Meanwhile, back at Mau5 Labs (aka my mom's basement) I am working on many, many innovative and accessible ways to implement these kits. cheers to all the peeps that are supporting this platform and helping these kits sell out.

Nice. What is the star-shaped thing you're working on? Looks very interesting. Also LOL at the mom's basement bit....

Are you going to get in the bigger drivers with the new orders?

The kit can work with the 250 watt driver we are combining with it. What would you like from a bigger driver?

Mau5 is a mad scientist at work. Wish my dinning room table looked like that.

Mark and Mau5 looks like this is the driver for the kit right?

Can't wait to start piecing her together

No we are supplying the kit with the 250 watt version

I may have missed something, but is there any reason the kit is so expensive?

LED technology is new and evolving as we speak, this is a 200w light for 600 dollars. I want to build one for a 5x5' area badly! and will eventually but the damn cobs are expensive, and the heatsinks are to, i think? Last time I priced some 3070's, heatsinks, drivers, and etc came up to about $1000 dollars. That was how much I figure i need to best or get to my 1000w hps yields. But yeah they are expensive. To lazy to price each individual part and compare to see the mark up but six hundred dollars for two hundred watts is just to much IMO. I believe in 5-10 years we will be able to get these LED's at a much cheaper price. But they rock! Love seeing what guys here on RIU are doing. And I'd be lying if i said I wish I had the capital to start a light company selling LED's. Just got my Electronic Engineering degree so I'm up for the challenge, and incorporating arduinos in my grow room is in the works now. These things are awesome. They are so much cheaper than controllers and have more capabilities and are much more flexible. The code writing is the hardest part for me, but i get by and luckily there is alot of code already written out there and i copy and past real good.

not $600, under $450 USD

this video goes thru the pricing of components (1:30 in) from alternative suppliers. You pay a slight premium for this kit due to the labor involved in drilling and tapping all the holes so its read for mounting when it hits your doorstep.

Thanks for the great comment, I look forward to seeing your arduino works!

Do you guys have the supplies on hand if we just drill the heat sinks ourselves ?
I Like the whole kit being together so i know what driver and cob and heat sink and don't have to try an understand the numbers.



p.s Whats the difference between the 4 cob and the 8 cob kit do the prices include shipping.
Im asking because there is a $50 increase for buying the 8 cob kit where as buying two - 4 cob kits would save money ? Im lost.


P.S.S!! Is it possible to get the kits with a 700 mA driver or will it ever be possible in the future?
