Yea I was gonna get the kits. I guess its not really diy just basically some minor wiring. They're $299 on the hlg website but I'm seeing it on Alibaba for around 215. But I think someone said Alibaba sent them knockoffs or something like that. I don't remember exactly what it was.

I would go with hlg for the simple peace of mind and quality assurance. Also failed to mention I have the v2. Not the v1. I was just looking at the v1 you’re talking about for 299 on hlg. I don’t know if you noticed but it also gives you the option of 2x 288 boards or the 2x 304 boards.

Having a look at my email again. Friggin' crosses and the new ones keep making me forget.I'm sure my selection post is buried a few pages back by now.

edit* Just for the f&$k of it.I went back. The damn thread moved 11 pages since I posted my selection on Sunday afternoon. BBC S1's & Katsu Bubba S1's. Burnt to memory...I hope.

Im about to get a couple hlg 260 qb's and try my hand at diy. I saw the price for them on alibaba is a lot cheaper but i remember someone saying alibaba can't be trusted... I figured you were the one who would know. Any thoughts on that?

Theres some suppliers that stamp lm301b stickers on the boards. But they are 100% not lm301bs. As well as lm561c s6 diodes. They're not. But not all of them are. Some are legit. Theres a thread in led section of Alibaba knockoffs. Some are shit. Some are legit. And some are decent knockoffs that still grow very well. And some well you couldn't pay me to run them. If you buy a kit from Alibaba. 100% DO NOT USE THEIR DIMMERS. They are hooked up backwards. They're electrical dimmers. They fry the drivers. Then you gotta wait for them to send a replacement driver if you dont have one. Theres a Facebook group of rita and her lighting setups. Some are nice. Some a trash. Just do your research very good before you buy.
