You need to look a little harder.

I think Mars, SpiderFarmer, etc are companies by name only, and they're getting some other fuckers in China to make their kits for them, via Alibaba.

Probably ordering something like 500 units at a time. Because if you look around Alibaba's site you'll see supplies hocking their wares there very similar to the shit the said companies are palming off to the public.

The shenzgen lighting company makes fucking every light imaginable!!
They are huge but they are broken up into probably 35 smaller companies like Mars and Spider fire or others for underground mining, Driving, 4WD, the lights in ya fridge and oven pretty much any lighting. Horticulture is lighting is probably a small portion of their business!

I'm not going to pretend I am clueless I was going to buy a spider farmer but then i just saw pictures of a fire hazard.

What i want to know is that what is the safest and best value of the money as I have a budget for the light of 400 dollars max.

Not sure what size is best and what tent it should go in depending on the light i get?
The pre built plug and play lights at grow lights Australia are completely Australian compliant with and Australian spec driver and Plug. Bit pricy but and might be outside your budget for a pre build.

I wouldn’t it’s doesn’t carry much weight. But they did have a discount code for 10% that might be active still Forum or forum10. A 2 min search on riu will find it.

Buy once, cry once. Don't skimp on light quality. Save up longer if you have to. The good ones seem expensive, until you weigh your harvest, and you'll laugh your arse off at the yield returns. My first HLG light has remained turned on for about 1900 consecutive days. Unbreakable. It hasn't taken a sick day off 😜 Still as bright as day of purchase. The scales don't lie.
