having the cobs too close together carries over into the other Johnson lights as well I have a cx-6 & I only have 2 complaints 1 is the cob spacing the other is the made in China sticker I expected a us made light
It is made in the US but the frame is probably produced there for cost effect. Made in America can mean assembled.

back to the ops original question, most hi-intensity white based ~ 600w actual led fixtures will kill a 1000w hps

'Decent price' means different things depending on lots of factors.

As far as commercial lights, I have excellent results with both BML/Fluence and Amare Technologies

The best led grow light is the one you make yourself, mine is a x4 vero 29 ran with a meanwell b series 1400 ma driver with 4 arctic 64+ active heat sinks , putting out somewhere in the ballpark of 800-1000 ppfd at 210 ish watts
Id rather a professional design my lighting rather than follow a how to on some forum...ur house goes up in flames its ur fault my cobs have a 5YR warranty n the cx is 3 ao yeah id rather onw thats passed regulated tests for performance issues for example the vx auto shuts down when it gets 2 hot urs will burn ur house down

Your reasoning(logic) is weak. You talk about the possibility of fire from a self made light, as if doing something yourself was not the best way to determine all possible outcomes.

If you want Ready to Hang rigs ..... Timber

They fab up rigs per order ( takes week ) for individual orders.
You have the Choice of CREE - VERO OR CITIZEN COBS .
You also can get various kelvin spectrums per your choice.
They use meanwell drivers and and frames are custom built.

They are a california based company and have great customer support.
Rigs are reflector mounted ( removable ) and PRETESTED prior to shipping.

They also sell DIY components ( complete ) all you do is build Aluminum bar / rails or frame. COBS are premounted just wire and fire !

Ok , then go buy a light then , I was not aware that soldering and comprehending SIMPLE wiring was so difficult for some people. I am confident in my abilities to solder and wire a light up , You may not be . I'll diy till the day i die, then i get what I want customized to my specs and my space, for less then half the price of what you will pay for the exact same thing . Have a good day
