Wao was wao super excellent info thank you very much for taking the time to answer, I am using an open space with 12 1k Hps and I am thinking about to replace all of them with this better efficient lights. Thank you one more time.Quantum Silence here in the thread
Such a tough question
I will give it a try...
Both Vero and Boards make awesome light engines.
- Quantum Board is Mid Power LED Board and Vero 29 is a COB
- Single Boards are $75 + $15-$20 for heatsink so $90-$95
- Single Vero C is $35+ Heatsink cost $15-$25 , cost adds up if you use more cobs
- Boards are more efficient .
- Boards are easier to install and DIY. Thermal management is easier as heat is spread on 50 times larger area.
- No TIM is needed with boards. TIM is needed with COB
- Boards can come closer to canopy and have no issue. Ideal for low height tents.
- Boards provide better penetration by spreading the light evenly all over canopy
- Easier to install a reflector on COB. lens can be installed on board but it take more time.
- Boards have push wire connector. easy to use
- Vero you have to solder. You can use pizomate connector but you cannot exceed 130V in series, which means on 4 cob series you can only use the Vero D
You cant go wrong with either. please try both and let us know what you like.
Mid Power Efficiency

Here is how much power you need with Vero to generate same output.

So boards win on efficiency with B and D. Vero C is close.
