cheap china leds

i have seen people using them and have seen good results from them. are they really as bad as others say? you can get a 300w for around $230 with shipping from the factory. everything now a day is made in china. isnt blackstar and other "top" companies mostly made in china?

If you're willing to take a chance on quality, and willing to do the research/homework about what you're buying, and accept the fact your warranty is basically meaningless, then go for it. They're a good deal when they work, and make you feel stupid when they don't. DIY is the best option for saving money and getting quality. Good Luck and Happy Growing!
