hello all I am building my first cob lights for my room

16 CLU 048 1818 3500k from cobkits
16 CLU 048 1818 4000k from cobkits
32 Ideal 2204 cob holders
32 Mechatronix Ice Led ultra heat sinks
32 Tims
8 Meanwell Hlg 240 1050B drivers

Just finished mounting on heat sinks.Waiting on drivers they will arrive Wednesday.
Found much respect for @cobkits,@robincnn and@stephenj37826 for the work they do my hands and back are killing me from just getting everything together to mount on heatsinks never mind trying to do all the assembly that they do it is very time consuming I fully understand why some fall behind again much respect to you guys and all the hard work you guys put in. Thank you

You've been busy. You also don't seem to half arse things. Nice work.

Curious though. Why the 3500s an 4000s? Why no 5000s instead?
I'm only asking because I want to build my own. And it seemed logical to pick one cob color from the red. And another from the blue. Unless I'm mistaken.

Fair enough. I'm still learning about COBs myself. I bought a prebuilt multi spectrum blurple cob. That was before I knew anything about Cutter and their far superior Cree based grow kits.
