New style Samsung LM561C Board

thats correct.

It would be difficult to identify 561b vs c without a good control

with the variations in diode number and copper between different boards when i say control i mean exact same board

3000k 80s and heatsinks by the end of this week
Ahh, my mistake. I was under the impression you managed to test the difference between real 561c and not real ones, ie. Epistar, etc.

So, if I am correct to assume, I can tell by look, and if not, then by PAR, CLI and lumen output?

Edit: Meaning, that if I were to purchase a 304 QB from HLG or supplier, and then test with a Chinese 304 board I purchased, that if the PAR and lumens were the same, it would be safe to say they are roughly the same diodes? That would seem logical to me.

According to Alibaba you would be refunded the total cost including shipping.
nc208 is a troll. he has poor reading comprehension and is likely a reseller sock puppet. pay him no mind.

and yes, alibaba provides full refund including shipping. you just have to spend the money to ship it back, which in this case will likely be $60-80. -- and sometimes they will negotiate with you and just give you a partial refund and you can keep the stuff. i've done that several times on stuff that wasn't quite right. where i paid over $800 in stuff and got about half back in refund and got to keep the merch...

That is absolutely not true at all. I have, several times, received a refund when the seller countered the claim, and in all cases my credit card company worked with me to get my refund.

There is nothing confusing about any of my claims, its your reading comprehension and need to troll that is confusing.

Of course it will take time to get my money back, as is does with most places, sans Amazon. And I potentially may be out of the shipping costs, in this case, $60. And it will be lesson learned.

Are you saying you used to work at Alibaba in the dispute department?

I'm only using your words, dipshit.

nc208, let me ask you something, do you want me? Like sexually or something? You've managed to attempt to troll me in two threads now. I mean, Im flattered that you find me so attractive, but I'm into chicks, so I am going to politely decline your advances. Also, for future reference, if you are attracted to someone, try not to be so 5th grade about it, I don't like getting my hair pulled.
First if you think this is some kind of attraction you are seriously fucked in the head, do you even know how to talk to a girl? If you did you would know this isn't what picking someone up looks like. And enough with the gay cracks, this is like the 10th time you reference someone being gay or sucking d*ck, its in tons of threads, closet case much?

Trolls are people who talk shit with nothing to back it up. I've got my strips, I've done a full grow and smoking my bud, lets see your strips and your bud grown under these diodes. You talk alot of shit for a boy living in his mommas basement, so put up or shut up, enough typing lets see your strips and bud grown under them. If all you've done is talk with some dude in china and make an order then everyone here can clearly see whose the piece of shit troll.

My reading comprehension is fine, I never said I worked for Alibaba, I wrote I worked in dispute processing with card companies. i.e. I used to deal with every dumbass trying to make a counter claim on their credit card. Your most likely one of those dumbasses who calls in asking why porn sites are charging your card every month without your authorization because it said it was a free trial.

Can you explain then why Alibabas site even says you and the seller both have to come to an agreement?

You are a full on retard. And you are triggered. And I am so sorry that I've hurt your feelings.

But of course, you seem like the political type, how bout you meet me in the politics section for a more lengthier discussion. You can try to troll me there.

Your behavior in this thread is unwarranted, not needed and unwanted.

Try staying in threads where people want you and respect your opinion. Neither apply here.

I think that’s just the first step of a dispute, if you and the seller can’t come to some sort of an agreement than Alibaba gets involved directly, kind of like when you have a problem on EBay, the first step is working it out with the seller..
It is the first step, just like eBay. And just like eBay you will eventually get a refund if what you ordered was not accurate.

I've since received written confirmation that I will receive a full refund if what I receive is not authentic 561c az s6 5630 smd samsung diodes. That alone is enough for me to get a refund back from my CC company if a dispute arises.

nc208 is a reseller sock puppet troll with little integrity. he is trying to create doubt and little beyond that other than to troll.

if the par and lumens are the same at a given input wattage and it was cheaper do you really care what diodes are on there?

Having just caught up on this thread I'm more convinced than ever to just spend the money HLG asks for to be sure I get a top quality product that the seller will stand behind.

Spending a few dollars more for a product that will last for years is a fucking bargain compared to the alternative.

Good luck to the bargain hunters- but sometimes you get what you pay for.

$25 compared to $75+ is not a few dollars more, we know you're not the brightest of thinkers, but dude, simple math...

if it were something more reasonable like, $25 compared to $40 or $50... then yea, I'd likely just spend the "few extra dollars"...

you and reseller sock puppet nc208 deserver each other.. two morons in the same sucker pod.

tell me again how you'd like everyone else to pay for your student loan debt.. moron.

Weird, I went over our last couple posts here and multiple people have liked what I wrote, I looked at your comments towards me and not one person liked or agreed with what you rote.
if likes mean that much to you, you've got a long way to go, sport... only 12,000+ more to go

Still waiting on the pics of your strips and the bud grown under them.
why on earth would i buy strips, and why i on earth would i ever think growing marijuana just under strip lights would ever be a good idea? c'mon kid, you're smarter than that. aren't you?

do you really need to insult everyone all the time? ttystikk is one of the best contributors to this forum. if you guys have a personal beef or something between you on the political forum maybe best to keep it over there.

just an observation. if you want serious responses to your posts in a tech forum, you catch more flies with honey.

let's review...

nc208 follows me to this thread from another, repeatedly trolls, i attempt to ignore her, but she continues, so i hit back

then ttystikk appears in the thread only to like two posts by nc208 and make it a point to argue with me...

yes, i did insult ttystikk, and i am aware of his contributions to RIU, but like nc208 and ttystikk, you've formulated an opinion of me without understanding or knowing the entire picture...

we can continue to go down this circular path, and i can continue to flame at those who flame... or we can all stop, and let this thread be about the person who started it...

sorry I don't believe in greedy capitalism.. sorry I think spending $75 on something i know costs less than $25 is outrageous and I personally won't throw money away on something so trivial.

i've been cool with ttystikk for longer than you've been on this forum, he knows how i roll.

carry on reseller.

l have Just read this thread from the beginning. Nice guys! The RIU LED military has been unleashed on these Alibaba sellers. If we can knock some sense into them there is serious potential for getting genuine Samsung boards for a fraction of the cost of US sellers.

At the end of the day they have a PCB factory, all they need to do is make a good aluminium PCB with 1oz thick traces and slap genuine lm561c-s6's on there.

Poor bastards don't understand if they where just legit they would make way more money then they would by scamming.

let us not guild the lily ..

please make that ALL samsung pcb panel sellers are alibaba sellers..because that where they come from

re "greed"..its a free country "commercially" anyway.

cost .too much?..shop elsewhere..these are far from magic

and do not begrudge anyone for charging what they want..

also
i have some 561 b pcb panels...[oh NOOOO]

and there is no way they grow any different..i may have moved them 1/2 " closer..i never looked

it ain't magic chilluns..

after you have the photons the rest is grower talent and environment

Yea, definitely, I should be clear, HLG, and the resellers are free to charge whatever they feel, more power to them, if they have the customer base, thats great!! im all for a free market and capitalism

but if I choose to go elsewhere, i don't need to get shit for it. just like they probably don't want to hear it from that they charge too much..
