There is a difference in pompous and matter of fact. There is a lot lost in forum discussions versus actually being able to speak to all of you, and many read with different emotion and inflection instead of simply taking the words as they are. I'm not attacking Mike, but instead asking him to clarify claims and provide proof, if necessary.
The first question you quoted is one that if he cannot prove, there will be significant repercussions on fixture lifespan if his quoted power figure is correct, and the fixture would need to be redesigned with an actual heatsink. It is also a bit dishonest to tell people that they're getting a '363w' fixture that won't even pull but 250-270w from the wall (depending on fan wattage, actual LED current, and driver AC/DC conversion inefficiencies). I understand that that is how basically all Chinese panels are sold as, but that doesn't make them correct, or that one is better than another because it pulls more power. My last custom array pulled around 275 watts from the wall yet was capable of over double the amount of radiometric light from a standard '300w' class Chinese panel.
On a somewhat similar note, Mike, do you know the composition of the primary lenses of the LEDs in the fixture?
They did, indeed. They had significant positive feedback on the change, as well, and have stuck with it ever since.
Oh snap, now everyone knows about my million billion dollar deal with Reefbreeders to internet harass every other Chinese LED panel reseller! I've been exposed!
Yep, I just live for giving every reseller a thrashing without any regard to what I'm asking or saying. I guess I should just keep my mouth shut and take what every manufacturer says as the truth without asking for details or proof.
