your opinions on lights under 150 each . plan on putting 1 light on top of 1 medium size plant topped to the max . getting very good results using Philips t8 led bulbs veg like them better then using mh no stretch but they will not have enough penetration for flowering taller plants . its time to try led 12/12 thanks .

For 150 you can put together a decent cob light that would far exceed those. That's what I would do.

I'm not an expert grower (I'm barely a novice), but the reviews on those lights are incredible. In fact, between the few lights they have for sale they have hundreds of 5 star ratings, and very few low ratings. People post pictures of their crops (all types of plants), and report how efficient the lights are.

I ordered a 300W light and it was really well made, low heat, and it's so bright I have to keep it about 30" away from my plants so not to burn them. I can't really compare it to anything because I'm not very experienced, but I can tell you that it's made very well and seems to be doing exactly what it says it does.

Good luck!

I must be looking at the wrong supplier

. CXB3590's are $90 Canadian so buying all materials for a 4 light would be well over $600 I think. I have no clue about the subject but reading lots and looking at 4x6 area to light. I look at maximum L/m but again I know shit. Perhaps there are better COB's re price point. I'm not looking for better results but trying to cut power cost as well. I'll be watching this

Citizen 1825's getting the light with heat sink and fan already installed with reflector cost 80 bucks US each of those can handle 300 watts a piece. With the driver and running to Home Depot for aluminum L stock stuff should be at or maybe a few dollars under. For one plant that would work really well. I'm about to buy 12 of those lights to build a new light.

I'm running 1 plant under a mars 300 ATM and it's doing really well (better than I thought it would), I can't get pics cos it's lights off but if you search "Blueberry cheesecake" u should find it on here

i typically run 1200 watts so looking at something to cover that

. Just seems the DIY price will be over $600-700 Canadian
