These are solidly made, heavy and are a awesome grow light.
It seems to be very well made.
This is 50 watts brighter and with the new lenses spreads the light out just as it shows on the ppfd map.
Every grow light should have an off switch for periods of disuse, in my opinion.
Price
With a coupon for $50 off right now, this light is a good bargain!
Well worth the cost of unit as i save a lot in food costs.
Maybe i'll sell my mh/hps light for $20 to some new grower on a budget.
If the sale continues till the end of next month, i'll be buying four more for a total of five.

Competitiveness
I compared this panel to a spider farmer sf2000 and i’m seeing about three see output at 150w on the spider and 205w on the viparspectra.
But being older led, they are considerably less efficient than the newer lm301h evo.
