Appreciated! I recently purchased your 750w Array, and I love the design. It's simple, well built, and economical. I've yet to install them because my flower room is also my drying room, which is hung atm, but I'm looking forward to my next grow with your lights. Again, appreciated.

[@MJW1423]

Seems like a great little budget line thanks again Shane and I hope all is well with you and yours have a blessed day my friend keep on keeping on.

[@rickthedragon696969]

I am really surprised with this light! Infact I am amazed, such good results for the size is awesome. After seeing the comment below about the 150w for £89 it seems beyond belief. I hope this is the start of a new style of light for a really excellent price for the true beginner 😃😃😃

[@Mainewoodsgrow]

A good cup of coffee, Shane, and an honest review... that's a good morning indeed.

[@MIGROLIGHT]

Thanks Brett.

[@trent12363]

I bought 2 ativia qh1000 lights off Amazon. 35$ each. 100watts, full spectrum, with dimmer/ daisy chain features too. It advertises 2.9 umol/j. 🤷‍♂️ It says they are unavailable right now, but I couldn't pass up 100w for 35$. Wasn't even on sale.

[@jlancer1501]

Just reading all the other comments and wondering.. Personally I would only buy tried and tested to make sure I had high performance and quality. But, my first light was a cheap 150w quantum board. These kinds of lights definitely have a place in the market but I concur with driver quality. The meanwell driver on my first QB died after a little while. It would be interesting to run a light test on some of these cheap lights to see how long they last..

[@eugeniahobbs41]

I installed one of these as a replacement light in a dead square fluorescent ceiling fixture. About 5 times more light output than original 40watt T12 U shaped fluorescent.

[@johnb203]

Ive had 2 of those chinese drivers on older lights and the dimmer function has gone on both of them after about 8 months each, having it on full power is ok, dimmer active, light starts flickering and going bright/dim/bright/dim.

[@AnthonyMooney91]

You could try replace or clean the dimmer pot with alcohol!... it works for guitar volume knobs!🤷‍♂️

[@MIGROLIGHT]

Thanks for letting us know John

[@mmenil1]

What B Mooney said, if you try to clean it and it still doesn't work than replace it. Cut the wire close to the dimmer and than open the dimmer up to see what K value it has, since its a single driver, it will most likely be a 100K potentiometer. Just go online and find a replacement, they are cheap, 6 bucks or even less.

[@johnb203]

Cheers for all the replies guys. I will get the rubbing alcohol and elec tester/solder gear out later and give it a go after work, then update this 👍 I have just been keeping the light on full and adjusting the height depending on the "tomatoes or other plants" needs at that time using the app and BT LUX tester off Shanes other videos. Be nice for both dimmers to work again though

[@graemedevine9651]

Hi Shane great video of a new product, would it be consistent with all the lights as a lot of cheap ones produce different results.

[@felixsegebrecht8497]

Great Video again. I like it so much how you understand business. No blaming, no lying, just giving the free choice and try the best in the way you think it should be... I bought a similar "Chinese" Light on amazon. It seems to deliver more or less the same. But what some others report. It flickers from time to time, especially in some "lower" dimmer ranges and than more often. But not to much bothering... It's running for about two weeks now. I'm Curious how long it will work. Since the legalisation here in Germany and my spontaneous decision to grow for friends - I love this plant since ever, I hadn't a big choice, because almost all lamps were sold out. Im curious, if we will see a peak in nationwide energy consumption in Germany for this April/May... 😁 But fore sure my next light will be a Micro Aray 2. The "Layout" for me seems most convincing and the scalability as well is a strong argument.

Goodmorning TKS For the info.

[@jma182]

the best and cheapest one i've found on amazon is a lonwon 320 w (from the wall) inventronics drivers, samsung diodes got it on promo for 99 bucks, even without promo last i saw it was 110 bucks, it will work great on my 2.5 x 2.5 mom tent, the maker claims it works great on a 3x3, i tried it on my 4x4 and it just might pull off a 3x3, its been working great imo. i picked up their bigger 480w for my 4x4 to test it out, same build quality as the 320w, it was recommended by a friend that got a few last year and loves em. oh and as a cool bonus it comes with eye protection glasses and a 5 gal fabric pot, along with the usual hanging gear.

Is there a learning curve using leds? I have over a decade exp using traditional hps/mh growing. I stopped when rec was legalized in 2012. Back then leds we’re junk and couldn’t yield even close to hps. Anything I need to know about these before I buy a few of them? I used to use xxxl sun systems, will this be a good direct replacement?

[@wesgregg6451]

HEY, SHANE: 2m34s "Board is not coated." - In the video, it appeared to have the usual Mars-Hydro type clear plastic/silicone/??? layer across the bottom of the LED board. I was curious, so I viewed the products' web page on Bezos' virtual junk store, and the company representative answered someone's question with, "Yes, there is a waterproof and dustproof layer covered on a LED panel. You can use it in high humidity environment such as grow tent or greehouse(sic)." In answering another question the rep also stated that the TBWTEK power supply / driver is IP65 rated. Which means, if I remember correctly, dust tight and protected against a low-pressure jet of water from any angle. Therefore, the bulk of the components *should* be safe against minor accidental splashes, at least from below (no idea about possible ingress where the wiring is).

[@uncledunk5532]

Could we get it in the UK then do you know ?

It's not coated. And neither are mars hydro. The coating isn't necessary.. All it does is attract dust hair and it's difficult to clean.

I wonder how much the driver resist on 16-8 system use. Usualy the driver is the first who dies, I will not use this unsupervised for at least first 30 days... My 2 cents, I don't imply that is a fire hazard, cheap is cheap, you cannot have 200€ performance with 70€ costs, but maybe I'm wrong.
