Rofl. Will 72 watts replace 600?
No.
Those lights are a couple leds bulbs in a fixture of sockets. Just get the bulbs yourself, a 4' power strip from harbor freight, and some plug to socket adapters from home depot when you get the bulbs. Build this light for $50.

"Wicked" rip off.

This has already been done in my thread by a few guys.

I made lights using gu10 sockets and 15w cobs,they out perform the mars 300,s and dirt genius 280w that I started with.I have also made 2 3 light bars with 3590 and 3070 crees.150w lights made that way cost $50-60 total,my buds got way bigger with even using this style of cob.

Where did you get the parts bro? Thanks.

use 100w cob chips, heat sinks and a fan and some drivers its pretty cheap to make your own

otherwise I pay upto £100 for an led light I normally like the consumption to be over 150w, for under £100 I can normally find one around 400w as long as it lasts a few crops I`m happy

the money I save on the lamps means I can normally afford to chuck an extra one up and that covers it

ok if I can be asked I can build some units but normally its not even cheaper then getting a deal on some 3w or cob units

people always buy them then have to get rid of them before they use them

or plenty of shops doing sales and stuff

ebay auctions can be handy too if you know to look for

How about something like this on eBay?

I bought all the parts on Ebay except for the frame,that's aluminum l angle from the local hardware.The gu10 sockets are $7 for ten,the bulbs are $3-4 each for 15w.The bulbs are available in different color ranges.I use 4 -4000k ,6- 3000k per ten bulbs.I space them in 8" center,2rails in an x pattern with the bulbs.I got bigger results than my blurple lights, but they weren't as dense.I added few 28w blurple gu10 bulbs and it helped make the buds harder.

Do you need a ballast/driver or how do you wire them together? Thanks for the help.

i imagine you could veg under them but if you sourced out those light bulb types on amazon youll spend alot less

they should be pre-ballasted like a cfl.

yeah you could flower up ok with a warm white one of them but I`d go for 1 to 2 of them per plant atleast if you want good sized plants
