Trying out different options to see differences myself

only been a little over 24 hours but mine is still running fine and plants havent acted adversely yet. Would take the one you returned any day at 49$. No clue about the light tracker posted about though

I guess I could download the app people have been talking about to at least compare against the other diodes at the same height. The numbers prob wont be accurate but i would be looking at the difference in numbers vs the numbers themselves

Waiting for @Marq1340 to post a deal on one:bigjoint: They seem brighter than my lm301a's 561c's and 561b's though

this may be a dumb question but how would you like us to verify that they are official 301b's and not "good replicas"?

I already have it up. Not sure how many questions I can answer as I have only had it a few hours

They look like 301b's to me..

Not risking burning your house down? lol

Had a few drinks in me when I stumbled across one of the lights @Marq1340 posted. The upbud 2000w for 49 bucks just arrived. It looks just like the picture the 2 board setup. each board has 196 diodes of 3/5k, 1ir diode, and 13 reds. The board is coated and looks water resistant. The aluminum...

Well sh*t, if we have people running the regulars at nominal with no issues then im not sure why your h.o's would be any different if test says same temps...

i meant comparing one strip to another by literally counting led's... What is the temperature of the regular and h.o. strips at nominal power?

hook it up and test it. Your atmosphere is going to different than bridgelux test environment... Get a infrared thermometer or even most quality electrical tester pens have a temperature sensor on them as well. Check for temperature and stray current at the same time lol... way better than...

Id assume the H.O. has a better quality strip, layers, copper, etc... Everyone has said the regular strips felt under rated and could handle more with heatisink, so the H.O should have a better quality strip to handle an increased nominal power without external heatsink. If you want to push...

just going off of him stating "The EB Gen 3 come in at $8.29 per 27W if ran at 1.4a the nominal current (2.8a max). ".. but yeah if they are double the voltage and same .7/1.4 then he would need heatsinks to run at 1.4(max)

Don't quote me on this as I may have to do a little digging but at 1.4a on the 4ft strips you shouldn't need heatsink as its the same as running .7a on the 2ft strips and we have plenty of members running the 2ft strips at .7a without heatsinks. How many strips are you planning to use per...
