Samsung LED Grow lights from Alibaba?

At higher voltages electronics function more efficiently. Say at 12 volts you are getting 85% power conversion, meaning 85% of the power (watts) is used to make light. At 120 volts the efficiency is say something like 95%. When a bulb runs more efficiently, there is less wear on it and it lasts longer.
That's overdriving it?

Haha....I find it assuming to taunt smart asses....so the Alibaba LEDs are 100% fine...just overdrive them and they will perform better than the Samsung's.

Anyone know what a magnatron actually is? Don't worry, no spoilers, this is an open response question....:sleep:

I advise any newbies reading this thread NOT to consider dismantling their spare microwave oven to replace their current lighting setup with a naked magnetron tube in their tent.
this guy knows how to overdrive a led.

and here he explains a magnetron.
