I grew with the 3070's for a bit to try them and went to CMH instead as the quality and output were better. They'll grow pot (3070's), no question but CMH 315w setup killed them. I recently switched to 3590 COBs and they produce as well or better than the CMH plus quality of the buds is better.
If you can get a cheap price on a COB light using 3070's it might be worth it but the first link you put up from Ali is pure bull;shit. Buyer beware when shopping on Ali. You better know your shit and triple check everything they say, get it in writing which is usually when their bull-shit slows down a bit.

The problem is not really the lights per se - the problem is that you can get MUCH BETTER for about the same price. I just don't give a hanged dog about par and lux reading numbers that the seller provides - because he has a vested interest in exaggerating and lying. I can get accurate efficacy and spectrum from the chip manufacturer to determine what's most efficient, and that's going to be Bridgelux Vero 29 gen 7, Cree 3590, and Citizen CLU048/058 6th gen. If they are not using those chips, they are not going to be as efficient, and simply are NOT worth top dollar. That's my opinion.
Adding supplemental blue or red to a white COB light is simply not the same as a light made up entirely of blue and red mid power LEDs.
Edit: Luminus makes a good chip too, on par with the big three.

I'm saying Bridgelux, Cree, Luminus, Citi etc, white light COBs are BETTER, for about the same amount of money. If you want to equate that to "sucking" then I guess they suck.
