Cree cob help

Hey I'm looking at building my own led, I really don't know a lot about it but after doing a lot of reading I decided that cree cob cxb3590 3000k are the best you can buy. So it found a site in new Zealand where I'm from who sell them but there's hundreds of them ranging from $60 to $160 so what's the difference?

Buy at Mr. Jerry Meng. It is a manufacturer of diodes, and their prices are the lowest. Not so long ago he wrote me a price:

CXB3590 3500K CD bin 36v 80CRI (CXB3590-0000-000N0HCD35G): 33usd / pcs;
Ideal 50-2303CR + Ideal 50-2300AN + Reflector KB-D82-90RF, unit price: 4.6usd / set.

IMHO, if you choose the optimal wavelets nanometers, then you can make a combined setup 3000K + 5000K. But I recommend 3500K. See attachment.

Just finished a build ..I wanted some efficiency for seedlings/clones/Mothers and may try them in 4x4 tent (already have a 600w HID) I built two 6 light rectangles that can be daisy chained - this way i can put one 6 light on a bench if needed..cant beat that kingbrite price. I basically have two 6 light builds like Timber Grow Lights for half the cost.

growmau5 you tubes are great material

Is 90 CRI better than 80 CRI? More reds as I can see...
Yep. But I believe this parameter can be neglected. However, if the LEDs show the best performance in a certain color rendering index (CRI), then install them better.

@joelu we need to know at what power the chip will work.

90w~@45%efficient (2400ma)
75w~@50%efficient (2100ma)
50w~@55%efficient (1400ma)
35w~@60%efficient (1050ma)
25w~@64%efficient (700ma)
For a single chip, which will work on current 700mA, perfectly fit the following drivers:
Meanwell PCD-25-700B or Meanwell LPF-25-36 or Meanwell PLM-25-700.

Sorry I'm only just learning about this stuff. now that I've looked into it I was thinking 1 cxb3590 run at 1400mA. I'd like to add another 3 in the future making a total of 4 cobs, which driver would you recommend for that?

Hey the Web site I found is digikey.co.nz I haven't brought anything off them yet but they look legit. Where where would I go to purchase from you?
