How to Distinguish Real Samsung LED Grow Light ?

The 3030 series is divided into three main models, 301H, 301B and 301D units. Each subsequent model is more efficient than the previous one. The efficiency rating of 301D is 2.75, while that of 301B is 2.92. 301H leads the group at 3.1. According to Samsung's market survey, 301H's main customer market is the United States. In terms of performance, the 3030 series has shown itself to be able to produce consistent lighting levels over a longer period of time, with a small drop in brightness over time. 

The 2835 series is the cheapest of all the series, while still offering efficiency second only to the 301D. It operates at three different power levels, 0.1 watt, 0.2 and 0.5. The 2835 series can replace the old 3528 model, with higher brightness and lower heat, which is ideal for use in fluorescent lighting configurations as well as bulb and panel lighting configurations. Unlike the square of the 3030 series, it also has a rectangular shape, which could prove to be a more efficient way to light up the growing space according to the layout of the plants. 

The diode mode is the first consideration. Samsung has a range of mature lights on the market.  Whenever you see a catalog, website or other supplier offering a product that doesn't match Samsung's existing product line, it's not the real thing. The development of Samsung's production lines takes fully into account the needs of the factory's production and operation. Each item is carefully planned, designed, developed and tested to ensure high quality and performance and to confirm that there is a demand for the item in the market. 

Diode Series

Again, Samsung has only two main LEDs series, the 3030 and the 2835. Under the 3030 series are the 301H, 301B, and 301D LED units. Any other number is not genuine. It is also important to ensure that the product size matches the product number. Counterfeiters may realize that they are not the same size as the real thing, so even if the size is not 3.0mm x 3.0mm, they may still be sold under the 3030 series name. The counterfeiters assume that buyers are unaware of how the series is named, and may make this simple error, which prompts well-informed buyers. 

Diode Quantity

You need to pay attention to what LEDs and the quantity of LED diodes are used When you buy a new LED grow light. Price varies from different types of diodes. Samsung LM301H diode is the most expensive, and the 2835 series are cheaper than the 3030 series. More LEDs used, higher produce cost, so as more expensive lights.

For example, a 150W light uses only 200 diodes and costs $130; Another 100W one uses 250 beads costing $150; Clearly, the latter is the better option. Using more beads and less power can make LED plant lights more energy efficient, brighter and last longer. The higher light power, the better; You also need to pay attention to the number of beads. Using fewer beads and higher power will significantly shorten the life of the diode. 

LED Lifespan

LED lights has extended lifespan a lot since their launch on the market. All types of LEDs last much longer than incandescent and fluorescent lights, but it is important to understand that just because an LED still works doesn’t mean it is still performing. A real Samsung LED will maintain the same light intensity and quality longer than other brands. This measure of consistency is called luminous decay. The lower luminous decay, the closer the light quality at the end of the device's life is to the quality when it was new.

 And keep the saying in mind, you get what you pay for. If the price is low enough to arouse your suspicions, trust your instincts.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency simply means using less energy to perform the same task.The lighter the diodes produced for the same amount of power, the more efficient they are. Because counterfeit goods are not developed with the same rigorous efficiency focus, their energy consumption is a strong indicator that they are not genuine.

Unit Cost

The cost of a grow light is not only just what you pay for it but also in the unit’s energy consumption, lifespan, and quality of light. When the cut-rate counterfeit lights begin to cost you money in these areas, you will quickly lose every dollar you saved up. The initial outlay for an authentic Samsung grow light is well worth it because it gives you the reassurance of what your energy costs, production, and replacement expenses will be as time moves on. Avoiding unneeded expenses is only possible when you use real Samsung units.

We LIGHTON are also using Samsung 301B for each series. Details as below.
