Introducing CobKits.com - specializing in DIY and Citizen COBs
So I was just about to place my order for 8 3500k gen 6 1212's because that was practically all you had left in gen 6 3500 and below for my new flowering light. Then they were removed from my cart and are out of stock.
Now what? I bought 10 new P4 heatsinks with fans that are a little punier than I envisioned but should be adequate for a 1212 @ <=50w. Wouldn't trust anything bigger so I don't think I'm gonna move up to 1818's
Am I going to cry myself to sleep at night if I order gen 5's instead of gen 6's in 2700-3000k?

was moving stuff around splitting gen 5 and gen 6 pages and updating inventory. forgot to update gen6 80cri inventory
i have in gen 6:
(2) 3500k 80 cri - 60 more landing in next few days, so i made them backorderable
(38 ) 3500k 90cri
plenty of both in 1216 - that would be the next step up before 1216

Well crap, I panicked and bought 8 of the gen 5s in 2700 and 3000k. Ah well, I really wanted some diversity anyway as I'm adding 8 1212's to existing 3 x Vero 29 gen 7's in 3500k.

Sorry to hijack this thread...
I have two questions:
- what is this white spot on my COB? COB is working normal.
- is this COB dead (look at - side) or it can be powered up?

dunno whats up with first cob, did you lay your soldering iron on that spot?
2nd cob is shot you broke the pad off and have no conneciton to the array
in this case a $2 holder would have saved you a $10 cob and all the time of soldering as well
M3 machine screws work better than drywall screws in all areas

Thank you for answering!
No, I didn't touch COB. When I was replacing second COB I saw this white strip on first COB.
I guess you talking about ideal holder? So would this COB work again?

Curious about these strips brother. What have you used them for with success? How are they powered etc. No pic on the website. I was wondering if these would be good to start seeds or root clones in medium after cloner? Trying to replicate my last setup next where I had a four bulb two foot T5 setup on the bottom of my nute rack and it worked perfectly .........this gives me more space in veg and gets light source closer to the little guys.
Thanks

thats what i bought them for (the white ones at least). like one strip over each cloner/tray in shelves. at 10W or so they would be great for that and the tiny amount of heat they put off would be perfect for keeping the media warm on the shelf above them.
ill prob put them to use for that just too many projects going on right now

Damn you weren't kidding. The negative isn't making contact anymore I even switched it with another chip holder. I will definitely be making another order this weekend
