Thanks yall
I looked on amazon and their info about the lamp has changed. When I bought mine a yr ago this was the info and it shocked me what they were recommending for height @bitcher but I and @Countryboyjvd1971 tended to run them in flower and after they got large enogh at the 18-24" range.

Yep. I was way too close to the plants. I didnāt realize the height requirements when I bought them. They wonāt work for me only because I donāt have enough room in my grow closet. For sale.
Return them if you complain to GH they will likely take them back. @bitcher of course, your results may vary.
Been lucky have has no issues with 2 of the 300ās - they are a good cheap LED to learn from - looking at the california light works 550

Thanks !!! close to what I do veg at 28-24 and then to 18 inches - flowering now at 12 inches now in late flower - are you suggesting to move to 6 inches ? found a PAR measurement for the galaxyhydro - can give it to you if you want to see it ā could not ever find a so called par chart for those lights Par per distance I do remember that at 12 inches is 762 PAR !!! good PAR range is from 700- 400

I find that during flower, any closer than 24", and my plants start showing light burn issues.

Iād love to see it. Iām not saying lower 6 just saying I had to and there were no Iāll effects. My understanding is the light needs 14 to 16 in to get a good light blend

moved to 15 inches - thanks ! āSirsmokesā yea - 6 inches is way to close for that LED now for CLās that would be a good 2-6 inches from top of plant

2 years on one is pretty good. Theyāre not the best lights on the market, but for blurple lights you could do worse.
Are you using them in an aquarium? Are you wanting to buy the same lights? Similarly priced lights? Better lights?

I was trying to see about just the led panel with the leds so I can just replace the panel . These worked great with my bonsais and pineapples
Contact them and see about getting a replacement pcb.

Did you buy on Amazon? Go leave a bad review and I bet they will find you haha.
Go to Amazon. Find the product. Look for this, a link of the Coās name just above your delivery address
Click the company name, which will take you to this:
Click the yellow button and ask your question.

Haha I thought about that also. I sent them a email via amazon . And did find them in San Francisco CA and tried to get ahold of customer service but the send link didnāt work (emagen that) lol . I know there not the best lights but Iām disabled i canāt work and on a strict budget and at the price I got them was heaven . I didnāt have any issues with them until one led went out then it was like a domino effect I tested the drivers and they work so I changed out the bad individual leds and then they all went out but it was like right at the two year mark for both . I guess I can save until I can get a new one and keep running my 250 my for now .oh well hopefully they contact me .But I bet Iād be better off just buying a new one vs just the pcb panel as it might cost substantially more.

If youāre cable of doing that work, and canāt get a suitable replacement, I may be able to find some components you can use in place. A few of the members here have gutted similar lights and replaced the leds.
