Hi!

Anyone know if this is legit ? https://www.infinite-electronic.hk/

Or if its fakes? as i want 100 strips, the price would be 50% the cost of digikey, but its not just about the cost, i want the real product ofc.

Any European supplier?

Thanks a lot

Thanks for posting this. I came across this couple weeks ago as well. I have no idea how legit they are. If you end up ordering from them please share your experience.
Im going to see if i can order a handful of strips. You can probably add a buck or two for customs fees

Edit: looks like a scam site.

I had a buddy lose $890.00 US dollars to them, stay away, they are very well known for ripping people off. My buddy said they sounded legit at first, they answered all his emails and his phone calls, then once they got his money, they quit answering his emails and his phone calls. They even sent my buddy a DHL tracking number, that said the shipping label was created and the item was awaiting pickup by DHL, it showed that the package was going to him, in his city and state. Then once he wired his money to them that tracking number showed "the package pickup request was canceled" And they only accept bank to bank wire transfers, so once they have your money you really have no way of getting it back. So... like that old saying goes, if it sounds to good to be true, then it most likely is!

Really sad to know that thanks for the information.

My problem is not about saving money on digi-key, but the shipping to Spain can be a headache with customs and everything, if i had a supplier on Europe, would be way easier..

dear futuretech I found all of what I neeeded and a lot more from a site called led-tech.
they are legit and have some serious gear, also a lovely web app to simulate the spectrum and a lot of data for you to design your led fixture!
hope you find what you search for it took me some serious effort to districate myself in the forest of bad info and worse sellers out there!

usually if it too good to be true it isn't true...

I can personally vouch for led-tech. They are solid.

Have you considered the bridglux eb series gen 3? Its half the cost of the f series, when you buy enough. The Samsung i think come up on top with efficiency , but not by much. They just became available on digi just hours ago.
Worth looking into.

Thanks a lot both you guys for taking your time and research and share with me, i will see if they can supply me!

I see they dont have the ones i need, what about the LM301B? i plan running 96 x SI-B8V521560WW on 8 x Mean Well HLG-320H-48A for max effiency in terms of distribution and temperature. What could i do using LM301B?

I use the LM301B xt model not a strip but rectangolar, try give alook to the rectangular pcb with the extra red channel, soon I plan to expand(hopefully sooner than later) and those are in the shoplist the added reds migth get you finished few days earlier and boost up the emerson effect plus other effect I'm shurely not aware of... I personally like to hang the drivers outside the growing ambient even if it cost me a little bit of efficiency is an heat source less in the ambient(maybe you want those inside depending on your climate)

Sadly many of the diy’ers have gone mia from this site recently. I dont feel comfortable giving wiring advise. Having said that, it seems to me you can run 12 of those strips on each of the drivers. But i wonder if running them that softly is necessary. You would be running each strip around 27 watts. Yes u get more lumens per watt, but i think most here would tell u to running them that softly is not worth the extra up front cost for twice the number of strips.
But that is your decision to make.
Hopefully someone can chime in n confirm above combo for u.

I understand what you saying, but the temperature efficiency for me is really important on the conditions i have, otherwise i can't have 2 flowering rooms, the temperature is something difficult for me to combat without AC, if i can cut that of the equation in part, i dont mind spending some extra bucks.
