I’d take a Kingbrite 240w for $160 over an HLG 135w for $180 if you have a limited budget.

HLG’s top binned diodes aren’t going to make up for the additional 105w.

I’ve see numerous people say KB/Meijiu sent replacement drivers & boards without having to ship back the originals and shipping is faster than most of my domestic orders.

Mars and SF are a different story.

Is that a true ~240 at the wall?

Can someone please confirm the Mars Hydro/Spiderfarmer companies aren't owned by Bayer/Monsanto?
They already bought up Botanicare, General Hydro, Gavitas...

5. Top bin diodes, including far-red which are important for numerous reasons
There's no mention of far red diodes on Gavita's webpage, just deep red (660nm).

Also the spectrum should show a smaller peak in the 700nm + region if far red monos were included with the Pro 1700e.

I'm not saying it's not important, but high efficacy white and deep red diodes are a common pairing with current LED fixtures.
