This is what's given LED a bad name for many years.
Haha yeah. My dealer put me onto a boy who recommended them. Should be able to get one though. Been emailing the boy there so all looks good. Think I would have preferred a cob kit but sold out.
If you wanted pre assembled or plug and play options from UK
EDIT, sorry I missed your post above where you have checked them out.
No where in the Spider Farmer name or description is it listed as 1000w. People may assume the w there but it's not the case, but I can totally see why due to all the other Chinese light manufacturers and their claims.
Maybe its just an ebay thing..
They come with a choice of driver, either XLG or HLG both meanwell. When it says the XLG has an external dimmer and the HLG has an internal dimmer, that just means that the dimmer is attached to the driver via a wire for external and the dimmer is physically on the driver for internal.

I went from cheap burple ......... waste of money ($25) to
I am glad I have settled on an option now. I am in a cooler climate than most so may help. My wee tube heater has hardly ever hit the 77F temp i set on my temp controller even while heating is on. I am not sure what you mean. Never really seen much products described with lumens, more umol.
Oh well that doesn't really help lol. I guess you get different versions of each I suppose. All I know at this point is I want it assembled for me but not sure what the better option would be.
I'm too cheap to buy a light meter that reads umol ........ my smart phone can read Lux.
Oh, didn't know you were taking readings, my bad. I was talking about manufacturers specs mostly and the units given in reviews.
I'm able to have my extractor running and still stay in the 70's, that will be why I hardly hit 77. I'm trying to maintain a minimum negative pressure with a fan speed control to have constant air being sucked in. Only issue is humidity, but I noticed having turned my extractor off at night to try and get some sleep the humidity has risen and then it gradually decreases during the day. Not so sure i like it when it gets down to the 40%'s but seeing if I can help with light mistings every now and then.
With buying a new light even 20 quid is a bit steep. Will be added for next grow as in a month or a little over if things go well i will be flowering maybe and that when i will be paid again after next. Put in my wishlist so I don't forget.
The XLG is an AB driver, and so is yours Sarah. They should have both dimming functions. I love the external dimmer that the B type provides. Makes it super easy to adjust, and you have a wider range of wattage. I was stoked when my new HLG light kit came with the XLG and potentiometer.
Yeah the internal dimmer is a rubber cap with a tiny screw which you can adjust and the external is a potentiometer something like what SarahJane showed.
