Chinese lights are a total waste of money. There are small companies out there building lights with top quality COBs and components. Even if you started with their most basic light, you'll out grow any Chinese light made. And DIY is really an even better way to go, build and save money. Cobs are great if you buy Citizen, Cree, Samsung, Bridgelux, or Luminous COBs. There are also LED hard striplights, and Horticultural Lighting Group's Quantum Boards, which have replaced almost all of. my lighting. You can do THIS with good lighting, 350 watts at the wall, 4'x4' tent:

These plants look kinda sick or lacking something... Did your lights fry them?

That was the whole point in letting them get out of control, to show what a lack of training or defoliation can cause. I do things like this on another forum all the time, hell I've run a Kratky bucket full of mud lol! There were 4 plants in there to begin with! I put one in the other tent with the Mod420 and a QB 304. This is trainwreck:

I'd had a mite problem also but I actually beat the little bastards! For what ever reason, the big plant in the rear didn't like the nutrient levels, which were only 750ppms, but she went toxic.. A single plant in that tent would have out produced these three easily. Still, the phenomenal growth is the point here.
