Looking at the unit alone it's one mighty fine light. Love the build quality nd attention to details. What bothers me is they are using 48 little "COBs" for a 200W unit which means they're running each individual little COB at 4.2W which takes us back to the 5w multiled units. Another downside of the build is those COBs are mounted to a multilayer MCPCB (Metal Core Printed Circuit Board). So knowing there are three layers there, one of them is dielectric layer which is an electrical and thermal insulator. This means you have a bottleneck in thermal management where it's ost critical and that is between emitter and the heatsink. Now I'm ot saying hos is gonna make your light crap on you like a mars ligh for example. All I'm saying is the light doesn't run as efficient as it should be. Another thing are those emitters themselves. I have no Idea what they are or how efficient they run. So I can't help you on that side but I'm guessing they aren't anywhere near the efficiency of a decent COB made by Cree, Bridgelux or Citizen. But you do get a mixed spectrum that is gonna provide you a bit higher PPFD.
So generally the light is gonna grow you bud, that's for sure. But if it's gonna perform like some other units avaliable on the market for the same price that I can't tell you.
Have you considered DIYing your light?
Or you could have a look at theese. Same power but much lower price and probbably quite bettee efficiency .

You remind me of someone 
I know yanks can end up expensive due to shippings but I haven't found a manufacturer on our side so far. I'm in Austria and every time I get the idea of building a new light I get butt hurt knowing I'm gonna end up paying double of what those fuckers on the other side of the pond are paying .

Have u seen some of the gear deadmau5 (or whatever his name is) has built..some propper pimped out home made cobs..I'd buy em in an instant if they'd sell em on ebay or amazon I just like how easy the budmaster seems to maintain n I can upgrade parts as I go...ill be doing a grow journal WHEN I get em from clone to ready for flowering n eventually I want a cobx9 or something for my flowering if the x4 does its tangYou remind me of someone
