@dopeonarope @Nugachino going to buy some LED gear from cutter either the 4 cob vero setup or one of their Solskin Quantum boards what would you guys go with ?

I'm helping my bro switch to LED and we're looking at 6 of the solskin boards for a 4ft x 8ft grow (just using 2 of the 3 channels - no far red). I'd go boards of some sort or samsung F strips from digikey or somewhere over cobs. I asked for opinions over in the LED thread and that seemed to be the consesnsus

The normal "thats just like, my opinion man" disclaimer goes <---- here.
 
how big a space are you looking at? helps work out bang for buck - 4ft samsung strips seem pretty hard to beat from a value perspective but the sol-skins just look too cool not to try out. Once its all done and built I'll be documenting it a bit

I was leaning towards the QB’s I’d probably go for strips but I’m going to use it in the party cup challenge so as usual for me it’s a last minute sort of thing

Only a 3x3ish area but it will get added on to if I like how it works

Still trying to work out the finer points of our order with mark but we'll get there soon I hope. I'd never mention my name in relation to anything - I'm a total cunt and it may taint your experience :D

Next Question 1,2 or 3 channel version ?

I'd go 2 channel as a minimum because you get twice as many diodes as the one channel offering and it's only an extra 40 or 50 bucks per board. the 3 channel adds far red or blue and would be awesome but it makes them a fair bit more pricey. I want some good evidence that far red makes a big difference and I haven't found much on that to be honest. 3 channel would be better I'm sure but complicates driver requirements and like I say costs a lot more

If I was just in the market for 1 board like you are then I'd trick it out and go all in with 3 channel with the far red.

Cool the 3 channel board it is,not sure about what driver I’ll use have to see what I’ve got in the work shed I know I had a few that should do the job if not I’ll have to grab one from cutter
 
Don't get me wrong. Vero's are good. But, I'd say QB's are probably more efficient. Better thermal displacement too. Rather than one tight cluster of LEDs. There's a wider area to displace that heat.

Also. There's the possibility to tune channels on the QBs. Not so much with the Vero chips.
