In the wholesale market of LED plant lights, especially in the field of Quantum Board grow lights, the price war is getting more and more intense. Some suppliers use “low price” as a gimmick to attract customers, but behind the low price often hides the quality trap of low price: serious light decay, short life, false light efficiency, lack of after-sales service ...... As a supplier of TUBU China LED Grow Light, we have served more than 3000+ grow bases worldwide. Today, we will take you to unveil the “quality shady secrets” of the low-priced Quantum Board, and provide you with a guide to avoid the pit to help you realize the wholesale purchasing goal of “low-cost, high-yield”.
Common Quality Problems of Low-Priced Quantum Board
Serious light decay: brightness cut after 3 months
Low-priced products often use low-quality LED chips or heat dissipation design defects, resulting in light decay rate is 2-3 times the industry standard. For example, a customer purchased a low-priced quantum board, the PPFD value dropped 50% after 3 months, the crop growth cycle was extended, and the final cost went up instead of down.
Lifetime false labeling: the actual life of less than 20,000 hours
Some manufacturers labeled “50,000 hours of life”, but the actual use of capacitor aging, drive power failure and other issues, the life of less than 20,000 hours.
Light efficiency false labeling: parameters and the actual effect is far from
Some manufacturers exaggerate the light efficiency (such as labeling 2.7 μmol / J, the actual measurement of only 2.1 μmol / J), resulting in slow growth of crops.
Lack of after-sales service: “no one cares” after purchasing
Low-priced products often lack after-sales service, and vendors shirk their responsibilities after problems arise. TUBU provides global warranty service, and customers can contact the technical support team at any time, and respond to the solution within 72 hours.
How to Avoid the Quality Trap of Low Price Quantum Board? How to Choose a Reliable Quantum Board?
Look at the core components (LED chip, driver power supply)
Prioritize first-tier brand LEDs such as Samsung, Seoul Semiconductor, OSRAM, etc.
Driver power supply recommends Mean Well/Inventronics to ensure stability and long life.
Request real test data (PPFD, PAR, energy consumption)
Let suppliers provide third-party lab test reports to verify light uniformity and light efficiency.
Check the thermal structure and warranty policy
High quality Quantum Board should have a thick aluminum substrate + reasonable thermal design and provide at least 3 years warranty.
Choose OEM/ODM supplier with flexible customization
Professional manufacturers (such as TUBU) can provide spectrum customization, power adjustment, brand LOGO and other services to meet different growing needs.
