Hello anyone using this brand ? It is manufactured in Spain and have nice branding but lights look cheaply build just aluminium with Leds and Driver on it
I am mostly interested in https://www.growthejungle.com/en/the-jackson-nemesis-en/ and Mantis UV enchancer can someone check it if they are legit ? i think spectrum not have enough 660red but i do not know if it would be a big deal

I concur with your initial hesitations, lots of marketing bs. Who would spend extra on a BOM for textured and aluminum etching on boards? Instead putting it towards better build quality/parts ..... Dumb

Look at diyled.uk for quality fixtures and diy kits in Europe. I'm leaving out some other options that I can't think of right now.

its usually boards heatsinks and drivers with leds dont really see how its cheaply built compared to any other led and to be fair all these boards and drivers are from china so you can buy them cheaper on aliexpress.

I know @Moflow has the mantis, he might be able to talk more about it.
If your set on buying from spain it might be a good idea to check out todogrowled aswell, they have a decent line and also some hlg stuff.

Alibaba for the win!
I don't have much experience with the company or their lights per se.
I just happened to spot a real bargain in a local grow shop where I suspect they mis priced the Mantis uv light.
They had it priced at £50 - €60. I double checked the price on the internet and everywhere else it was selling for over £200 - €240. So obviously I snapped one up! Lol I wish I'd a bought two now. It covers about 1m2
I was embarrassed by their packaging, it was so discreet.... lol.

I'm not sure to be honest. I've only used it for one run so far and it's still drying.
I got it as a spectrum filler to enhance the white light spectrum I use.
It definitely does not keep pests at bay, I've a thriving community of thrip at the moment.
Ì would not pay £200 for one tho. Better to buy more white boards with that money imo
