Ive never actually bought on the site, only over email. Make sure you get in touch with someone and order thru them, then you have emails and someone to contact in case of anything happening. My general advice: chill, they want to sell you stuff. Kingbrite and meijiu are legit in that they will not take your money and send nothing.

Agreed, I have a feeling that shipping costs are just randomly calculated based on their profits at the moment. This is their way of trying to recoup from the shut down.
also @predd I’m not sure if you have the option available but see if you can use Visa or MC as they offer some extra buyer protection in case something happens with the order.

I paid through Alibaba rather than emailing Kingbrite. Next time I'll try email to see if I can save a little - can't hurt to try. Tried to use a Visa and the payment failed, not sure why - no fraud warning from card company.. Ended up using Amex, which I like using for bigger purchases anyway because I trust their customer service to help me if anything goes awry. About $60 shipping, which seemed fair to me since other listings had higher shipping fees for similar lights (2 board QB). I might try Meijiu because I'm always curious, but I was impressed with my Kingbrite experience.

I don't know when they'll understand it. I own some of both. Crank up either one of them over 90 watts, then you're blind and can't tell the difference. I can't run either of them wide open because the plants don't like it. So why would it matter if one was slightly brighter than the other, if you dim them?

I would go with a 3000k spectrum on a Meijiu kit. The heat sink is 50% bigger.

I dislike the 550 platform period, id send for 4 individual boards and heatsinks, and for a hlg480 from digi or whatever works out as most local to you, or even 2x 240s and then frame or hang and get better spread.
Meijiu, kingbrite and i think bava are ok aswell along with r2thk.

Hello fellow 420ers, looking for advice on LED grow bars.
4 options
King Brite, Meijiu, Hortibloom or Geeklight.
Hortibloom by far the cheapest with $0 delivery but also least amount of years operating through alibaba and not much info around but they look spot on. 5 year warranty and some presence on this forum which looks positive thus far.
Geeklight, great design, awesome spacing of bars and love the APP they have created. Very high PAR readings but also too high to be legit? minimal operation time through alibaba and minimal info surrounding them.
King Brite, probably the most basic design out of all 4 but just the most trusted on any forum when buying from alibaba, most expensive too.
Meijiu, 2nd most trusted on any forum par a couple bad reviews, design is good but again pricey.
I guess I want to know if anyone has pulled the trigger on Hortibloom or Geeklight? Considering cheaper options and better designs through these 2 just want to know I am buying a good product.
I am currently leaning towards hortibloom due to pricing literally saving $200USD in shipping quoted by most of these guys.
I originally was going to go a quantum board but my research has lead me to believe the bars are far superior for optimum coverage.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

R2T is actually the most diverse light I've seen on Alibaba yet.

Ppfd/ watt can’t be great on these lights they only have 150 diodes per strip..meijiu has 240 diodes per strip 63% more than R2T
