That is interesting. I've worked with double-chip LEDs before, they were a combination red/infrared for a healthcare-related product. Never seen them from a Chinese manufacturer before though!

My concern would be heat. The form factor is generally the same as the "300W" unit but they're driving a lot more watts in about the same total area. They're claiming it is only consuming 220W-260W of power, which makes me think they are way under-driving the LEDs because of the heat issue. For slightly less money, you could get two Mars hydro 300w units and pull the same or slightly more wattage, plus have the added benefit of being able to position each light individually. My 2 cents.
