Hello friend. I can not recommend a company who has ripped off HLG. The reason HLG has a cost point is because they have spent $100,000's of dollars to create, test, build, manufacture, and promote their grow lights. HLG offers customer service that is second to none and has supported our growing community for years. Giving away massive amounts of quantum boards and sharing knowledge that no other LED tech companies have been willing to share. Save your money for a couple weeks and build a true HLG fixture. HLG has a direct partnership with Samsung allowing them to purchase all the top bin diodes. These knock off brands are NOT using top bin diodes and are skimping out on other connecting parts.
Speaking with Stepehen this weekend, and HLG is currently having a design patent approved which will stop all of these knock off companies from shipping their lights into the US, Canada, and UK. People who have purchased these knock offs will be out of luck with no warranty or customer service if issues arise. Also Grand Master Level s an HLG distributor for Canada and can probably help you. Plus there is always a discount code for BLG10 for 10% off an HLG-550v1.
I am not saying that HLG QB are the only light that will work, however I am saying that it is unethical to support people/companies who have ripped off designs and ideas from successful companies which is exactly what these Chinese manufactures are doing. I can't even tell you the countless threads I've seen on reddit and other forums about people complaining.
