Helios 300x LED (4 Seasons)

Hi Team can anyone critique / review this brand for me . Im in New Zealand . Looking at replacing my old COBs with a fanless option . These ones look ok and are at a reasonable price at the mo . Tent is 1200x800mm. If there are better options id like to know also as $$$ isnt the deciding factor , its all about the quality !!! Thanks in advance champions .

Hello, I'll throw up a link for the light so others can check it out.


It looks like a decent light, not inexpensive though. $690 NZD on sale right now or about $450 USD. It says designed in New Zealand. Was it made in China? I'm not sure.

300 watt light with a little under 11 square feet of grow space, so you'll be a little under 30 watts per square foot maximum in bloom. Less than some use with these efficient lights, but more than likely serviceable I would think.

If I'm seeing it correctly this light uses dual
HT-HLB-150H-48A drivers. I almost thought it was a Mean Well at first (saw the second half of the driver model first), but for the darker case color. I've not seen these drivers before. They do have a 5 year warranty and somewhat shorter expected life than Mean Well HLG drivers.


If I was looking for a good light I would prefer one that used a more well known and reputable driver. Other than that is there any more information on the light available anywhere else? Or is all the pertinent info on the Herbal House website which says "PPFD charts and more product specs will be updated shortly"?

There's a par chart for there 450w model.
If that's Helios (the small fancy colored lights) then why the same HE spectrum I'm wondering? Almost thought it would have The Spectral options that Made Helios.
Cool looking light though & has a lil ir tail too.

Nm they are not HelioSpectra. They might be Helios / Alibaba, idk?. Its a shame them Alibabians take names from legot companies n run off coat tales. Looks nice though, no matter i comes from, if it is legit & built well.
