helios-spectrum.jpgSo I got an email back from the Bysen LED people, who are making the Helios look a like. The lady basically said in broken English type "for the exact chip model, ourRaw material director said it's a secret unless the customer had ordered our lights or are selling our item in their marke" Which of course makes one a bit weary!!! However she did say this "For helios series light, in the centre of each cluster 460nm:630nm= 1:7 we use cree led as lighting source and around 660nm：470nm：640nm：440nm=6：2：2：2 we use epistar led as lighting source" which attests to them trying to copy the Helios Basic spectrum that is posted on their web site that. She quoted me prices that are 1/3 that of Helios...Only problem is I have never even seen anyone saying that they ran a Helios grow. So it goes!!!

Yea, supposedly the Cree's are only in the center, but with epistar as well it sounds nice. Man, it's tempting to take a chance. And ya, havn't really heard anyone barking about Helios. I like that they disassemble easy too. I have not heard back from the Helios website. You think Bysen stole the tech or that Helios was just reselling? the Helios website says they are based in Canada.

Bysen is the manufacturer of the Helios panel. Their is no look a like/knockoff/copy because BYSEN patented the module in CHINA and have sued other factories who copy it. The helios website in Canada is just reseller marking it up by 300% for a "small" profit :P lol Cree in the center (1watt low bin ) Is just for hype and I doubt they use anything decent around them either; Bysen's direct pricing @ a PROFIT should tell you everything.....but that secondary lens makes up for it!!! ha...not

I've only seen one grower run the helios under the "raptor usa" name and he did quite well with them.............reliability is the issue though, it's your $$$ and your call. They are better built than most china stuff though and honor the 3 yr warranty.

Yea, just a "small" markup. I hear what you're saying though. The Helios facebook has videos of them demoing units and talking about features as if they made them, but I'm more inclined to believe you since they have not emailed me back. They don't seem to want to answer my questions lol. It's pretty common in all areas of business for people to rush into manufacturing with a pending patent and have their tech stolen so I thought maybe that was the case here. Needless to say I find it surprising that they originate from China with name brand parts even if they are low bin.

I guess it just comes down to saving the money if you don't have it. I went ahead and ordered some Kessils. I think Im gonna go with 2 350s and 4 150s and call it a day. I can order a couple a month and work towards a decent setup without laying out 8-900 all at once.

Props to everyone with the flow to throw down on Apaches I guess, heh.

.

Reading wise I like these places;

has anyone purchased from msledstore.com? they have Helios 210W lights with 8w Cree's for 229+ international shipping (bout 50 bucks to the US). I looked up the helios website and they want 500 + shipping for the same light. Can someone please look at this link and give me some opinions on whether it seems legit? I'm skeptical, but the prices are rock bottom. I'm not advertising. I just ordered a pair of Kessils but now I see this and I may cancel/return. http://www.msledstore.com/210-watt-helios-led-plant-lamp-indoor-hydroponic-grow-light-h160d.html

The "HighLite". I think someone was high when they came up with that :eyesmoke:.

"We believe the HighLite will produce results equivalent to somewhere between a 250W HPS and a 400W HPS, but with a power consumption of around 186W."
Somewhere between a 250 and 400? That sucker better be a 400 in this day and age. And it's gonna cost ya a bit more than $440.00 if your not in the hood. It's LEDs like this that justify buying a CMH :). I wonder what factory that sucker is coming out of?
