not every no lol.

It should say let people make up there own mind.. And fuck mars hydro lights i have 2 of them, I hate the mounting system, I hate the dimmable shit stuck INSIDE THE FUCKING DRIVER! I gotta jam a screw driver in there to dim my lights, thats just stupid and dangerous risking my life . . . GTFO..

OMG there copying so and so.. Have you seen the 1000 copys on alibaba or amazon or ebay or WHO THE FUCK CARES I don't own any chinese LED business there not hurting me copying jack shit.. You act like you have some moral investment or something ROFL.. Why you care so much?

You got better leds go review those go tell people to buy those go do you... stop trying to be a hater on my hustle tho. such an angry dood for someone who smokes weed. Are you not getting enough? THC i mean..

and no i never wondered why mars hydro got banned? I didn't know they were banned.. There fucking ADS are still playing on the side of my screen here...

But for real your gonna need to prove there LOW BIN samsung diodes cuz i wasn't aware samsung had varying degrees of quality when it comes to LEDS they sell, was not aware they liked there name trashed and tarnished by selling lower quality brand name diodes and all like you claim is FACT.. without any proof,, but people should just believe you cuz your honest ROFL.. thats just str8 up trumpism right there.. omg I was wondering where you got this act from now i get it..

Ugh.

Thank you for admitting you dont know about led’s or anything about the lighting business.

The info is out there. Just search and read.


The “trumpism” is you stating bullshit as facts.

Yeah, it depends on the light output. I mean I have some older MARS lights that I can literally hang directly above the plant, almost touching, and doesn't burn the leaves at all.

Damn really? like the older moldes or something? cause the new ones the white lights with the reflectors have burned my shit having it either 100% too early or too close or a combo of both.. rofl mistakes were made lessons learned.

Yeah these are the old blurple ones. Bought like 40 of them back in the day. Only 15 of them still work 100%, the rest have issues.

Do try to keep it civil, guys. We're on the same team here

More than I care to think about! Yeah they gave us a discount for a big order but I'll say it was a huge investment. They paid for themselves after a couple of years and extensive use, but I'm still pretty disappointed that I only have 15 that still work properly. The rest all have issues either won't turn on, burnt out diodes, etc. etc.. They're not even 10 years old yet.. Meh.

For someone who likes to post so much you could use a thicker skin. Tough out there on the internet.

I suggest you research more before you post.

The grow business is more full of false claims and bullshit marketing that it ever was. I had hoped for better but there is a lot of money to be made on hobbyists.


And as far as legitimacy goes. You are helping to sell a light you know nothing about except they gave you a free one. You dont even have it yet but you are linking sale pages.

I turned mine down. Doesnt it even spark your curiosity why i would do that? I am not a rich man and i have awful health. I could use free stuff.

Thats one of my biggest concerns with these lights is how long will they REALLY last.. I know the claims of 100,000 hours or whatever there claiming is bullshit..

Its funny people call em cheap chinese lights but i don't recall over 500$ for my mars hydro being cheap..Fuckers die out quick imma be really pissed off.

We run hps and several decent quality led,s. When we started the hps always were out producing the led,s. Not anymore. We finally did some research and changed up pr feed and temps. The led,s most runs produce bigger buds. Same rooms, same lights. Changed up what we were doing.

Imo everything is headed to LED. LET ME BE CLEAR.... LED IS NOT LED... Some are garbage and some are imo more capable than HID.
