The budmasters are nice because they use actual Osram diodes with documentation to back up the build....and hence the price increase....
The Kind is nothing but a trap, using encapsulated diodes as well... It looks slick and adds features, that you could add to any LED light for a few dollars....
The prospect of DIY is this, you can build a better light, than what is available commercially sans maybe Optic CXB setups.....
You could average 50% efficiency or greater with Cree CXB cobs...or Vero 29's.....while giving your self plenty of radiometric data to back it up...
With Kind, you guess....plain and simple.....In fact, email them and ask for the datasheet of the bins they use, see what happens!!!!!!!!
I know what the response will be...sans datasheet....BiG Red Flag!
