What a cool little board. I ordered one straight away. I feel like those UV/IR switches should just be the norm by now. Fun to see it on an inexpensive board. To be clear guys, there are 3 versions of this light. The least expensive one does use the LM281B LEDs. The other two are LM301H EVOs with the difference being one is 432 count and one is 592 count. All models include independent UV/IR. the 592 count model ran me about 160 US.

[@chrismasters7373]

Helle, I would like to ask for information. in Europe this is the cheapest light to buy because they now have eu warehouse and have light available, however I am a little perplexed by the number of 660nm LEDs, 168. kingbrite makes another 150w light that is very similar but with 448 lm301h and only 16 of 660nm. I had never seen a light with so many 660 LEDs. Do you think it has a good spectrum?

[@user-ns5pi3qb5p]

i used to buy jeries light too shane..the cree cobs were awesome especially when under driven..i started making led grow lights over 10 years ago..i would even buy the floodlights and convert them.i introduced growmau to vitally at chilled LED and he now works for hlg..im surprised we havent gone beyond the samsung lm 301 chips.

[@jebin2]

I did the same. I think those chips really are the peak that actually is possible

[@user-ns5pi3qb5p]

only trouble was the heat dissipation..the single diodes changed everything..i absolutely love the kindled with spectrum control and these are similar..which is brilliant because you can only get the kindled from america..if you can dial in the spectrum like this light and kindled then thats the bench mark imo..@@jebin2

[@racebiketuner]

Looks like a nice little light. Thanks again.

[@jonnycarrick7552]

That’s a great little grow light 🎉

[@ronaldsmith2343]

I have the very similar Growealth G1500 and G3000 which you recommended last year and want more. (But alas I'm retired) I also have several of the small I M V Sincere that you also recommended and they are working great and are very very cheap. No dark corners around here. But plans continue. THX for your continued test and post

[@MIGROLIGHT]

Hi, how do you use the UVA and IR channels?

[@racebiketuner]

@@MIGROLIGHT I use G1500 for starting veggie seedlings with PAR adjusted to 300-400 PPFD. Until recently, I had UVA on and IR off. No controlled experiments with large sample sizes, but lots of empirical evidence for better root development and fatter stems at the expense of height. Good for me because I transplant outdoors in a windy environment. The downside is their reduced height affects yield if you are growing outdoors in an area with a short growing season. This was a big problem for me with bell peppers in 2023. The latest scientific literature suggests using both channels all the time is better (closer to sunlight), so that's my plan for 2024.

[@hiroyopoetker]

wow power packed beauty!

[@redonk1740]

I have some KingBrite boards - not these ones specifically - I have the LM301B v2 boards (3500k). A friend of mine has some LM301B boards from HLG. Granted I paid way less for my set up, but his boards run SO MUCH COOLER it's insane. Overall I've been happy with mine but 6 of those boards on a 600 watt driver runs way too hot at full power. I built my own so I don't know how their ready-made lamps compare. IDK if I've ever turned mine up past 75%. They're good bang for your buck, but IDK if I would necessarily recommend them. Keep in mind, my set up is getting old and I can't speak to the current quality of their products. KingBrite is the cheapest way to get the most (decent) lighting imo. (or at least they were when I researched all this stuff back when LM301B was new). The general consensus is that they were one of only like 2 or 3 chinese brands making boards worth using. Between me and someone else we've bought probably a little over 100 boards and so far only 1 showed up looking off - there was a little extra solder on one of the LEDs. I sent them an e-mail asking if it was something I should be concerned about, and they replied with a tracking number. Shoutout to Vicky! Are their boards as good as Migro or HLG etc.? No. Are they good enough? Yes. They're not bottom of the barrel - they're decent. I was able to get nearly 3x as much coverage for the same amount of money building my own lamps through KingBrite than I would have been able to do purchasing a HLG kit or a Migro setup. Perhaps a side by side done by a professional would have different results, but for myself, they were indistinguishable. The only noticable different I had between the HLG and KingBrite boards was the heat and my wallet... and you can just manage heat by running more boards per driver or dimming. I actually liked that they kicked out heat sometimes because I live somewhere with cold winters (saved on gas heating bill). I've been subbed to this channel for a while now and the amount of information this man has given us is invaluable. Whenever I retire my current rig, I'll be looking at Migro first. He's demonstrated over the years that he really knows his stuff, and can be honest to a fault. Who else would test competitors products and publish the results when they outperform their own products!? He literally goes out of his way to provide us with information that the manufacturers of these products don't always provide, publishing unbiased results. I have a lot of respect for that.

[@dertythegrower]

Kingbrite haa always been one of the best deals.. since the lm301b and h came out... had mine running 247 all 2020-2021... fast shipment to chicago area from Hongkong, good email replies in english... half price and same results as HLG in those times

[@curiousbystander9193]

so true... the other day I was like....hummm, he's so positive about some xs stuff, good for us and I special thanks to him..... clearly he has some confidence in migro's place in the discussion, and he share's his front row seats with us (maybe not those box seats with taylor swift, or is it Travis's mother, but whatever)

[@PhantomPain74]

Thanks as always 🙏

[@user-sm4xf7ib9x]

King brite are awesome and they do have guarantee from samsung about 301H evo .. but about the bins : You cant really know which bins you get so when dealing alibaba suppliers you need to take in considaration . Basically its with all companies ..

