you better off going with COB's. Those panel led's just don't have the coverage and most of them are made in China and burn out easily. You better off going with a Timber Grow Lights kit or learn a little more any build one yourself from CobKits. I was thinking of buying a few of those panel blurple led's but after reading through the forums i am steadfast on the COB's now. There are a few panel led's that are good from tests that others have done but you going to pay heafty for them. Don't let the Wattage they listed as fool you. They list it at 450 Watts but actually put out something like 125 Watts of light. The COB's are actual Wattage listed.
I'm true trying to figure out what's best for the money, do you build your own?

#coblife.... I wasted money on some shitty blurple panels on Amazon ...
And then I made a good investment with my cobs from timber. Love my cobs

It depends on your situation and what you want to accomplish cobs are great I have them I also have the quantum boards in veg the diy side can save you $100-$200 per light depends what you get and how to set it up. You also can add things easier if you want but also how handy are you? and are you comfortable wiring lights and drivers? If you have several lights to make or are uncomfortable with the wiring or your not handy it maybe easier to get premade cob fixtures or quantum boards or chilled

what size are you wanting to cover?

There are several excellent choices.
Understand that the perimeter 12" will get the least amount of light, reducing useful canopy to ~ 5 x 5
If you want manufactured lights with great reputation and warranty, 2-3 Amare P3 CoBs would work well
Hey Cobby,
can a plant be vegged with just 450 NM mono's?
