This is supposed to have a "meanwell" driver and LM301B diodes, yet cost me only $79.99. Someone on another thread they are probably not REAL LM301B diodes, but marketing BS, being those "style" diodes. Anyways, here are the pictures and my initial thoughts:





Box - made in China. No surprise there!

Close up of the top to see what you sharp-eyed guys might catch. It does look like a meanwell driver, no? I don't see any diode indication.

Accessories it came with. Did you see the freaking shades they threw in there for free? Freaking awesome! Power cable, more hooks that I'll need. And did I mention the shades? Nice when I want to see lights... a little dim lol....

Here is it compared to a spider farmer SF1000D (NOT the SF1000, this one does not have Meanwell driver or the same quality diodes). For all incense and purposes they seem about the same. But the GO-1000 was $10 cheaper than the SF1000. And there is actually an on-off switch on the GO-1000, on the SF1000 I don't see one, have to unplug it and plug it back in every time. Plus, Spider Farmer didn't throw in some free shades!!!

I doubt they are LM301Bs, but still, for $79.99, seems like a hell of a deal. Even better with the shades.

Can you peel off the serial number sticker on the mw driver? See if it matches the one on the actual casing(metal/plastic?). Some use known authenticated stickers over fake, etc.

Then all you need to do is match the SN on mw website to know if it's probably legit.
