LED grow lights...

I was thinking of ordering a light from one of the Chinese manufacturers. They are ETL certified I checked the ETL Directory everything checks out. What should I watch for?

Almost everything! You can have success with china lights but generally very iffy if you want to pass any kind of inspection or have comparable quality to anything reputable and stateside.

No link and no name of light or company means its hard tou figure out, but since there are so many lights; even if you post it maybe hard to help as youd depend on someones opinion who tested the same light, and even like thatt this place become full of false users who only here to promote shite.

Hope this helps? I always read that Chinese made stuff is crap but I kinda wanna see for myself. It's either this or I build my own I need a lot of lights



Here's the ETL directory for that company.


Here is the company https://szriotinto.m.en.alibaba.com?tracelog=alisupplier_sns_minisite

Product would be LTST850w

Not seen this one, but it looks like a million other.

Yeah... Not sure what to do I'm open to DIY

Alright boys biting the bullet on a 800w version

I bought some similar to the 200w like a year ago par numbers were really bad I didn't bother putting them over plants. one of these days I'll take the lenses off to see if that gives a somewhat useable amount of light

Just an update. After shipping and what not it came literally to almost 1k cad kinda kills it for me. Sigh
