Yeah, the crazy thing is, even though we're both in Australia, they're shipping costs are about the same as HLG. And of course Digikey and Arrow etc have free shipping with the Samsung strips.
Apart from that, I did look at the Solskins and the QB324 boards appear to eat them for the same price (or less). That's why I kept asking questions about the QB324s, because if they're really 6.6v chips - and no reason to doubt it - they represent very good value.
Cost aside, the only advantage I can see with the Solskins is they run 54v - meaning you can opt for a CV or CC driver - and they offer a 2K Kelvin option.
If you wanted to light up a couple of 3x3s, what would you do? I'm leaning towards a LED board this time instead of a strip build because the guy I'm building it for wants to grow one 1+lb plant per 3'x3' and the boards will likely offer better penetration and a bit more light in the middle, where the plant is. If I can get the guy to scrog properly, then the strips might still make sense.
