Buying Fake Samsung Grow lights from Alibaba

because he was a fucking Mong

 

I've never considered talking about people behind their back as something superior, neither in intelligence, nor in character. Nobody is perfect man.
As far as HH, he's said what he needed to, and that was IF you want authentic chips, purchase from authentic sources. There is nothing Mong about this; in fact, it is a logical statement.
cheers @Headhunterpipes

 

“Behind he’s back”? I’ve said it to his “face” many a time. But saying it on HES thread I wouldn’t say is “behind he’s back”... :/

What he says is ridiculous, especially in this thread. He called Samsung and China and can confirm there are no real diodes coming out of China I believe was the jist! LOL!!!

but I stick to what I say, he was a fucking tool that spreads misinformation!

 

Meh... in the end I rather take my chances with hlg . I orderd the hlg 320 xl v2 R kit today to light part of my room. It will be here tomorrow at noon Lol. $412 shipped with discount code . I have a total area of 9x5 but the flowering area was 5x5 . With one way in and one way out , it made it tough to get to my plantS to prune and care for in general So I’m redesigning my room making the flowering area 2x8 , giving me plenty of room to work . Ill just get a small tent to veg in to keep things perpetual . I Would have went with the grow craft x3 but there is a 45 day turn around . ~ vape

 

hey speaking of diodes and healing, take some time to look up biomodulation. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that 660nm + ~820nm decrease healing times. This technology is being used atm for post heart surgery to increase healing. You can get a 660/820 light from amazon, I think its like 50W or so, and its probably from China (lol) but we aren't talking about PPDF here. I hope you have a faster and good recovery HH.

you know, bro, you can disagree with someone without requiring ad hominem and denigration tactics. Its ok to buy China lights, I like a lot of them, but I will never know what's really 'in the pudding' when it comes to China.
peace man.

 

More times than not it’s not even the components that make a difference but the people assembling the product. Photontek uses Philips lumlux and Osram diodes and the light kills it. Probably would’ve went with them if they had a 2 x 4 model. Just my 2 cents being a union man lol ~ vape

 

To be honest Headhunterpipes I don't think companies like Kingbrite are using fake Samsung LEDs. However there are many companies on Alibaba that aren't trustworthy and would pull you off but especially KingBrite has a pretty good reputation and I read about a few people who had problems with their quantum boards and KingBrite was very helpful about that.
Eventhough Samsung told you that they weren't shipping their LEDs to any companies you named them in China doesn't mean they aren't selling their LEDs... for example it would also be possible that they buy it from an intermediate seller.

 

Samsung is just not selling their diodes directly to Chinese led manufacturers . They are buying from a third party . Thats the reason Samsung says they don’t sell their diodes to Chinese manufacturers. Kinda like when we buy seeds from banks. Some breeders only indorse certain company’s to carry there genetics like fast buds. They will tell you where you can legitimately get their genetics. Doesn’t mean that other company’s can’t buy their gear and resell it ...
Just means they are not endorsed by the breeder which should through up a red flag in my book. . Greybeard seeds was passing off other seeds as fast buds seeds and also Mephisto genetics . Both companies are now or already have replaced those bean to costumers that purchased Greybeards knock offs.
Being able to get seeds from reputable US based company like North Atlantic seed company or jbcseeds is awesome . I use to deal with attitude and even though I really didn’t have any issue, I was always wondering if I was really getting what I paid for as they wouldn’t ship to the US in their breeder packs Just food for though.
Wide awake at 2:45 am and my rant has given me something to do lol ~ vape

Alibaba is the Chinese equivalent of Amazon. I would steer clear from buying anything from Alibaba. It is chock full of counterfeit products.
I think your making a great decision by buying any grow equipment here in the USA.

I would compare Aliexpress to Amazon. AliB is normally interested in larger commercial sales.
There are still many original products on Alibaba as well. Also, some products that are common place items but are being sold for exuberant prices, sure why not? The electronic buck boosters I use can only be found on that site; there is no other such thing, and at $5 a pop, and a better range, it outperforms the Meanwell version.
I would not expect any of their warranties to be good, but some things are still better to buy oversees.
I have some China lights that work great and I have some HLG lights that work great.
Also, some items, like water filter frames, that are being sold for ~400+ ? what for a piece of plastic? I will purchase that kind of stuff for $30 on AliB, nothing to do with knockoffs.

 

To be honest now it sounds like you're building wild theories and in my eyes you never delivered trustworthy evidence

 

I have 4 kingbright led lights from alibaba for over a year now and love them. I have awesome yields and great light penetration. I give them 2 thumbs up. This is my opinion from a kingbright user....
