Aeon uses epistar diodes. You overpaid.
There has been much effort here to try to help future LED light users avoid predatory light companies.

I don't support banning books but I do think people would be served by a "banned lights/not recommended" sub-thread. Maybe something stickied that helps new users determine what to avoid. Tricky ground I know to avoid hurting feelings but with education comes humility!

I can personally speak to Hydro Grow LED, Pro Grow (hydroponics hut), and Apache AT200.

DO NOT GET THE Hydro Grow.... they probably fixed the insane amount of blue emitters they use but those panels were nothing but headaches for my plants and I. Stunted growth all day.

Progrow had a good spectrum switch concept- but are shit components. I have completely tore down 2 of their panels and they are nothing but generic Chinese comments...the whole thing. Leds drivers pcbs heatsinks fans....not worth your money especially when you can buy a quality panel with a REAL warranty and parts that are reputable and reliable. Black star uses the same shit just a different colored case and different color leds. No switch. And still junk. High failure rate.

Blackdog has a high failure rate as well but I'd recommend them before either of the above two.

I love my Apache Tech light. The pinnacle of pre-made led lights. Literally.

Only ones I'd feel comfortable recommending off that list is Plant Photonics, Haight solid state, and Apache.

All the others use relatively the same quality components and just rebrand to their name to widen that profit margin.

Good luck

I had a smiley in there somewhere. You know I love yah PSU. Yea now that I'm looking I've only found one model state osram but all the others say 5 and 6w chips (eyeroll) maybe they do and maybe not.

Something that does make me retract my statement is that every model has been discontinued and the warranty is only one year. Wtf?

No worries brother........funny ttalking about them, haight ss where around since the beginning and the growers that bought them eventually "upgraded" to black stars;-).....very soft driven "5w" emitters indeed, no cooling whatsoever

Growers house showed lowest par of any panel tested? Shockingly low if I.m not mistaken again.

Made their money and ran is my guess.....

From what I understand the z4's are 7% more light than the z2's and they jump to more with each new bin appox. 7% (ab,ect.) and I know almost nothing about Veros. There are a lot smarter answers from someone else.o_O

It was probably not asked in the right place. I was puzzling over this when I saw your reply hence the question. Thanks for the reply.

edit: I went through the tangle of threads and found spreadsheets that Supra posted. His data shows that the Z4 has 42.5% efficiency and V29 has 41.5% efficency at the current and temp that I'm interested in (1.05A/50C). This is opposite of what I saw in the Vero and Cree datasheets. Something isn't adding up but I figure its on my end -- another opportunity to learn. I deleted my earlier posting to keep the record straight..

my first light was a mars. i got an actual 500w for a 2x4space. i grew some nice plants. That light failed recently after about 20 months. replacement parts are on the way.

In the meantime i purchased an optic vero 360.

Hanging around here inspires me to try a diy project.

Saw your post on another thread. By the looks of it, your Mars may not make it back into the starting lineup. Maybe bump it down to reliever status?
