I just ordered 4 of these from Meijiu off of Alibaba. They are suppose to be similar to the hlg 550 just wanting to see if anyone has good experience with these knock off leds

Agree. I suggest mounting your driver away from the heatsink, and then wire your boards to a wago glued to the heatsink and then to the driver. Connectors seems to be a common failure pointI'd imagine it would be fine. Most of the chinese knockoffs run hotter than HLGs, but most don't run dangerously hot. Just make sure you are a little extra careful with those lights in general. Knockoffs are knockoffs for a reason and there is a reason they are cheaper. Just be safe.
Why are u able to mount the driver on the hlg heatsinks? are they thicker?Any air movement on the boards would be great. Id still rec driver away from hestsink though
The components tend to run cooler on the HLG boards because they are higher quality. More efficient, less resistance, that sort of thing.Why are u able to mount the driver on the hlg heatsinks? are they thicker?
