Admittedly I know next to nothing about QB. But Monday I ordered an HLG 550 V2 and it arrived yesterday. Just wanted to let anyone considering this light know that you can get it through the month of October (while supplies last) for 25% off. The sale price was what had me choose this light over going the route of another COB panel.
First impression was to be impressed with how thin the profile is. Yet not so wild about how exposed everything is compared to the sealed build of my PLC panel. And yes, I am impressed with the amount of light it throws - blindingly bright!
Extremely pleased with the service/communications through LED Grow Lights Depot. I placed my order the first day of the sale in the early morning hours. 20% off is automatically applied at checkout. Placing the order put me on their mailing list. Later in the day I received an email announcing the sale and also saying you could enter a code at checkout and take an extra 5% off. I made contact and asked if too late to apply to my order... "nope, no problem, let me take care of that for you"... excellent service all around.
Cannot wait to see if the claims of matching a SE 1000w HPS are true!

Damn that's awesome about the sale and the excellent service! I'd believe their claims, the lights are really good.
I had my reservations about the exposed nature of the 550 build, but I heard they got a new waterproof 550 v2 coming soon, hence the sale most likely.

120W one, pretty cheap with Sink & Driver around 100€
( Don't worry, it hangs lower then on the picture )
So i thought about putting 4 of these 120W ones into 1m² space each, any thoughts? over or underpowered on 1m²?
rewriting this as i misread what you wrote.
do you plan to use them to veg and flower? for veg you would probably be just fine with 1 of those in a 1m² area, but for flower that's only 13w/sq ft. i would suggest 2 of them for that space for flower.
you was roght with what you said!
1 of those for veg ( 80x80cm ) and 4 of em for bloom ( 1m² )
...but keep hearing after 2-3 years there’s a 50% degregation in light? Is this true?...I’m nit sure if this is factual or not??
