Kassaray ecotech clone

[NannFam]

So I know there is the A8 ii that is a ecotech knock of but has anyone looked into the Kassaray knock off , looks like both versions come with the meanwell power supply wich is a bonus, I have seen them make the the knock of the straton led array but now it looks like they made one for the ecotech version as well. any thoughts on this one over the A8 ii one

I use one of the flat panel Kassray led and have one of the A8s. They appear to be similar in quality and have pretty much the same UI for their app.

does the flat panel Kassray come with a meanwell power supply as well, Love the look of the flat panel ones just a bit more then what I want to spend on upgrading my lights

I have seen the A8 Chinese Radion knock off as well as the Kassray Chinese Straton Pro knock-off. The Radion knockoff had more par output and better spectrum (to my eyes). The Straton knock off light output and spread was disappointing but did come with a Meanwell power supply. I am somewhat confused by the focus on Meanwell power supply. Nice to have sure but these are knockoff lights at the end of the day.

Less of a fire hazard unless they are knock offs as well

Understood but even the legit Radions from Ecotech don’t come with a Meanwell power supply so I am not sure where the idea came from.

That’s because they charge such a premium price but cheap out on certain parts .

Worry not, you can buy a replacement XR30 power supply for $181!

My point exactly

The Kassray flat panel I have does not have the Meanwell driver. I have checked the power supply mid-day and its seems to be about the same temp as others... warm to the touch.

Does anyone have a guide to setting up Kassray light
