And if we talk about replacing 4x1k hps...we should aim for 3k cxb 3590 to get the same gpw...! No need 4k!
And yes with Vero29 and cpu cooler and cheap drivers we can split price by 2!

The problem still lies in the fact that no one has posted a link to where the OP can just click and order the lighting to get the job done when it comes to led.

No, not at that price. That size space is a big project, but if someone's up for it, it wouldn't take that long.

Eventually we'll see retail products in that price/performance range, but it's still attainable now for those who will put in the work.

You still need an isle in a 10x10 so 6x cxb-8 air cooled would do the trick. Or if on a budget 6x cx-9. 8 cx-6 as well. 8 x PLC cx 300 or 36 a51 w90. Also optic is back as well. 8 of the 400 watt vero would do it as well.

It's more then 7000 bucks to light up a 10x10 room and you know it.
That's not a very scientific statement lol. To light up a 10x10 you first need to decide isle layout. You are going to need one. Secondly it really depends on what efficiency range you are looking in. 2 4x10 rows on either side of the room. So you are lighting up 80 sqft or 7.4 m2. At 800 PPFD which will do what you are looking for that's rounding up 6000 PPF total. So cxb3590 3500k CD @ 1.4 you would need 48 cobs and 12 hlg185h. Heatsinks and all youll be at 5000 or so. To get that equal amount in hps you will need 4 gavitas and you won't get as much yield because of coverage. 2400 watts will effectively beat 4000 watts of de. So yes startup cost for diy will be double. Only double because you need to calculate savings on AC installation costs. In the instance of air cooled you will have less heat with 6 units vs 1 gavita........ That's huge period.

But that yields the same as 4 1k lamps. And you can buy that for a little over 400 bucks then get an a/c and be like 1300 bucks. Why spend 12 grand on lamps alone then another 800 on fans and filters?

Please show me where you get your hortilux bulbs and ballasts and hoods. Damn 100 bucks a setup. You have found theeeeee superstore. I like how everyone stretches these numbers all over the place lol. 4000 watts of hps will cost you no less than 2000 dollars if you buy quality. $12000 worth of cob would destroy 4000 watts of any hps you can find. That's enough to cover that space twice. If op spent that kind of money he'd be driving the cxb359s at 700 ma or 62% efficiency lol. He could put 96 cobs in there with 12 hlgs185h and be at 2300 at the wall and dog Stomp 4 1000 hps in the ground. So stop with the bullshit really. If you hate led no one makes you come to this section. Also I want to see your pics of 5000g under 4000 watts @$400. Please do share.

Look in the leds with links thread. Plenty of options to get this project done. If op looks hard enough he can find options for around 5000.

You want me to start showing my bud pics again? Why? It's the same old bud shots I've posted over the years. Why call me out on shit? Ask around or do some searching. I'm in Miami right now for a family matter, I'll be back Monday evening. We can go pic for pic then if you like. You better have your shit up to par bro, cuz I am coming with potency test result pics too. And yes you'll see yield shots. Please next time don't call me out and put me on the spot like that. Again Monday evening if it's ok with the op to do this in his thread. Flight lands around 9pm so I should be home around 10:30.

I'm not calling you out bro.... I'm just saying that you over exaggerate costs on both sides of the fence. I mean I've never seen a 1000 watt setup for a hundred bucks . Just saying. You know good and well you come in here bashing led. Stay the fuck out if you are going to come in here bullshiting about how you can buy 4 1000 watt setups brand new for 400 bucks and how it's 12000 dollars for cob led. So you regularly hit over 1 gpw with your 1000s? Damn bro if it's true you are the man. Best I ever did bare bulb vert with quality genetics was about .8 gpw and environment was spot on. Reread your post and see how you come off as a dick plain and simple. We are here to help people learn and lying to them isn't very constructive now is it.

Also so you have pics of 5000 grams from 4000 watts and you spent 400 on the lighting and 900 on the Ac? That's what you said so I'm game to see these pics. If it's all true buddy you should move to CO because out there you'd get paid major for that expertise.

No my a/c ran in the neighborhood of 3500. And I'm don't garden for money I help truly sick people. Again when I'm back in California we can go pic for pic. I don't have have my computer with me. I apologize for all that. Something came up on my mother's side of the family. And the weather here is crazy hot and humid. I don't know how people live here.

Also as far as my lighting is concerned listen in to heavy t's grow show the next few weeks. They are doing a test run with my air cooled unit. They mentioned it this last episode and got the wattage wrong but just sit back and enjoy the show.

I've invested more money in cobs then you have so please stop trying to hurt my feelings. But this argumentative info is good for the op to see in his/her thread. So there is no need for you to say get the fuck off this thread. Please let's play nice so the op can make the decision that fits their grow room.

You still don't acknowledge how you come off as a dick and how you came up with your numbers.
You also don't even know where op is so to say AC which around here stands for air conditioning only costs 900 bucks to cool 4 1000s is absurd. I can see you are the type that just jumps around whatever topics you know your full of it on. So please links to 1000 watt HPS setup brand new for 100 bucks please.

Then I have not Invested more money then you. I'm around 10 grand invested. So I guess you'll have a ton of great pics for our pic for pic off. It will be great for the op's decision. All I care about is helping the op out if I can, I don't really care about you claiming your led's are top boss. I already know they are. But the op will be able to make a great decision on his/her grow space based on the pic for pic we do. Because that's why we're here, to help.

What is $6000 to$12000 when your thinking of providing the best for your plants for a 10ft x 10ft op?
I would pay $20000 if I had to.

Bro I can't do pic for pic I'm not in CA. Just letting you know that truths the truth bro. Photons count and the math and figures I posted above are science. Not bullshit just science. Let's just say there is a sun type supplier that wants to be my distributor. I'm not really interested to be honest but I have alot of sphere data at my disposal. Most hid reflectors are 70% efficient. So most 1000 mogul setups get under 1200 PPF to the canopy. There are plenty of bud pics under cobs here. GGs pics also reastyles. Capitan Morgan as well. So there dick making contest isn't necessary. I do have pics of my vert days. Not real smart to start an led company and break the law at the same time lol. Like I said heavy t is trusted he won't lie about it so check out the weekly progress report.

If one has the up front money, then yes of course. But not everyone has the to invest 12 grand or even 7 grand for that matter. Is the only reason why I mentioned hps might be the best way to light that up, but then your boy teed off on me like I'm some sort of ass hole. All am doing is trying to help the thread. If I am wrong, I am totally ok with that. I was just trying to do my part.