[@niceguysanders2800]

should i buy two 144w uvc lamps and just grow with that? i feel like the mere cost of those lights hints towards a supreme grow.

[@julestburt]

Very cool - thx for sharing. Could you possibly use that light meter to show us what normal sunlight gives in terms of a spectrum? Would be interesting...thx. Watching from North Vancouver, Canada! Regards, Jules.

[@honeyballleckda1699]

I like kingbrite also. They made a long reputation over forums. Back then it was the highest chance to get og led's from china.

[@rhddfgdfdrgd]

i have 2 of their 120w properly some of the best light i ever had

[@aghaali5512]

Do we use it for aquatic plants ?

[@ModMax69]

So, do these UV leds do anything? You mentioned before that UV leds did nothing essentially?

[@MIGROLIGHT]

If they output photons they will do something, most growers add fluorescent UVB to increase oil and terpene production. UVA has little effect on this.

[@mbratr5103]

i would love to see a test by you on the new 2024 p55 480w/600w with uv and outwards rotated bars. Go Kingbrite, make it possible! :)

ive still got my 550 quantum boards i get off jerry 4 years ago..

[@PhillyJuggalo]

Hey Shane I’m curious what type of UV spectrum is it, is it UVA or UVB? From the spectrum graph it looks like UVA. I just find it a bit funny that you didn’t specify when you normally do for the UV spectrums. Either way have an amazing upcoming month Shane, Namaste.

[@MIGROLIGHT]

Hi, my mistake, I should have clarified. It's UVA at 395nm peak

[@PhillyJuggalo]

@@MIGROLIGHT no worries Shane lol thanks for the reply.

[@sh91899]

Interesting that there are switches for ir and uv. Can a remote programmer turn them on/off?

[@robhodges883]

Nice

[@timturk1899]

Hmm..?! Samsung LM301H EVO's don't always have that double blue spike (425nm, 440nm..?!)..?! I usually notice this double spike with EVO's..?! Are the 425nm(?) and 440nm EVO's different Diodes used together in these other EVO's, or is that The EVO Mint Diodes..?! Just wondering..?! Thanks for another great review Shane!👍💯✌️

[@rdreynoldsbanana]

EVO has a lower blue spike, i believe 437nm. When you see double blue spike is when old lm301h are combined with EVOs

Is the controller and driver detachable/removable so I can put it outside my tent if it gets too hot?

[@yuNoV2]

u could probably extend those with spare cables, use wago clamps

[@hiroyopoetker]

Im very curious how much the IR and UV are playing a role? Interesting!

[@racebiketuner]

I did some experiments last year starting veggie seedlings. My G1500 with UVA/IR worked significantly better than several brands of lights without these features. If it's within your budget, I'd recommend a light with these channels. You don't need to be concerned about the switches. The latest scientific literature suggests using both channels all the time is better because it's closer to sunlight.

[@dertythegrower]

proven for years

[@hiroyopoetker]

Well using just 5000k and 3000k homemade lights seems to be killing it! So when I added 660nm for a couple of runs I swapped them back out for 3000k noticing nothing. So the little UV and IR seems like gimmicks from my first hand perspective having not used them! Yes more side by side testing is needed!

[@user-ns5pi3qb5p]

im happy to say ive just ordered one shane and it should be here in a couple of weeks..not sure how much import duty they will want..i paid 150 dollars plus 32 dollars tax even though im in the uk..i wonder if the tax is part of the import duty? do you know why i would get taxed shane? i paid through paypal.

[@ohio_dino]

[@MIGROLIGHT]

Migro LED lights are available on Amazon

[@LED4all]

Why are they still doing 3000 and 5000k when plants dont care about color temperature? Wouldn't it make sense to just use higher efficiency 5000k diodes and 660nm reds?

[@randylayhee3018]

Umm I’m pretty sure that would result in one of those old school purple/blurple leds that everyone has moved away from, and I think there’s a good reason people have moved away from them, plants do care about spectrum and that spectrum combo did not work the best

[@timturk1899]

It's all about the Spectrum of light, and combining different colored Diodes creates different spectrums. The more Red available in 3000k°, combined with more Bluish 5000K°, can create different spectrums of "White" light. Especially compared to using only 4000K° Diodes, which are always the same spectrum.

[@MIGROLIGHT]

The cool white is higher PAR output per watt and warm white is higher % red for better photosynthetic efficiency. It widens the spectrum but how much difference it makes I am not so sure

[@LED4all]

@@MIGROLIGHT yeah, but if you got 660nm red it kind of covers it?

[@LED4all]

@@timturk1899 yeah, but studies show that plants don't care about color temperature. And by adding 660nm red you should be providing enough red light lost in the efficiency of warmer diodes.

[@MrElemonator]

which is better, the pro xs1500 or just standard xs 1500? Seems like higher ppfd values for the kingbrite, I;d have to check..... seems 750-950 is what people need, not 1100....

[@apemancrypto]

THIS IS NOT ON AMAZON FOR A REASON. Think about it, they’re participating with influencers but don’t sell on a platform that has an interest in protecting buyers.

[@apemancrypto]

You can’t just prove what LED they’re using. Besides break laws slap wrists later has people, a lot of people in the world, breaking the rules cause the repercussions aren’t enough to deter. Amazon may tip that scale. Same for meijiu. They have a warehouse in the us. I spoke to them recently, but no grow lights on Amazon.
