Hate to break it to you, that is where HLG originally got their QB boards manufactured, by Bava or Hansion.
Sure... I think you misread. I was saying that a new production run of QBs wouldn't be a good idea now. It was a good idea when I did it in June 2017. But now everyone in Shenzhen has caught on, and is sitting on stock of HLG clones, ready to sell. I would rather put my effort into designing something that you can't get from China (yet).
Everyone is cloning everyone, if you can get a product at a fraction of the price and its genuine products then go for it. Unless you are an photonics engineer, by the time you've come out with something china has already done it 10 fold over. Personally the lights themselves are very easy to construct (I've done a few builds myself), I am busy building a new project which is entirely automated (light wise), but at a fraction of the cost in terms of components, using custom coded firmware (by me). Fabrication and design is where is at, the actually light source is so saturated with options now, If i was going back to the drawing board i'd design a unit which is easily expandable similar to the fluence rails.
