For 150 more I would get another cob, passive heatsinks(so no extra fan wire/plug), a dimmer, and the cool framework to spread out the cobs. Im leaning towards timbergrowlights, for that price I could barely build the cob arrays without the frame.

Heard a lot of good about timber grow lights for the money.

You could also look into quantum boards. Kinda popular at the present.

Timber

I think the timber runs more efficiently as well based on driver, if i remember correctly from my research. I don't have the led calculator on me right now.

Also have you checked with @REALSTYLES he puts these together and based on my conversations with him he's a great guy with great pricing.

Also, have you checked growmau5 kits from cutter?

No offense @REALSTYLES but having the unit with a frame, thermal paste and everything I need with the ease of buying from a website with a debit card is worth the extra money to me.

I have better to offer lol. I use thermal pads which are better and the rapidled.com is not a good deal it has poor efficiency. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I want something that comes with everything including the frame, I live in a small town with very little resources. I think I will try out the timber because it comes with the frame and pin heat sinks. That was almost easier than telling the difference between sigourney weaver and danzig

You'll see. I'm doing custom lights and get higher bin than most on cxb. It only cost $20 to make a frame that look like my lights.

It's all good. I'm a grower who makes lights and soon I will have complete lights for sale but for now no. I just got the hook up on parts for now. PM me

$20 for the material to make frame? Where and how? Local hardware stores want $30 for just 8 ft of 1 inch X 1 inch X 1/8 6063 aluminum angle. Internet prices cheaper, but shipping eats that up. Thanks

You can cut that price way down by getting the angle at a local metal supply like Patton steel etc,probably less than a buck a foot,home depot marks it up big time.

Wow, guess I went to the wrong store, Ace hardware in my little town. Going to go find a lowes, thanks.

 

[DrMcSkunkins]

My nearest lowes or home depot would be a 2 hour drive away, we have ace hardware and kmart the next town over which is like an hour away. When I walk into ace they swarm on me like flies on poo, "what are we getting today"? "Oh, angle iron, what are we building"? So yeah, would rather just have it already built...
