^^^But an A51 will almost assuredly outgrow your panel choice, all the while using less electricity and generating less heat. Dude, if you think the China based panels are using the same grade of diode as A51/ApacheTech you really shouldn't even buy a LED panel yet. Seriously and I'm not trying to piss on your parade. They're not light bulbs. They don't work like light bulbs. They don't create light like light bulbs and they aren't all the same. But having said all that a good grower with an excellent environment can get quite a lot from a budget panel. Have you looked at VIPAR? At least they come out of a decent factory it seems.

And if price is the problem, (as it is with me), go DIY. It's so simple nowadays, it's almost a no brainer.

This is all new technology, so if you want to play, you gotta pay something here. No shortcuts and no discounts. Sorry if that's too harsh for ya but it's just like the computer business in the 80s. Anyone for a 5000.00 dollar 20 meg hard drive?

Best of Luck and Be Safe!

I saw a Vipar model with Bridgelux LED's, then I saw another model which looked the same and won a bid on it, when I more closely looked at the spec, I realised they weren’t using the Bridgelux Led's and the heat dissipation method was different.

I thought about your post and managed to cancel the order.

From all I've read, it seems like Vipar are the safer budget option.

I will go with them when I make the switch to Led, most likely.

Good post.

What happened to the reps?

The 24k and 7k are the exact same product just different sizes.

one is a mid 90s lt5 zr1 motor the other is a old school original dual OHC ford "cammer" motor

And anything else on here that doesn't have pictures...

the light that's pulling a g/w

6 3070 3000k at 1050ma

6 blue, royal blue at 600ma
20 red, deed red at 600ma

I have no problem affording anything i want hence the two 35k engine sitting on my bench. So if it common sense and logic why would you not get the same thing at 1/3? What is the logic behind your impeccable decision making.

You mean like buying two engines at 35k when a factory new crate motor is 1/10 the price?

I think his real name is justin bieber...sounds like a spoiled rich kid

Guess since purple is an expert on 24k diamond now.

Wonder why the pro sites that take the time to test every TIM test the 7k and 24k SEPERATELY...and get DIFFERENT results to boot...lol. Same formula my ass..

But I guess your testing methods of TIM are better than the overclockers too huh..

Whatever buddy. Enough arguing over imaginary lights

For someone speaking about common sense and logic you certainly seem to be lacking your fair share...
