to be honest, I have no clue if it’s actually a Samsung diode or not. I know it’s a 2835 cause I measured them and then found a part number stamp that confirms 2835 was used. When I called out the supplier they said they accidentally sent me the wrong light. I’ve got a whole thread going with pics. The company is known as SGL (Sun grow lighting) and sundopt is the parent company. I’m also in contact with another user on here who also ordered from them and we are waiting for his lights to show up to see if they pulled the same shit with him. If he actually gets 3030 chips then I’ll believe the suppliers story about sending me the wrong order. I have no way to know if they’re actually Samsung chips or not. The lights are already being used so I can’t really take them apart right now to confirm. I honestly am still happy with the lights despite all that. They put out a ton of light...too much for my clones actually. I tested them with a PPFD app on my phone and the results were pretty damn close to what was advertised. I know those apps aren’t very accurate but I’ve got better things to spend $500 on than a par meter right now.
