@fragileassassin definitely makes sense, it's not something that can just be jumped into without a lot of interest to begin with to offset all the time and energy needed to do something like that. I think what makes or kills these kind of things is how many people are interested and how much of...

I've been on the fence about buying from PA hydro. On the one end his system looks legit and the parts used look like they'll last. On the other, the cost seems too high. He probably can charge that much because enough people want it and will pay for it and no one is offering a pre-assembled...

Maybe it would have been worth it if I didn't do all this research, but with my knowledge now a 50w cob (which is way more than I need for a bucket and can easily go to 75w+) I can probably build one for $50-70 depending on shipping.

That's true, I probably way over researched this and a 50w build is probably going to pull $5 max a month in electrical costs with poor efficiency.

I'm building a spacebucket and wanted to go with a single cob setup, since it seems like a nice balance between efficiency and cost. I'll probably do active cooling since there'll already be a few cpu fans for airflow in the bucket. I don't think Quantum Boards fit in a 5 gallon bucket and I...

What are HLG boards? I'm a noob and baked noodles sound good to me.

What type of application constraints or budgets changes the choice between parallel or series? I didn't think there was a huge price difference, or do you mean because of scaling issues.

I hate to make a new thread about drivers, but I find conflicting or older information when searching about thermal runaway and I'm sure it could help a lot of new users too (or at least me). Can you help me settle the advantages and disadvantages of low voltage (parallel) vs high voltage...

So probably best to just stick with cobkits for sourcing 1818's?

Does anyone know anything about these? https://kingbriteled.en.alibaba.com/product/60559207487-803933123/CITIZEN_CLU048_1818C4_353M2K1_COB.html I'm pretty new to all this and I'm interested in getting a 4 Cob setup for a single plant grow. I watched growmau5's tutorial series and he recommended...
