I got this light in today. It pulls a true 200w at the wall. No dimmer. Very bright. I don't understand why they built it into the enclosure. That doesn't add anything to the performance. It just adds weight, and maybe it looks aesthetically pleasing for whoever made the decision to do that. I do still prefer the SUNRAISE qb2000 over this for a 200w light because of the more even distribution of light over a more square shaped footprint, dimmer knob, and form factor. BUT this one is totally worth it at the discounted price of $78.

Enjoying the sunraise QB2000 lights at the moment. I do wish I grabbed this light and the 400 watt light from a couple of weeks ago though.

The cost of my two Sunraise lights were around $160 IIRC, like you said it does have a pretty good footprint, but I do wonder how they would stacked up against the $80 400 watt SZHLUX light.

The 400w SZHLUX def makes significantly more light intensity compared to the SURAISE qb2000, but the build quality of the SUNRAISE is far superior. I tried to order another of the SZHLUX 400w, and it said the code is no longer valid. I'd grab another one for $80 for sure though.

Yeah I tried it not too long ago myself. Oh well, something else is bound to come that'll match or beat it.

I paid like 109 for my sun raise and it’s pretty tight. The 3030 smd is like 25% less efficient than the 301s, but the spread is nice and the assembly is quality. I have it in a 2 x 2.5 tent I’m gonna do some breeding in. Four of these would cover a 5x5 pretty well.

301's are 3030's. Sunraise are 2835's. I personally use 5050's for flower.

I do live in the states, and I can appreciate your pain up there for prices too. I never suggested a Mars light, I said Spider Farmer. I only mentioned my personal setup, so you wouldn't think I was a Spider farmer shill.

I really don't care what light anyone buys, but I do see a lot of people being fooled by these boards thinking that they are on par with other lights, which are often only a bit more expensive. I mean, we could really get into the weeds on this and compare all the different cost factors, such as light output for fixture price, and also electricity cost over time for output. There's a lot of things to consider really. My only point was to alert people that there is more to consider than up front costs, when it comes to value.
Ya, I thought you were an HLG shill, lol.

You're the one who influenced me to buy 6 HLG QB96's.

I like my 200 watt szhlux, so do my plants. Lol. I should've gotten the 400 though.

For that price, I would've made my own frame for it.
