ModuLED Mega 13450-B-HBG, tapped for that driver, plus the connector set and they simply screw together.

Is that the best? I bought from ebay same lights but with that big round one heatsink (what people use for framed diy,) and it gets pretty warm..

You could go up to a 134100 if you want.

Why smaller one has this value" for spot- and downlight design from 4000 to 10000 Lumen" higher than smaller one? Smaller goes to 11000 lumen..Is that important?

That is fine, it won't harm the COBs. Remember the better the heatsinking works the quicker the room heats up.
There is a nice video on the tube of a guy testing a load on a pin heatsink and on some ordinary heatsinks, even with fans, they could not keep up with the pin sinks.
As long as the heatsinks are not warm enough to injure you, they are good.

1m^2 (squared) or 1.2 meters?
You want to aim for 30-40 watts per square foot. I think 35 is a great place to be at.
In a 1x1m tent, that would be about 300-350 watts. In a 1.2x1.2m tent, that's about 420-475 watts.
And why COBs instead of strips? A samsung LT564B strip costs like $26 US and the heatsink would cost 3-7$ depending on what you used. So $29-33 for up to 100 watts, in a package that's much more spread out than a single COB. Which has lots of benefits. A $47 44" double row samsung strip with a $10 heatsink (so about $57) can give you up to 200 watts. And the efficiency will be higher.

It means square meter/s..Its 100x100x200cm tent..
And yes I just contacted diyleduk about them. I hope they emit less heat than cobs..

Yeah man, the thing is, and I know it is hard to get everything we need to grow good indoor weed on a tight budget, but you HAVE to start out with climate CONTROL.
Otherwise, you are adjusting the way you have to do stuff, from season to season, throughout the year.
The best place to start is thermal insulation. The better insulated you are, the less climate control you will need. My veg room is now an actual small brick room, maybe 4x12, and I am running the rig somewhere in the 200 to 300W range, temps are really nice and growth is explosive. The little room use to be an outside servant's toilet, from the way they designed houses under apartheid. Well, as we build on to the house over the years, it got swallowed up by rooms on 3 sides, so it is like a bubble wrapped room, with only a small sidewall exposed to the outside. It is pretty cool outdoors. I have the ducting from the flower room come into the roof in the veg room and out through a small window there.
