What do y'all think of this light?

  1. Hey, first of all hello to everyone. First time checking out this site in over ten years.

    Moving to Argentina. Guy swears I won't need to buy lights... But in Argentina there's a lot of sketchy knockoff stuff. A lot of people think they're really good at growing and their shit is terrible.

    This is the light he's pushing on me:

    Should I aim to get something better?

  2. i try to only use quality Samsung diodes (see LM301H evo). Mixing with Osram and other good brands is acceptable.
     
  3. Welcome back. So I'm guessing Amazon does not deliver in Argentina..lol. I think I'd find a friend in the US and have them send you what you need. It's an option.
     
  4. Right. The tough part is it's hard to ship anything to Argentina. IDK if I can get a light here smh.
     
  5. I looked it up. Argentina is legal for medical. I'm guessing it's okay to grow. Some stateside medical states won't let ya grow some do.

    That 340 will do the job in a 3x3 area. I'm running a 400 in a 4x4. Not near enough light but it's kicking ass in there.
     
  6. From reading their blurb online i would probably pass on this light. Theres a fair few inconsistencies:
    - 340w of 2.5ppf/w does not replace 1000w.
    - they state samsung doesnt maie colored midpowers; this is incorrect and probably a deflection on why not using samsung reds.

    Just buy a light on alibaba and if there are import taxes, have them write a dummy invoice for a low value to minimize customs.
    Happy growing
