    Default So it looks like I ended up with a pair of chinese blackstar 180w. What now

    So I though I was getting a good deal on a pair of blackstar 180W pannels. Now I find out that there are knockoffs and it looks like these are knockoffs. I even moded one with silent fans. So are these guys even worthwhile to flower with? From what I am seeing, I am not seeing much from them. Now that I have them, are they worth using or should I pass them along immediately? Anything I can do to improve their performance?

    what watt are the diodes? what spectrums?

    i mean you could "pass" them off but you should knock the price down. dont try and play people thats not right they played you, dont continue the cycle. best thing you can do is put the website out there so no one buys from them. bash them file negative reviews ect.

    if you got mostly reds they will do just fine to supplement your main light source during flowering or fine for 1-2 plants in a closet setup.

    Dude, I would pass them along, for the same price as you paid, but not as "Blackstar" LED's. If a company that's making knockoffs, can't openly say these are knockoffs, than your eventually going to run into problems. Also put the site on blast...

    I bought them used for $320 shipped which isnt too bad and they are flowering models. I bought them because my 400w ballast went out and I thought it would be nice to try LED instead of CMH. Will one of these panels be enough to flower 1-2 plants? Are their colors in the right spectrum? How do I tell what watt the diodes are and what spectrum they are?
