Hello fellow growers im about to change to led lights from my two 400w grow ingen on 1.2square meeters. I have read alot on the topic and I feel its like a jungel.

Thank you for the advise. I have contacted the company the problem is that the price is very high considering im new to this and dont know what to expect throwing out over 1000dollars for the Leds and shipping to EU makes me abit sceptic.
I have looked for some other led lamps maybe u can give me some advise i found something on alibaba maybe u can give me some response on this i would apreciate the help i know its probably not as good as the timberleds but for a start maybe a couple of theese ones would cover my area? If not maybe you could help me find something a bit cheaper than 1000bucks / Flodas

Thank you for the reply. I dont have any major knowlege in building DIY. But the cob citizen looks very intresting i have emailed them for how mutch the shipping fees are.

I have one more question u maybe can help me with how long is the life span of the cob citizen light before u have to replace it. Ive heard something about 50000H but running 12/12 i would need to replace it after one year aprox. Is this something you may have knowledge in? / Flodas

I missed its suppost to work for 10 years thats crazy.

Thats badass! I have decided to go with 4 ggl 100w or a DIY vero 400w leaning on the vero kit most. Building the frame and I can build it out or replace any broken parts easier. I have one last question to you sir. Vero doese have a passive heatsinks and the ggl have an active fan is there any significal difference in life span or any other noice, one more part that can break down etc . / Flodas ;-)

:clap: Right on flodas :hump:

Quality fans should outlast drivers & noise is about the same as ur pc fan.
Passive lights use bigger heatsinks so the light is slightly heavier & ur right
about less parts breaking down.
