You've lost me, you say you went with the amazon light because its 100w more but its 330w and the ebay light is 480w.

The amazon light (top) is not enough for a 4x4 like it claims
The ebay light (bottom) is enough for a 4x4.

What is up with all these companies building strips like that when one of those strips only equal a single 288 board, and that (1) strip is now trying to cover an area that really 3 x 288 boards are needed to cover! Anyway that 480W is a KingBrite, I actually tried one and I had the hardest time arranging them, (moving them closer or more apart), so that they could evenly cover a space as good as using 2 X 240(s). But as a side note... 2 X 320 running at 220 watts each, in a 4 x 4 spaced at 10 inches, kill that 480 at full power in a side by side grow I tried! Oh' yeah... and I would rather have the epistar reds on my boards over the cree reds, because my plants stretch much less under the epistar reds! Okay, that's my last edit....

Sorry let me clarify,im talking about buying 2 of the amazon lights because they are $199 each they are around 330 watts each so 660 vs 480 it has uv and ir plus a 60 watt red lights flower booster switch and there's different switches for every 100 watts,I have a 200 watt version and it's way brighter then my 315 watt cmh and it was $100,and that extra uv deff adds much more crystal production,and it is 24 inches by 12 inches And the one ebay light is $400 and 480 watts I like the fact the you can change the spread and it has a dimmer but it has been used for one grow already

Its difficult. One light I know what its made of and know what it can do and the other (with two) is higher powered but that doesn't mean it produces more light , they don't give much info of any use and they exaggerate the coverage considerably by saying one light in a 4x4 when at best it would be 3x3 and probably less if they are shit diodes , if they were good diodes then they would be boasting about what they were using.

To me they are a light I would avoid, soon as they exaggerate the capability.

Take a look at the offerings from this seller, they also sell on Alibaba if your so inclined. I picked up a all white led 3000k 480w for $361 from them and have no complaints. If you want to spend more, they also have options with added reds etc. Shipping was super fast as well.

That's not true. Many people receive their items within a few weeks. Many LED lights, like most other products, are all made in China. People elsewhere just buy them in bulk, have them rebranded and mark up the price 200-300%.

Very true. I ordered 2 lights from Alibaba on Tuesday and they shipped today. They will arrive within 5 days so a week from order to arrival is damn good.

Preach that gospel. I got mine in 4 days from china. 7 days from date of order placement. Ordered a spider farmer from amazon on the same day with prime delivery. Amazon took 3 days longer to arrive than alibaba. Love that chinamen service. Piss on Amazon.
