I never purchased any lamps from your company, I sent off an e-mail to the company with a new phosphor blend that I was giving out for free because I wanted to see induction lighting gain a better edge versus fluorescents.

I have to say, however, that the lights still lack overall in photon flux emissions. If only you could make those tubes of a smaller diameter, and perhaps increase the tube pressure or harvest the mercury emission lines better. Maybe redo the entire tube and use aluminosilicate instead of borosilicate glass?

Wow i must say i am impressed with how much you know about lighting systems i need someone like you to work with me xD. Anyways im taking notes of the suggestions ure making but i must ask the engineers on this matter as i am a noob in technicalities and thats why i came to this forum, to learn and expand my knowledge so that i can use it to improve our services but i must say that the feedbacks from experienced growers until now, has been quite pleassing and no complains have been made on our new version, however there´s always space for improvement and reaching the full potential of this technology is my ultimate aim.

Well i did some research of my own on the glass materials "Aluminosilicate glass has aluminum oxide in its composition. It is similar to borosilicate glass but it has greater chemical durability and can withstand higher operating temperatures. Compared to borosilicate, aluminosilicates are more difficult to fabricate. When coated with an electrically conductive film, aluminosilicate glass is used as resistors for electronic circuitry" Why and how that is worse than the borosilicate glass and its effects on the photon flux emissions? xD i need some insight on this.

I tried to PM you but i couldnt as i am quite new to this forum..i also added you on msn to further discuss your suggestions as i am working with a manufacturer of induction lights and LED lilghts and we can customized the lamps to the smallest detail so before i suggest to do some changes to the R+D dep i need some proof that this is what the customers are needing and what is best for the product itself as not only photon flux emissions count but durability of the materials are needed to be accounted too as one of the key advantages of induction lighting is the long lifespan they have.
Concerning the new housing fixtures we basically replaced the IP67 housing lighting fixture because we thought who will need a waterproof housing if it's mainly going to be used indoor..for outdoor purposes we have induction spotlights,street lights, etc and plus due to the glass housing fixture the kelvin temperatures rise by 25% in the long run and this has been one of our client's concerns so that's why we planning to changing it and i believe this would have an impact on the PAR values but i am not sure as i need someone to come up with a journal so i can get those values as i cant do the experiments myself in China due to the high risks involved..but hopefully once i am back in Spain or the UK i will try them out in my own growop and post them here xD.

Dude ur knowledge on material and lighting systems is limitless if by any chance ur jobless (which i doubt it) come to China there´s a high demand for ppl like u and a good business opportunity if u decide to work with us xD. Anyways, i added u on msn i we will be in contact and thanks to the forum for giving me this opportunity.

Also i am meeting next month with the R+D department and i will suggest all these points u mentioned. They should be really usefull specially in the development of the 500W and 600W induction that they are working at atm. So we will talk via msn and obviously your advices wont be rewardless xD. No more talking through forums as i already found my purpose here; you!

Peace

Hey man i tried to contact you without any success...the ecogroled account it has to have a domain ending either hotmail.com or something cause i cant seem to find u xd. Anyways i am meeting the technicians at the factory next week and i will comment them your advices and give u some feedback on it. Please contact me somehow i will greatly appreciated.

I will be one more week in Shanghai before going back to Spain were we are planning to open up a distribution network over there to supply Europe. Anyways i hope i hear from you soon!

So whats the verdict on these? Have they been updated and where to buy?

I see that Mland is still "selling" lamps. Now under a new affiliation. Don´t trust donglai for one second about getting light-fixtures for reduced prices. They sure have sold some working lamps to build trust but the vast majority of deals are scams.

These guys at Mland are crooks. I ordered and paid for a lamp at Mland and received a box of junk (no lamp at all). Mland company stressed the fact that FedEx had mixed up the parcels so I reported it as a delivery failure.

To my big surprise FedEx took responsibility for the faulty goods(!) and agreed to pay out for worth of lamp and cost of shipping, though not to me but to Mland.

The contact between me and Benjason Zhang at Mland was consistent with swift replies until FedEx reimbursed them. I I haven't heard a word from them since.

Mland told me that FedEx will reimburse me, not them, which was untrue as FedEx gave me the name of the guy at Mland who had signed for the repayment.

I do not know how they manage to confuse FedEx, this is not just a case of frauding the customer (me) but also the freight company. In retrospect all this seems well planned.

As someone pointed out, if they ship, they ship badly boxed goods that turn up broken and in that case gets returned to them and my guess is that it won't be fixed or replaced/reimbursed.


Do not go into business with Mland or anyone claiming to have anything to do with them.

Even if you or your friend get a working lamp delivered to you (highly unlikely), they will try to pull a scam when the stakes are higher et.c.

Conclusion: Not an honest company.

It's 2012 and MH/HPS is still the way to go. LEDs have not shown me anything yet, either.

Yeah I have to agree. I have 2x 150w LEDs (commercial). They run just fine for vegging and at considerably lower costs/heat. However, the initial investment in LED hardware makes this an unattractive option, both for the hobby (me) and commercial grower. Sure the light may pay for itself over a few years time but most growers do not operate with this kind of amortization timeline... I do love the LEDs for my 2'x5'x3.5' cab. Temps are right and the gals love them. They veg great although they don't clone for sh1t. I use a CFL for that. But for flower? No. HPS way outperforms them. Now if you build your own using high end hardware, that's a different story.

Are these induction lights 400W or above?
