Apparently Samsung does not think LED is the future and will stop making LED chips beginning 2026.

I wonder if Bridgelux or someone is going to step as the main role or if Samsung is going to release a new technology that will change grow lights once again.

Can't imagine having to buy new lights again in just a couple years!

Apparently laser diodes is something that people think may be the future for lighting.

It’s not that they don’t think it’s the future, it has more to do with the market being flooded with chips, from several countries, but most notably China. Samsung has more profitable divisions, so they’re getting out of a less profitable product. My guess is a new leader will emerge. Possibly Bridgelux or Cree.

With China, banning the export of several metals, all forms of lighting, and chips/electronics, are going to be more expensive.

Maybe I’ll be able to afford a 1000 watter then! 😂

I’ll have to look into the new technology. I live life under a rock in some aspects lol.
