You would build your own light for a better price, after youve paid shipping and then import duties aswell. Youd get led strips and driver on Digikey with quick delivery

Easily done you just have to be smart

Mylar bags just being the cheaper option, resealable aswell, people love resealable smell proof bags

Vac seal is grand with me. People can buy their own resealable bag.

Yea I was gonna build another cob rig but seeing the better coverage from the qbs I'm more drawn in that direction. The strips, you use them to build a board or is it completely different?

The strips give you better coverage because you can space them out more. 2 foot strips each running around 30 watts each and then just build your frame with aluminium angle and stick the strips to the aluminium. Pretty straightforward.

Cobs are good for penetration, you just have to keep them at more height, whereas the strips you can get pretty close to canopy level without any issues

Ill have a look at strips and drivers on digikey so. Dya reckon a single 60x60 aluminum plate would do 10 of those 30w strips?

yeah id say they would, only thing with a plate is that if you stick the strips to it youll struggle to use them if you ever wanted to build a bigger fixture. Thats why i like the aluminium angle
