your opinions on lights under 150 each . plan on putting 1 light on top of 1 medium size plant topped to the max . getting very good results using Philips t8 led bulbs veg like them better then using mh no stretch but they will not have enough penetration for flowering taller plants . its time to try led 12/12 thanks .

For 150 you can put together a decent cob light that would far exceed those. That's what I would do.

I'm not an expert grower (I'm barely a novice), but the reviews on those lights are incredible. In fact, between the few lights they have for sale they have hundreds of 5 star ratings, and very few low ratings. People post pictures of their crops (all types of plants), and report how efficient the lights are.

I ordered a 300W light and it was really well made, low heat, and it's so bright I have to keep it about 30" away from my plants so not to burn them. I can't really compare it to anything because I'm not very experienced, but I can tell you that it's made very well and seems to be doing exactly what it says it does.

Good luck!

I must be looking at the wrong supplier :(. CXB3590's are $90 Canadian so buying all materials for a 4 light would be well over $600 I think. I have no clue about the subject but reading lots and looking at 4x6 area to light. I look at maximum L/m but again I know shit. Perhaps there are better COB's re price point. I'm not looking for better results but trying to cut power cost as well. I'll be watching this :).

Citizen 1825's getting the light with heat sink and fan already installed with reflector cost 80 bucks US each of those can handle 300 watts a piece. With the driver and running to Home Depot for aluminum L stock stuff should be at or maybe a few dollars under. For one plant that would work really well. I'm about to buy 12 of those lights to build a new light.
