I heard someone say once to get them while theyre that long lasting before they figure out how to make them crap out sooner and sooner.

Heck thats like 6-12 yrs of use. Hope my math is right. Light bulbs used to run forever almost.

If you dont run them at 100% they should live even longer

60w 15or20$ aliexpress fake sipder

Lol is growing with lowest watts a flex? If so heres 28w for two clones. ACI bar lights supplimental side light lights.

These are 65w each plant. These suck, my ACI bar light clones have chunkier nugs for 14w over its head. So doing clones side by side revealed a lot to me about quality lights and not just using any light.

The power supply tends to crap out before. Ive hung 10000s of diodes by now, only diode ive seen die in our own place is china diodes (from 2017 so about 7 y o by now) lm561C, without heatsink. Everything else still lights up.

I still have a rig with 3500k LM561c ( original first gen quantum ) with current Slate 1 heatsinks and she is till going strong from late 2015 . I dont overdrive them so thats probably why it is still growing me weed.

Citizen COBs are same age as boards ( late 2015 )

Mine were Alibaba fotops, large boards, like 5 qbs side to side on wide side, with 2mm thickness. They seemed to run really well up to 200w with no heatsink but there must have been some kinda deterioration. Alibaba quality obviously not the same as hlg. Not having a go at the diode infact im cool with them lasting how long they lasted. Though the same type of board but with baba 301bs are still running fine with minimal loss of output.
