Kinda hard saying they are knock offs , because they are incredibly nice lights. I copied the light spectrums from Orphek that’s about it.


orpheks have 5watt LEDs run at lower intensity for prolonged use. (Although I’ve heard some burning out after 1 or 2 years.

Ali express bars run 3watt LEDs at full intensity and I haven’t heard anything negative about them. Construction wise the orpheks look beefier but I like the Ali bar size and weight myself.

Getting amazing performance and saving money is a win win in my book. So if I was gonna do it again Ali bars would be my choice.

I do like the Orphek osix controller that connects multi bars into one power source but it’s expensive.

I didn’t mean to convey they are cheap. I’m sorry for that confusion. Are you able to dim them? I’m a huge Mr. Krabs when it comes to money so I get it.

No worries, I just couldn’t say knock off cause they are that good in all aspects price and quality.

I’ve seen some with dimmer options. I’m not sure if you would need to get it custom ordered or buy a dimmer.


only reason I sold the kessils and Ali bars is because 33 outlets on kasa strips was brain damage hahahahahah.

With my new Meridians I’m using two outlets, if I add a third unit and two bars I’m still under 6 outlets.

I’d understand, popping breakers and fire hazard. Good luck with your new lights, cheers

Great seller. Lights came in and are installed. Worked out great for what I was doing. Highly Recommended and if he has more in a few weeks, might grab one more from him. lol Thanks I bought 2 of his blue/uv mod lights and they are exactly as promised.
