Lol vivosun counter offered a not 5% discount, but a whopping TEN percent discount, on TWO 180 dollar 5x5 tents. Lmao. The amazon direct coupons take more off than that! Mans word I’ve spent a thousand on vivosun shit in over 1.5 years. That’s the best they can do?



scooped up a 4x4 vivosun like new on Craigslist for 50 dollars. Half hour down the road. Fuck you vivosun.
That's fucking terrible, was this also a deal from their instagram?

I dunno, I've scored a few sweet Vivosun deals. My air quality meter is coming on Monday. You just gonna wait for the deals to drop. It's not like these IG reps have much power to do anything more than their communist-corporate overlords allow.

Wow, that is a very low price. I've got a couple of 200W setups with similar configuration, but with a separate dimmer. I really wish this one had a separate dimmer that was easily accessible. Does anyone know if a separate dimmer can be added to this model of driver?
These were cheap enough for me to actually start trying led. I can't vouch for them yet but they look to be half the cost of the nearest competition. They're offering 5 year warranty. The nearest competitor is offering 3yrs....
Some of the reviews mentioned that there is dimmer inconveniently located on the back of the driver. Not sure if an external one could be used.
Looks like all they're lacking is 5000k and name brand diodes.

In that low price range, I'm pretty sure you're not going to get the best diodes. The couple of similar boards I've got have budget diodes. I use them in early veg. I like them. They cover the early veg very well. The inexpensive board you posted looks very interesting, but I use the dimmers a lot on mine. In my case, it would be very inconvenient if I had to access the underside of the driver every time I want to use the dimmer.

No, the "A" type drivers used in these only have the built in dimming function located on the underside of the driver. "B" type drivers will allow for external dimming. They appear to use Samsung LM281b+ diodes, which are approx 75% as bright as the standard LM301b diodes.

The ad says smd3030 diodes. I'm expecting bridgelux, but not sure.

Good point, I coulda sworn I saw Samsung in the add somewhere, but I might have had another tab open with a different knockoff light at the same time and got confused. My bad.
