is that with international warrantees for parts? Buying in my country of residence parts cost as follows :For $1000 you can make four of these lights (100 Vero's total).
BXRC-40E1000-B-03 $6.70ea (5.87USD) - digikey
HLG-185H-C1400A $163.43 (147.37USD) - local, 5 year warantee
to build the 50 cob setup I'm quoting $661.86 (579.25USD) and thats exclusive of holders, the aluminium extrusion, thermal paste, and fans with psu. I would conservatively add $200 (175USD) to cover those parts, bringing it to about $860 (705USD).
Obviously the non-lighting hardware estimate is high, but I think it is close to accurate. So if you can point me somewhere I can save 200 greenbacks I would be stoked, because after seeing your last weigh-in I had accepted that I'd pay through my nose to get 600w HPS results in a space I'd have trouble keeping cool with 400w's in a tube on a mover (the original plan).
