Mounting/housing light kit from Timber

So you guys may have seen my other post about lights and I had ruled out COB lights until someone pointed out that they have some that are already essentially put together.

http://timbergrowlights.com/200-watt-citizen-clu048-4-cob-grow-light-kit/

How would one going about mounting these into a grow tent? I would like to try and keep this is as affordable as possible as I'm already over my $280 budget. Has anyone done this successfully without TOO much work? I am horrible at building things so DIY is very intimidating to me.

Also, how bad would it be to use these? (https://www.amazon.com/Roleadro-HYG05-2X200W-W-Spectrum-Hydroponic-Indoor/dp/B00U2DP48I) or these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Spectrum-400W-Integrated-LED-Grow-Light-COB-Reflector-Plant-Growth-Flower-/272031791214?hash=item3f565bb86e:g:ZgYAAOSw5cNYQSEu). They're pretty cheap and already put together. They have a buy 2, get 1 free type thing too for those that are on eBay.


Thanks!

the ebay light is junk, don't bother

bite the bullet and get the timber stuff

I just put together two of the 200 watt Cree cob kits from Timber. I just used chain from the depot w/ s hooks. Or you can use plant light hangers. Both pretty cheap

Would you mind posting/sending me a pic of how you have it setup? When I say I'm bad at things, I'm bad at things lol.

indeed, they did not have the frames when I got my kits so I made one. I would get the frame also if I were you, it costs me $30 to build. let timber do it . just hang, plug in, and grow!

Those are the cree cxb3590 kits from timber. 4 cobs on a hlg 185 1400b driver. @50w per cob. The other side is a 600hps. Just pulled over 800g off 4 plants. Not the best but not the worst!
