I'm really struggling putting a kit together for four 34"x34" trays (8sq-ft). Was thinking of 6ea of the Kingbrite 240w for about 45w/sq-ft at about $800 total to my door. How does the price of the Bava compare to Kingbrite?
 
Hi bro @DrKiz new to this community been Look in at boards for a while but defo bava hands down is best for neatness and presentation how are your boards performing I'm thinking of gettin this for my 4x4 will be for full cycle
 
They also offer a door to door shipment but takes 10-15 days instead of 5-8days but includes all import taxes just waiting on reply to see about price difference on tht

I paid $185 USD per fixture. They’re more expensive than Kingbrite.

But they’re 4000 & 2700k 90 cri with 730, 660, and 385 nm additions. Dimmer and UV switchable. So more options.

That’s what I have essentially. I just bought the boards individually.

$340 each CDN to my door no duty each.

Have 3 in my 4x4 autoflower tent.

I fucking love them.

Have Meijiu Majo’s in my 9x5. Excellent as well.

You pretty much can’t go wrong as long as you stick to the recommended companies in this thread.

Oh, and go with Lm301b.

Hi, new here, I was also looking into these BAVA 2700+4000k LM301H and wondered how that spectrum combination compares to using 3000k LM301H?
I already have,
2 FOTOP board Kit Lm301H 600w 3000k w Epistar.
1 KB 288 x 6 Lm301h w Cree (3000k) 600w (Kit)
I like both but these BAVA models are much nicer build and since im going to be ordering another 10-12 units id like to make sure i will be getting similar results using them vs the 3000K models i mentioned.
Doing All Autos on a 20/4.

Thanks in advance. (Sorry if this was already answered somewhere else i did search around before asking)

Around 90 days in. Autos. 24/7.
Promix. First auto run.
Only two lights going right now. I’m a newbie.
Adding the third next run. Autos in DTW coco.
Pretty impressed.

If I were you I would get two of the new 320 watt boards. That is per 4x4. They’re the same as the 240’s except they have three panels. So longer.

Wish I had known they were coming out with them. No biggie though.

I like my 3000k with 660 but I think this is a better quality light and spectrum.

But of course, it’s as they say... horses for courses. Lol
 
Need some advice people out of these two boards one has cree mix and LG chips and the other has osram and LG chips. What do you guys reckon any advice appreciated.

I was gonna go for a combination of either KB 4 320w IR/UV, 3 480w IR/UV, or 2 600w IR/UV. The issue here is the price differences and the par mapping. While I can spread the 4 320w's more. I like the current par mapping and intensity points of a 600w or closer to the 480w. Someone said to have a even canopy par map, you want to hit about 400 at all points or higher. I could order all of the above in 3500k with a 4k for veg and no IR/UV, but the drop off without the cree on the spectrum chart is a lot for flower. It will also save me a shit ton of money right up front on costs, and then I could order the difference in IR cree boards from the US or separate. What would you suggest there? Better to just spend the money now?

Diode density is always going to give you better coverage, so more boards run at lower wattage/board is my best case.
Trying to find the balance between cost, ease of use in my grow space and coverage is what makes a custom rig designed to fit in MY space what's best for me. What are you growing in???

I've got about a 12x9x9 room. And I'm cordoning off a smaller box for veg/mothers, then the rest will be flower canopy space/equipment. So basically anything but the smaller veg closet I build in there. With 2 600w's I figured I'd cover most of the room, and even be able to get some side lighting for vertical growth with those so I can throw some extra phenos in every now and then. The 600w's I'm buying are the 6x QB288 versions, not the 4x QB288's. And I can get them without the UV, and with just the cree IR for the same price, but they are lm301h. Not sure which you'd say were better. And while I like the idea of spreading the boards, and it's cheaper overall on shipping, total cost, I don't have a par meter to see the exact output yet, therefor can't measure to make sure everythings within that 400 range atleast anywhere the light is reaching. The farend spread of the 600's I was debating on is well over the crossover point of 400. So if I hang them longways laterally. I should get plenty of coverage on my overall canopy spread.

They seem to be mostly the same board other than the separate uv and ir and for the same price may aswell get the one with in and ir it's on a separate switch so if u need it u can use of not then don't bit for the same price id get it with better safe than sorry

Neither one have a IR/UV switch on these models, one has IR, cree 660, and UV, the other is just cree 660 and lm301h. I was looking at that 720 bava someone posted above too for the same price. Idk if it's actually pushing 720w though, but gives me a better spread.

Yer that was me posted the 720w from Bava that's what I'm lookin at for my 4x4 only has uv tho on a separate switch don't really need ir uv just helps towards need of flower. And most people say either go with Bava, kingbrite or meijiu will get what you order most people on here will tell u tht with results to prove it mate. I like Bava just for the fact they are neat and tidy boards no messy cables all compact and nice... but each to there own all depends what your after mate

Got my eyes on that Bava as well

What about 4k with 660cree, IR, UV. Wouldn't that give me a nice intensity of blue and red, with a fuller spectrum? just going by logic.
