If it's cheap it would be useful I wouldn't pay more than $30 for a chip like thatDoes this make sense as a product here
28mm COB footprint with Cree Discrete diodes, ie Deep Red, Far Red, Green, Blue, Royal Blue, UV etc, 52 Volts up to 100 watts?
well Im building some
Cheers

yes I am not sure how cost effective however I can see some advantages in having non COB colors, but a speciality item rather than mainstreamif its cost effective sure.
i have the feeling at the end of day for a given cost light quantity>light quality and it would be hard to compete with the assembly lines cranking cobs out
for supplemental lighting /spectrum tuning it would seem to be advantageous to use same mounting as cobs
Which way would you guess the trend will go?to be honest the marketability of such a product kind of depends on whether the trend goes toward cobs or boards
boards have momentum right nowWhich way would you guess the trend will go?

I think if you added a diffuser to it your color blending will be much smoother.Does this make sense as a product here

Will you be offering these in your bar lights?Yes, makes total sense. They give tunability and the can get efficacy really up at lower currents. But the price/cost compared to other platforms like COB's is not exactly there. Almost 50% more cost for the same efficacy sometimes. So in the raw efficacy : price race, it's not a great choice. But if spectral signals/specialization is needed, it's very convenient to just drop it into a rig ready for COB's.
We have been making something similar for a little bit and has been working real well and made some spectrum chasing growers very happy. 36 chips 3535, in 36v or 50v configurations. Thermally perform very well, but we use a copper version. Blending is good and cob lens options all work great.
They come out between 1.9-2.0µmols/w depending on Tc ability of the build for ~100w of dissipation(same as a vero b and c for 20-25$). But creep to ~2.5µmols/w in the 40-50w range, and are as good of efficacy as anything pretty much, but cost again.

EDIT:
@welight Have you got your hands on some of the XD16 yet? I haven't. The new XD16 chips could/should make these designs easier and maybe cheaper to get efficiency up.
ive got that same one. like $70 in 2004. just wont die.On a side note. It's nice to see GG rocking the harbour freight drill press
I used mine recently to fabricate aluminum blocks for repairing a firewall in my truck, lol....Love my little guyive got that same one. like $70 in 2004. just wont die.
