I just pulled a trigger on 6 CXB3590 3500K CDs and await delivery now.
I want to thank all of you guys for being here & sharing your knowledge & knowhow! THANK YOU

Special thanks to: @SupraSPL, @Growmau5 and @Greengenes707

If it wasn't for you I'd prolly settle for some mars hydro or hps and end up disappointed, again.
by pure luck i got here and found out about cob lights!

Amazing! I will now have more light then 400W HPS would give, less heat then my current 250W HPS and it's well distributed over canopy. Perfect!

I just wanted to share my enthusiasm with you guys, as none of my friends are aware that I grow..



tl;dr: you guys rock! thanks!

For anyone who just started looking for info on cobs, perhaps you will find it useful to know what it costs:
LED CXB3590 3500K, CD 36V, 80RA; 6x 45.00$ =270$
Ideal holder 50-2303CR; 6x 2.80$ =16.80$
Lens; 6x 5.60$ =33.60$
driver Meanwell HLG-120H-C1400B;
Delivery to Europe =46$
charge by Paypal (4.5%) =19.66$
+two heatsinks (800mm x 150mm x 25mm) from ebay =120$
Total = 599.06$

I have ordered from Jerry from Kingbrite @alibaba.
Each heatsink will be an independent setup, so the only items left to buy is some wire and thermal paste.

I expect light output a bit more then 400W HPS over 1x1m tent.
