Duh I was the one who told eveyone about Kingbrite get your facts straight please

no they were not, and you could ask jerry himself.

Pretty sure Supra turned me onto KB but who cares really.

This is so entertaining to me, some of these LED builders are as mature as a pack of 14 year old girls with their petty insults and mud slinging. Wonder who's gonna be an adult and take the high road.

Not name calling if your referring to me and not trying to start anything. Someone made a statement inferring that RS was some sort of godfather of the LED section. Just setting the record straight that he was not always LED friendly and helpful, simple as that.

No capt, it was a general observation about all the bs around here. You've got guys shitting on each other about who did what 2 years ago and i didnt want to name names but it definately wasnt you. Move on already people.

Im trying to encourage ppl to bury disagreements. Picture kumbuya being sung in the backround. If everyone would just take the high road this place would be soooooooooooo much better. thats all im saying.

Or better yet:

Damn I bought a China 900 watt Nov. 24 2013 and then a 1200 watt Apr. 07 2014 from the same Chinese company. I fucking love my lights they have 5 watt diodes not 3 watt. Also I haven't had any problems yet. I will start a thread on my next grow to show you how my Chinese junk works.

Here's realstruggles droppin some knowledge on the forum. Please crack a history book...

mine werent even real UFOs

i got mine in 08, after high times put them on the cover. i used to drive 4 hours down to the bay to get them from some guy who was importing knockoffs for $350 a piece. by 2012 most of them had burned out fully or halfway and the garden was a crazy mix of SE hps and half-functional blurples. i still have them and should tear them apart, theyre heavy and prob have huge heatsinks. i got my first "HQ" led in 2013, a solarstorm. i think those were just catching up to DE HPS at the time.

its fascinating to look back and see what they were pitching

"..in the first trial that finished, the grower reported a 12% increase in yield for the UFO-grown crop, which was side-by-side with a 400-watt MH lamp-grown crop. Not bad when you consider the UFO runs on only 90 watts."

20% of the power consumption - how can i lose?!?!
