I have a 600w equivalent(276w actual draw according to manual) viparspectra, interested in going with cobs.. Anybody done this, or know what drivers it contains? Is this a wise thing to do? Or is the Vipar okay?

take apart a viparspectra 600w equivalent light and use the drivers to power different leds, cobs specifically. I'm wondering if anyone has done this or at minimum knows the features of the drivers.

Agree. That unit doesnt have heatsinks for cobs, best to just leave it alone. Vipar is a fine veg light

Yea i don't really have the room to run a veg and flower tent and don't really have a need for a veg-specific light. I would rather have something that can take me through a whole cycle. I'm either going to try to sell it or use it for parts. Any clue how the resale market is on that light? I haven't seen any classifieds on any of the popular forums..

You could build a frame and mount a few cobs on either side and have the tore down cheapo unit in the center of the frame. Just my 2 cents.

I've thought of this sort of thing, but if i'm going to do cobs, in the 2x2 i'm running, it would probably be overkill..
