Yes sir, you are dead right.I’ve ordered from 4 different manufacturers on Alibaba and brought all of them to my buddy who used to be a Fluence rep. He basically told me the same thing you’re stating, heat management. I have a $279 light with lm301b diodes, 650w, it has a higher par reading than my Meijiu and my guy told me it’s basically a pos because of the heat management, I would be lucky if it would last 6 months. That’s why I decided to go with a light that has way more diodes on it at a lower wattage. In short, in my humble opinion I think heat management has alot to do with the lifespan of the lights!
Its the only thing that depreciates them besides environmental hazards. AKA:Bare Diodes. Or false claims about components used, low gauge wiring, & assembly. But primarily build quality control is the Key Factor.
This is a demo model of the light i recommend rn. Is the lightweight version of its Brother the Bar-8.
There are several improvements to the actual manufactured model available for $1.26/watt, delivered to your door rn. 50% dimmed in one pic, 10% dimmed in the other.










Notice the width & depth of the FINNED extrusions/heat-sinks? And these are 1/2 the Beef of the Bar-8 design.
