Cheap and Cheerful DIY using Citizen cobs

I just got word from a SECRET source that Citizen will no longer sell to the horticulture industry. They have also canceled their horti COB. If you are going to buy their COBs, it is best to come in as a lighting company and do not mention growing in any form or they might not accept your order. This sucks, but I will still use their COBs.

That's funny, my local CDI sales rep said he just did a big order for a grow close by me when I told him why I was ordering.

I can't imagine any company would refuse to sell based on intended use...I mean how does that even work?

its how they make their living, it was the same with selling books in the UK or even bullets in the USA

they have agreed to sell their shit in one or 2 regions, at a fixed agreed price

chill as the p&p will bankrupt you ..lol

but if you are still interested look for their agents in Somi (Finland)

No doy, I just don't think they can tell their distributors around the globe who they can sell to. That makes no sense on any level.

I'm sure @nevergoodenuf is telling the truth, I'm just not sure what "horticulture industry" means. Under no scenario is digikey asking me if I'm using a cob to grow weed before they sell to me, that's ridiculous.

Fuck it man, I'm more interested in their blue cob for aquariums. I could see 70% -80% efficient out of that little beast.

Dear Cree,

I would really like it if you could make a 3590 or 3070 without phosphor. Basically just a big blue COB. Very simple request IMO. Like the deseil of cobs...less processes. But hopefully not priced like deseil.

Next,

Dear Intematix,

I would appreciate it if you would work on a horticulture phosphor blend that maintains high effciency while still targeting deeper red area of the spectrum. I would like this phosphor available in a 85-90mm remote disc and/or coating a glass or silicone lens.
