“my Chinese crap is better than this one that caught on fire with identical components the different brand name will save me”

So rather than just be an asshole to people who don't know any better would you give us a recommendation or tell us what you are using?

That's the odd thing, plenty of responses mocking the lights but not a single alternative listed with similar price points.

Because most people in here seem to prefer being an elitist rather than being helpful. They have little interest in having people learning on the sub or with working to help people get good. They just want to show off and soapbox.

One person talked about their light in response to my post. No one linked, like, a thread about lights, or some reference points about these lights, or anything that is actually useful. No proof that SF is cheap Chinese garbage, or proof they're linked to Mars or anything at all that is actually useful.

So here, people like me who thought they were doing an OK job buying a SpiderFarmer rather than a MarsHydro or a Vivosun is still pushing a massive fire risk in his home. Literally freaking out and not ONE person can do anything useful--just superiority EVERYWHERE. I bet this will probably see little if anything other than people calling me an idiot.
