It's always a good idea to have a look at Octopart

That information is not shared. I can only assume that they would use their best for their product though. That's the sort of thing that would make an official Samsung-HLG partnership so worth the money, without even bringing anything new to the table. (I'm afraid that HLG affiliates in Europe have...

But are they S6 or S5?

After talking to an agent at digi-key, they do not and prob will not ever sell these diodes together on strips or a pcb board. So the question is who can you trust from the chinese market place to obtain these on strips, anybody? In the Classifieds section of the forum two were mentioned: Meiju and...

Not much for specs but from what I gather online, it puts out 3000 lumens @ 50W(?). I know one can build something more efficient/powerful but for the price, I don’t know if I can beat it (at least in Canada) and it’s pre-assembled. Any thoughts on this?

And given that they're not all at the same stage it can also easily become a problem to track over-watering and under-watering, and making sure that each plant gets the right concentration of nutes and pH level. I...

Yea and this happens like in every thread

You're the brave one: what's the bottom line? I see Meiju seems to be popular, are there any other names people have reported a positive experience with?

Is that so..? If I see a Samsung press release stating this I'm giving up any DIY-Alibaba order and paying the premium for HLG. I was under the impression they source from a reputable Alibaba factory, but if they get an actual, bona fide Samsung seal of approval that's a major leap of quality assura...
