Thanks PSUAGRO, sounds like I should avoid them really then, shame as I liked the idea of the fuller spectrum and being able to use them for both veg and flower stages, was just about to pull the trigger on one..

For a similar price range what would be recommended options to consider for a approx 300 watt LED system?

What's your budget? A51, Onyx, and the links right above your post is the direction you should look into.

Hi.

I have a tent that is 30"Lx18"Dx36"H. I plan to build my own LED using 3000k COB LED and hopefully under 100watts of lighting power. How many of what drivers, COB LED recommendation, and heat sinks do I need? I plan to hang/mount each LED light separately as shown from another DIY using their small build.
My plan B is the purchase a platinum grow lights P150 as their p300 would draw more power than I prefer.
My budget is about $200 for parts I listed.
Ive read and read but too many "fine lines" or debates as to whose opinion is most accurate. If the DIY can beat the P150 for efficiency and price then i'm all ears and on line shopping ready.

Do you have a Lowes type store(building supplies ect.) Maybe electric supply? Just wondering, that's where I picked up some solid 18 gauge. Good luck. By the way I HAVE USED STRANDED BEFORE ALTHOUGH NOT AS EASY TO WORK WITH.

Thanks JimmyIndica i have sent them an email to see if they have 18awg solid core. Its all i need to construct 2 x cxb3590 led fixtures. Oh and some wagos...

Mc130p, i was going to tin if i did not get solid core, but thanks for the input.

medicinehuman i even went to maplins and they had 10 core and 12 core but not what i needed.
