I'll grow more with one Citizen 1825.........lol! Take the time to learn what specs are important when buying a chip. And if that data isn't available, HIDE your wallet!
Look on you tube. people there have tested these cheap, chinese bottom end chips and find that if one in ten actually lights up more than half the diodes your lucky, and the only way to know, is to check them with a dimming driver. Dim them until you can see the individual chips and you'll be shocked! This is how they con people, who's going to even think to check them like this! If its not a brand name that you can check on, DON'T buy it, that's my advice. Personally, take a look at the Northern Growlights kit builds happening here on AFN. You can't buy a light to equal this kit for three times the price. I'm serious. Worth your time to go look!
