Lighting IS IT WORTH GETTING A COB LED??

[ZKJ]

Hi im trying to work out whether its worth getting a cob led.

I have a led (600w mars hydro panel)
Already but seen alot about cob ones.

This is my led

But im thinking of getting this 400w roleadro cob led

Do you think it would be worth it?

Its mainly for the summer as i use a 400w hps during colder times

Cheers

@jingo have you used cob leds?

The thing i like about the mars is its almost the size of the tent so it covers everything

I haven't used cob LEDs, there's a whole cob Builders thread on this site that's worth taking a look at. There is a user @BigSm0, that sells them and knows quite a lot of bit about them. Not sure I got his screen name right haven't been in the LED section in a long time. I think Cobbs do really well and it's best to build your own. @Slater did a nice write-up of his cob build and he's in the UK so might be closer to some of the parts you would be sourcing.

@Rebel has used the Roleadro's in the past I believe, she can likely give you some insight.

You'd probably be better off building one with no experience than buying a chinese-made light.

Hey @Rebel im thinking of getting this 400w roleadro cob led is it any good? And do you think its worth it when have a mars hydro 600w.
The roleadro is like £85 and the mars cost me £250

Yeah the thing i would of like about it if i did was if something goes onit you could replace it.maybe if i find a good thread and feel confident enough to pick all the right components etc ill do that instead
