Just wait until next year after testing some UL approve lights that will have a 7 year warranty and IP66 rated they are not cobs but white SMD chips ran with Meanwell drivers 170lm/w. Oh yeah they are 500w but will get other wattage after my testing.

What is the advantage over Cobs? I remember watching a video (can't remember which) where Cree did a thorough test with their led and they didn't use Cobs. They had their led fixture against a gavita @ 1000w if you have seen it. I remember the narrator saying something along the lines of "Cree thinks our usage of Cobs for horticultural purposes is insane."
