That was my point exactly Bobby


Could of pieced together an order using octopart and 2-3 vendors. Might have saved $20, if that. Your price is right on the money easy, quick and direct.

added an expanded lineup of TIMs including uncut sheets of arcticpads as well as 4g tubes of MX4

well after RIU code im a few bucks cheaper than CDI and dont look at you funny when you ask me how to use it


yeah my bad. typo when originally listing all that - surprised it took so long for someone to catch it - thanks!

seen as ur gonna crack open the wordpress maybe you could list under drivers how many of what cob like you have listed for this driver ?

could help wth those ppl asking about kits, at least a step in that direction?

Are those 5 port wagos good for running up to 4 strings in parallel?

 

[CobKits]

added hlg-120h-48A, an excellent choice for 2 x cob rigs:

It amazing that we still see jack for citi grows?

Where are they at?

With that logic every other post should be 3590 grows. Hate much?

 

[CobKits]

added BJBs for citi -048 + the F13839 angelina reflectors (no adapter ring required):

I wish you had the BIG sheets of GapPad. I ordered one from mouser once and it was great. Maybe you could offer them? Like 250mmx250mm sheets.

 

[CobKits]

That's about right...scroll through and look.
And my point. You have everyone from small closest to warehousesand commercial facilities running Crees and showing it all. Big and little, results and examples are all over. Not citi's.

I don't understand why citi hasn't caught on. They have been getting hyped for months now, and still no grows? And when I ask...I'm a hater. New flash bro...I have bought more citis than anyone one or company on here...and actually use them and don't sell them. That's testing. But ya...I'm just an unjustified hater asking for actual real world use of a product that is claiming to be so much better. WTF was I thinking for wanting to see what others actually do with it so I can compare my data.

Whatever man, it was just another passive aggressive statement that you left in a competing companies thread like you often do. We will see here in the upcoming months how fast you change you tune.

You nailed it, man. Couldn't have said it any better. 100% accurate.

i don't understand why we are getting all excited about these citi cobs, yeah they are cheap but the don't get the efficiency when driven soft like cree.... If I'm only running 250w that 5% efficiency is like a month running cost per year saved....

The Citizen's perform great, I have had them in the mix for a while. Also the Luna's have been great, too. Me as a grower, has never been great, and I still end up with great quality. I will also be getting another CRI test with mostly Citizens. I hope to have it started in a week or 2.

I believe Citizen cobs are taking off because there are so many options available and for sale locally. Buying a 1212 for 13 bucks is pretty nice especially for people just getting into DIY. You never see advertisers here selling anything besides 3590's so when a 10 cob light costs 450 in cobs alone people tend to head to citi. I bet if they had multiple choices like 2530's and 3070's people would be talking about citi a lot less.
