Spider Farmer SF Dimmable Quantum LED Grow Light Review 2020
Quantum boards are all the rage.
It started with HLG, but now several budget brands have started offering quantum boards with Samsung chips and Meanwell drivers.
One of the best is Spider Farmer and their SF line of lights.
They basically give you what HLG gives you, but at a fraction of the cost.
Of course, they are a Chinese brand (HLG are an American brand, but their lights are also made in China), so there is always a drawback.
But what, exactly, do you sacrifice when you go with Spider Farmer quantum board LED grow lights over HLG or other more expensive brands.
Are the cost savings worth it?

Spider Farmer SF4000 Review
The SF-4000 is the largest size and covers a 4x4 ft area. You can fit 3–4 cannabis plants in a 4x4 foot space depending on size of the plants.
These grow lights are more energy efficient than traditional LED grow lights. That’s partially due to the fact they don’t use cooling fans. Another reason is the LEDs they used in these designs are newer versions of diodes compared to grow lights that were designed years earlier but are still for sale today.
Spider Farmer’s 2.7 micromoles per Joule is at the very high end of efficiency compared to most other grow lights that typically fall between 1.5 and 2.4 uMol/Joule.
Harness the power of intense LED light using highly-efficient Samsung LM301B LEDs, some of the best LEDs on the market. The huge Spider Farmer SF-4000 LED grow light contains 1,212 evenly-spaced LEDs powered by a dimmable Meanwell driver. Sunlight spectrum (Blue, White, Red & IR). The aluminum board fixture stays cool without the need for fans which helps for power savings. Rubber coating reduces the risk of water damage. Suitable for the entire growing process from veg to flower. A high-quality, plug-and-play LED grow light for weed at an affordable price.
