Hey bud got your message. Glad you understand nothing was directed at you. Just the banned guy.
He approached it wrong.
He probably should have contacted mods before posting as that was essentially advertising.
Anyways, like I said I went through the same rabbit hole choosing lights.
First HID’s, then blurples like Mars and finally onto Lm301b boards. I recommend you get one.
As far as Lm301h, the H apparently stands for horticulture. It has a coating to make them Sulfur resistant is my understanding.
There is a slight increase in efficiency over the Lm301b.
I’d still go with Lm301b though unless someone like HLG offers the H.
Why? Simply because you’ll probably end up with a low bin H from China which will end up being less efficient than the Lm301b higher bin.
China is now getting higher bin Lm301b, generally, if from a good manufacturer.
Please anyone if I’ve said anything incorrect please chime in.
With HLG you get guarantees on bin and warranty, but for a price.
So only stick with the reliable Chinese companies. Meijiu, Kingbrite, and Bava.
These three I’ve found the best feedback on and minimal complaints. I’ve found complaints on all, including HLG ... so I think these are the safest.
If you’ve got money to burn go HLG.
Keep in mind the boards are really actually damn cheap. It’s the shipping that gets you.
Just my opinion on what I’ve seen and learned through others and personal experience.
Good luck.
Oh, and the origulm. I’m glad he’s offering Lm301b. That put me off. Trying to convince me on 561c’s, but advertising Lm301b and saying I’d have to order 10 to get Lm301b. Lmao.
