Nevermid that, I just reviewed the whole thread again, and my only two big issues regarding a51 are:

1) tone of voice
2) I wish their website was more betterful

I sent you the link. You're the one that's not aware. Here you go again.

You said:

I'm not seeing on their website anything about Epistar. Where exactly do you see anything listed except Brisgelux?
That was after I gave you the link. I've given it to you 3-4 times. Here it is again:

Platinum Series LED Lights use only top quality 3w high output LEDs from makers such as US made Bridgelux and Epistar
-- http://platinumgrowlights.com/faq
If they use Bridgelux, why would they say "such as Epistar?" How should we interpret that? The way this usually works: a disreputable LED company will use Bridgelux (or Cree) once, and then claim "we use Bridgelux." Or, they'll use one diode in their fixture.

Considering PlatinumLED's disreputable practice of ripping off AdvancedLED's name/image, I wouldn't give them much benefit of the doubt when they say they use diodes "such as Epistar." I would interpret that to mean Epistar.

To me it is absolutely stunning that we're having this discussion about such a disreputable LED brand all because you wee-wee'd yourself about Area 51 which is top-notch.

If I were you, I'd buy a PlatinumLED and prove everyone's wrong. :)

I have some stuff to say about this, but I pre-ordered my lights already so I'm scared to post in this thread and piss off eh before I get them
It's official.......EH is the boogie man!:mrgreen:
I recall at least two threads where Jeff/EH did the "no soup for you" thing. I think about that sometimes when I say something critical. (Or, I profess a willingness to bear Jeff's baby, as @DogKnot seized upon. :) ).

3.) I wait until the general prices are lowered and then make my order -again, WITH the understanding that I can take off that additional $50, thinking that MY price will be $350.

4.) but…nope! -policy has changed!

Yup.. rhymes with stitch and witch..

It sucks when you think something and then things actually end up being something completely different, but THAT'S LIFE! Things have changed.. You act as though you have bought 10+ lamps or something lol.. He doesn't need your money or want your attitude so take your couple bucks and crappy attitude and see how far your $350 takes you somewhere else..

Hell, I am one of the biggest fans of the A51 grow lamps but will probably be trying my hand at COBs at some point because of the low price and proven results.. But if you're not building your own, you really can't buy a better light, so the only person really losing is you :cry:

Cheerleading practice over?
Yeah…I already got that you're a "big fan" of A51 from your sig and "my first grow!". You should probably think about getting that tattooed right across your face. Then everyone can see what a loyal fan you are. ;)

How many A51 lights have you purchased? -just curious. I'll bet it's like 20 or more….right?

Check it out…I learned my lesson about A51 in this thread and in real-life…so no worries about me taking my money and business elsewhere. That's clearly been established as the action plan for me, now. Apachetech AT200, here I come!

"blowinA51" -HAHAHAHA!!!

Hey blowinA51, You didn't answer my question, though.. How many A51 lights do you own? It must be like 20-30 at least…right?

Enjoy your "first grow" I'm the one who is laughing…..at you.

The rest of you cheerleaders can get back to your cheering, now! RAH! RAH! RAH!!

how much do you usually earn per hour? how many minutes of your life have you spend typing in this thread? how many dollars would you have saved by the original discount?

Wow. You're still going. This is wasted energy. You could have built a beautiful COB light by now. I spent over 2 grand on a51 lights, and I never got a discount. I don't expect one either. I'm 100% convinced they are the best lights short of building your own. You think buying a 200 watt $1000 Apache Tech light will help?

I actually bought a Platinum P150 to play with in veg. They're dark gray. Not white. It's cool to check out the colorful lights baked. But, that light is not comparable to an Area 51. If you had to get the watts up to flower with it, it would end up costing so much money you're better off investing in a better product that's proven. (Area 51)

Stop bitching and build this.

208 watt light parts list

(4) Cree cxa3070 3000k
(4) Meanwell LPC-60-1400
(4) Alpine Arctic 11
(1) Bud Industries 12x17 inch aluminum box
(4) 1.5 inch L brackets
(16) #6 1/2 inch screws
(8) #6 1/4 inch screws
(1) Cell Phone charger
(1) Power cord

Set the COB's about 16" apart.
