I wonder if anyone has tried these with COB's

If u dont have a small budget then check out California light works led solar storm 440 its $1k but if you do their grow feedback program you can get like 50% off. You can also look at the specs of the lights.I wonder if anyone has tried these with COB's
What cobs, do you think, match up with that driver profile?I wonder if anyone has tried these with COB's
waste of money sorryIf u dont have a small budget then check out California light works led solar storm 440 its $1k but if you do their grow feedback program you can get like 50% off. You can also look at the specs of the lights.
Here's an American company, (Tampa, FL), that gets most, if not all of it's parts, from Malaysia and Singapore but sooner or later you're gonna bump into Chinese parts:What is more important? Where the L.E.D is actually made or where the driver is made? im asking this question because im looking at a led light and the company says that the LED is made in the usa....but all the other components ( drivers, heat sinks etc...) are made in china!... and assembled in the USA!
You tried it?waste of money sorry
I've seen it on display at Green Coast Hydro and for the price you can make a better light like I did. I know it's better than the Mars light but for the price you are getting old technology with uv bulbs.You tried it?
===============================================================================================Thanks Jimmy, but I think this vero29 stuff is more complicated than I would like it to be. I was wondering about some ready made fixtures or something more easy to assemble. What do you guy think about these two type I found on aliexpress

I looks like they could work, but does anybody know if they do? And if not suggestions please!
Thank you very much for the extended answer, Fluxgro. My intentions with the question were to find out if would be able to find lights from manufacturers that would provide adequate characteristics for a lower price. Anyway, I really want to make the best of my plants so I think I'll probably go with BML. The thing is that they are in my opinion really expensive.===============================================================================================
BMD,
Caveat emptor.
Just one of many LED lighting solutions that purport everything under the sun. In my opinion, Thomas Edison's intention was never for the medium-based socket to outlive the incandescent lamp. Unfortunately, our lighting industry will take a very opportunity to exploit the 'uninformed'. By integrating a revolutionary technology in LED into a technology that is 100+ years old and couldn't be UL Listed if it were invented today because of the inherent dangers is simply a HUGE step in the wrong direction.
I reviewed the link you provided and between the subjectivity of the 'Features', the unsubstantiated claims underlining the 'Specifications', and the abysmal attempt to quantify has left me with an excruciating pain above my eyeball.
For your purposes......."use LEDs I wanna cover it only for vegetation or only for flowering, not both", there are several qualified manufacturers who provide LED luminaires with specific wavelengths designed to elicit different plant response.
I have experience with the following: BML, Ilumitex, LUXdynamics. Others on this forum might be aware of other manufacturers who provide products with similar performance characteristics.
Good luck!

I have been concentrating on watts per plant, watts per square foot, watts for veg, watts for flower. All I've been reading is about watts, watts, watts.... and I though okay I know what kind of lights I want, I know how many watts I need, it's all good. But then I decided to look into DIY COB LED and I started checking out prices for the chips and types and what not. For example http://www.mouser.es/ProductDetail/Seoul-Semiconductor/SDW83F1C-G2-H1-HA/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMu4Prknbu83y9MZozhLMHdQHq2vwdpx/8WQqvZjntVmqA== is one of the products I was reading about. On the page and in the data sheet there are a lot of stuff that I don't understand, (I was looking for the WATTS) the word watt is not in any of the mentioned readings. Now I am very confused about everything with these chips......... Can someone please explain to me simply so I (apparently the idiot who has no idea of electronics) can understand the concept behind these lights. Or point me to somewhere where basics are explained. I read a lot about wiring and a lot of different stuff... I thought I was done and I could start looking for what to buy.... now I really lost faith. Is it really that complicated. Please, help me! I really want to build DIY lighting for myself.
Oh... Okay, makes sense, I get it a bit more now. Thanks, I'll try to find the right "How to... ". I'll keep reading. Hope something lights up in my head.
