Well, will have to see about the parts. COBs, heatsinks and drivers are gonna be a bitch to source here at a human price. I could also order in US and have it shipped here hoping customs won't get nosy. Will see next year when I get my shit back together financially wise.

I'll be testing out the budmaster ll cobx4 for my veg tent n if she's on par (pun intended) I'll upgrade to maybe a cobx9 for my flowering tent

Most that shits made in China n shit anyways..I know it's well down the line but set up a nice site with a clean GUI where they can literally pick all their components (error message if incompatible ) down to design then they have options for ask a rep for recommendation on what would be best suited to their best spec based on the area and what one may achieve or better yet a simple program that suggests the best light for the area. Which would all mostly be open sourced and remember check out alibaba n all those kinda sites for cheap but good grade components but again you'd be ordering to customers spec so would be nice to have a search engine that'd find that set item at the cheapest price then as each new components chosen the tally is added then labour time.

Look if ur looking into it as a possible means on income (we all know the demand for quality cobs)
I'd suggest looking locally maybe some German sites even polish n Russian...Germany or belgium may be a good bet n always give a call I find it catches em off guard cuz if u find a cheap reliable source you're making great money that's without a doubt

I'd even be cheeky enough to call up a cool led company n ask for the number ls of where they get all their gear (components) from n ask if they've any deals..direct whatever

I have no intentions of starting a company or making a living by building and selling lights. I can put a few units together if I get the budget or funds but that's it. Nothing big. I've got a 1yo boy to raise and I don't want to miss this one opportunity as I won't be getting another one. It's all hobby to me and that's not gonna change either.

Stick around here long and it will get beyond a hobby

But u guys have to admit it's a good idea
They'd basically be using ur site to source the components they want that you then place in a custom frame for em ...ppl love custom shit and it would be fairly easy from what I've seen on the youtube just very time consuming and u can't make it as nifty looking or functional as the ones like the budmaster.their design is based around modding..I'm definitely sticking with the COB series but the god results have been insane for like 375w so I'm 100% sure my veg tent will be beastin with the cob x then possibly cob the flowering thread

I wouldn't be very chuffed with plant in the back left as a veg effort, imo u need much stronger veg light if you want to yield in a tent imo
