you can get good cob sets from kingbrite on alibaba.
i get all mine there.... really easy n they sort ya a "special" invoice for customs...
pm me if u want info
That’s why I bought a “600watt” I knew the actual draw would be between 200w-300w. However, I’m not sure the exact amount. At this point don’t care that much to test it. I did weigh the pros and cons of the different types of grow lights and for my growing situation, LEDs were the most practical and intriguing. I wanted to test the newer technology mainly because I was curious. If need be, I am prepared to invest in the more traditional grow light set up. Thanks for the information. Very informative!Mars, Morsen, Viparspectra and most of these type lights DO work to grow cannabis. However, when you read their specifications they are total lies. A 200 watt (drawn from the wall a true 200W) CANNOT provide 600 -1200 watts of light power. These specs and others are falsification. It just pisses me off that this kind of deception is just plain dishonest.
So, if you like your Mars or other light like it that is cool, just know that you are not getting what you are told. Just look at the specs and if it says 200w (true power drawn form the socket at the wall) it is really about the equivalent of 235W-270W of HID light. Typical LED efficiencies are about 30-35% better than HID so if they made a light that drew 200w from the wall and created 1200 watts of light (compared to HID) then that would be a total breakthrough of technology and people would ALL be using a cheap high output light and the supply would be exhausted in a couple days.
I am not trying to be critical of any given light source you may choose, just saying: Know what you are getting for the hard earned money you part with.

Here's my diy
View attachment 787612
4x CXB3070 @1900mA and 2x BRXA25something (ancient bridgelux series, Vero7 is BRXC) @700mA. Crees are 3500K and Bridgeluxes are 2700K. Altogether 315W on the chips, power draw comes out at about 370W at the wall.
Does a decent job

Sweet. Nice job!
How much did you get from 315w?
Thank you
Still working on it. Last noticeable run was at about 275g, with some low yielding strains like GSC and skywalker. Constantly popping something I've never grown before and changed the environment twice so still working on numbers there.
Well I'd be pretty happy with around nine ounces if you're still dialling in. Nice work
