Has anyone seen this thing? Shipped out of the US? looks like samsung LM301z plus diodes, 4000k 90 CRI. i think it has over a 2k diode count.



Par Test:



Many brands try to lower the cost by scrimping on diodes. However, the Medic Grow Fold 8 uses a high quantity of name brand diodes. There is a total of 2,800 Samsung LM301Z+ diodes. In addition, there are 64 Osram 660 nanometer diodes. I inspected the diodes to ensure that they are authentic. The diodes check out. They do not help us solve the mystery about why this fixture is so affordable.

The driver may be a different story. The driver is housed within the center chassis of the fixture. It is not possible to remove it or even inspect it without disassembling the fixture. The representative explained that the driver was specially designed for this fixture and manufactured by Sosen. The driver performed well during my testing. If there were serious issues, it would get hot and lead to poor system efficiency. It did not get hot and the system was very efficient.

whats the deal with the lm301z+ ?
LM301z+ is 201 lm/W
LM301b is 220 lm/W
I imagine a cheaper slightly less efficient variant

It's an interesting light honestly, but hard to buy with virtually no reviews or track record. And the mystery drivers aren't thrilling either...kind of defeats the purpose of trying to cool my tent down by switching from 600 watts of HID though, esp with internal drivers.
