Have you ever actually done this, or are you just assuming this is the answer someone will come to if they do it?
Theres a lot of factors that go into it... in particular, individual's needs.

Man, I was being pretty sincere. I don't think being "American Jerry" is going to be a successful business model. Especially since his advertising seems to consist of "Yo PM me I got great prices" when he isn't too busy ranting about Skype and trolls. It's just really fucking weird.
Editing, because it's impossible not to add this:

He is going to corner the Jerry market, because that's how business works. So yeah, my reply was serious. It is not cheap to stock parts, and profits are small when you do sell them.

Can you share with us which "company" is having the testing done and where the results will be found once complete?

I've grown with a Gavita 1000W Pro and now Cree COBs. I get about 30% more yield from the same amount of electricity with these COBs. Those COBs are well over a year old though and current top bin COBs are already 12% more efficient. I have much less heat issues with these COBs too due to the much lower amounts of radiant heat.

You feelin charitable? I could use some of those HID lights if you are going to trash them, or if you feelin real generous I could really use a COB light to replace a HID light but I can't afford.

That guy got RIPPED off so badly, those helio's are overpriced outdated LEDs they still using mono's and they want like almost 2 grand for each one and they only cover a 2x2 area, fuckin pathetic.

Hahaha you forget Jerry wanted me to do this and I agreed and wasn't I the one who directed people to Jerry and a lot of people don't want to pay the extra shipping from China and it is expensive to stock parts when you have to pay shipping on a 100 pin heat sinks and 30 drivers the cobs are cheap to send because they are light. it's like only $35 instead of $450 for the heavy stuff.

Ordered this Yesterday UCE18XL and will receive on Monday and it will be under 4800w of CXB which they recommend 4800w of HPS this will be epic

Once I get both party's approval, i will definitely share the #s and companies involved.Can you share with us which "company" is having the testing done and where the results will be found once complete?
So far is looking like top bin cxb 3590 in 3000,3500,4000k flavors being tested , with and without reflectors(bare).......mw driver (45w per cob?) passive pin sinks
We've all been waiting for this for a long time........soooo I don't want to get anyones hopes up, I'll know next week for sure.....

That's not very DIY.Ordered this Yesterday UCE18XL and will receive on Monday and it will be under 4800w of CXB which they recommend 4800w of HPS this will be epic

I don't have the time to build the system because I'm gonna be busy making my 600w lights to go over it.

Just remember that when you think people are crazy for not building their own lights, is what I was hinting at. Some people are too busy building other cool things. Time is a finite resource for us all. Money, not so much.

Maybe I should have been a bit more specific about the point I was trying to make, you say LED is useless for commercial growing while this guy is doubling his harvest in the same space by using a double tier system, thanks to LED.
Yes Heliospectra is nearly as rubbish as your ability to put my reply in context to your quotes I responded to ,so instead you jump to the obvious short sighted response.
Your claim on price of LED's isn't valid if you plan on growing for the long run.
So imagine you use that double tier system with COB's spread out to alleviate the small foot print issue.
So you think the move from HPS to LED was wise? If the yield goes up and the heat and power go down it seems like a no trainer. It seems like most of the cob /led set ups are for smaller grows I am looking to do a 12x16 and would appreciate your advise and experience with a larger room. Thanks

you should check out this growmtheres a few others as well if you read around the section. https://www.rollitup.org/t/custom-led-gardens-by-huygens.920090/
Just curious how big of a space are you talking and how many gavita's did you replace? Thanks one more thing how much less cooling did you require?
Thanks

To be fair they are comparing a shit led to the bronze winner in growing... Not even a fair comparison.. But op would know that if he knew cobs and the results behind all of those lights. Also I'm pretty sure ' is a foot mark not inches.
