I would not buy from ebay or amazon you dont know what you will get and there are alot of cheap copy cobs around.
buy from the suppliers if you are really interested I can help you order some from the right places.
If you want to wait my friend is going to be selling kits and this is why I am ordering so many atm to pick out what he will be selling.
I thing I like is being able to match you grow area with light size and shape as well as making the light dimmable 10%-100%.
That Mau5grow has been helping me get started he is a top bloke and if you watch his vids he has a 7 part starters help video.
I buy direct from China via my friends accounts.
the cxb3590 are the newest chip, the older ones are good too and much cheaper.

Ok look up KingBrite on alibaba
They are a good place to start looking for parts and if you are new to electronics they are very helpful too.
You could use 3 or 4 50w cobs ether way I would get a LGSU250-1400D to power the setup this will do upto 5 cobs and is dimable it is over kill but I like to have room to expand.
CXB3590 (or your choice )
thermal tape or a tube of paste + Ideal 50-2303CR (LED mount)+ Ideal 50-2300AN (reflector mount) + Reflector KB-D82-90RF (cheapest one 90deg)
Pre drilled Heatsink: Φ133mmH70mm(for 50-65W per cob is a good start or you can go with a fan cooled up to you)
lol I made this easy
I would get a 80cm sheet of alloy checker plate to mount this all to and cut holes for the lights or just use 80cm angle alloy
I think this light discussion may be a bit too much for a beginner grow journal. I would like to see where it goes tho. Do you think we can move it to its own thread?
The biggest ones is now 8" tall. I got the stuff to build a Scrog. I asked the guy at the store to cut me 8 4’ pieces of PVC and I got 12 pieces and 9 different lengths but I can make it work
Got the Scrog built. Moving the ac unit and turning on the MPS bulb today.

I have both so I will veg with MPS until about a week before changing to 12/12. Then I will put in the HPS and veg one more week before budding. Veg likes the blue MPH better.

You can go HPS full time but I think this way is recommended.
Hehe I just saw what you saw. MH is right, I am a bit fuzzy today.
