The Chinese Quantum Board Knock Off Builds

[Airwalker16]

Looks a mess though lol, wires busting out everywhere, extreme amount of thin shitty metal, bet it looks piss poor in the flesh, probably slice your hand open on it when taking it out of the box.

Well, if it does intact use meanwell drivers, which I'm inclined to believe, 720/3=240. Could be 1 of their 3 drivers: HLG/XLG/ELG.
But if they are, that's a screaming deal almost just for the $240 in drivers alone !

Once you look at enough baba lights you realize they’re all very similar.

I don't think these guys use LM301B but damn... For the price you get 1,920 diodes and 720 watts with insane spread.

I looked at types like that. Weird drivers and other details.

 

[DrKiz]

I have 2 of these on route as well, new flower room is under construction too.

What did they hit you for shipping per fixture?

I was quoted like $300 usd freight including duty.

He is getting 1200 Diodes though. I’m still waiting to hear back from Hortibloom.

Meijiu has upped their game by upping diode count.

300+ per bar.

I’m curious on the diode count on a hortibloom fixture.

Meijiu has 2400+ on a 650 watt fixture on 8 bars.

Hortibloom has ? On a 650 watt fixture on 8 bars.

I’m guessing ?2000 diodes.

Hortibloom looks fancy though.

Weird, this is what they told me:



I’m going Meijiu. Price of Hortibloom is slightly more. Fixture smaller. Same amount of LED’s pretty much.
Meijiu has reputation. Unsure of Hortibloom. Paying extra for the fancy fixture?

Yeah I questioned her again, still waiting on reply.. I said a rough count from your picture it looks more like 280 leds..
anyway with shipping it’s quoted as more than the meijiu and less leds..

Well for me the light I wanted was advertised at 399.. she said 499 shipped or 514 with LM301H.
think I need 3500k for full spectrum? Will use from seed to harvest.

 

[DrKiz]

3000k for flower

3500k if you’re using for vege and flower.

 

[DrKiz]

Haha check this out: I have a feeling it’s another shitty driver bar light. Looks pretty fancy smancy though:

Wonder what the LED quality is?

Pretty set on a meijiu now myself.. only worry is shipping will no doubt take forever, will also arrive dripping in covid-19

That driver screams house fire to me lol
mega uv also, do you do uv or ir?

EcoSpees has bad rep here.

 

[Budjam]

Think I’m ready to get this one from meijiu... wish me luck
she’s just off to bed so will sort it in the morning for me.

thinking when newer strips come out in the future will be nice and easy to upgrade to as will already have everything else like the heatsinks etc
Dont really mind the price when I compare it to things like the growcraft x330. First grow it will pay for itself in money saved from not buying my own green
got them to chuck in an extension cable for the driver so I can mount it outside the tent




will come in at under £400..

 

[DrKiz]

Very nice homie!

I’m going to drop the hammer on those MJ-650’s as well. I love the Meijiu Majo’s, these look like a slight improvement even over those.

I learned from purchasing those that the money spent was forgotten after the first harvest.

Easy to sell these lights anyways and trade up.

 

[DrKiz]

Looks like I’m going to be the proud owner of another Meijiu too. Shipping is going to take over a month due to things, but no rush at the moment.

If I wanted it 10 days shipping it would have cost $400 at this time. She gave me both options.


$650 USD. Are you kiddin!

 

[Sleez]

I built my own fixture using three King Brite 240w kits with individual heatsinks. Loving the shit outta it. Pretty confident I’ll hit 2.6-2.7lbs this next run with 4 plants at 500w.

So you have 3 drivers and 3 different fixtures?

Nice one, it will be like Christmas day when you unwrap that big beast, looks awesome.

 

[Booga]

Those look great the only thing is that i'm not familiar with the driver how reliable is Inventronics?

Yezzir, I’m on a 15amp 120v line so I stagger the on times of the drivers to avoid the inrush current popping the fuse

Last question lol. How far do you stagger the on times? Like minutes apart?
