Nice lights. I really want a set. Anyone purchase a 100W Timber DIY recently? Are reflectors included with this kit or all kits offered? Got a 5sq/f area and want to buy one. I have emailed them twice....(maybe they're out to lunch) :confused:
Thanks for any info

Here's a pic of them with the Angelina reflectors

and the diffusers (click to increase size)

which will help a lot when I foliar feed and preventative spray Spinosad + neem.

Here's a row of them running in the tent:

Now, to wrap it all up, I'd like to go over the Pros and Cons of these Timber 4-cob kits:

Pros:
  • Least expensive kits available on the market
  • Pre-wired
  • Pre-assembled
  • Highest quality components
  • Tested
  • Waterproof in-line fuse
  • Dimmer Pot
  • Inexpensive Reflectors + diffuser options
Meh/Indifferent:
  • Heatsinks could be bigger (I recommend Cooliance CPL14070-XXX for a small upcharge)
  • When shipping multiple kits, even if packed well, it would be nice if they put each kit in its own box within the larger shipping box. It’s a little easier to take them all out and test them that way.
Cons:
  • Requires some assembly? (Not a complete light.)
  • Around $30 more expensive than complete DIY option per 4x cob kit if you buy all components separately (PLC + coupon + Mouser + Amazon/local).
To conclude, Timber offers an arguably better kit, cheaper, and it's pre-wired and pre-assembled and tested. Oh, and at the time I purchased, they were the only pin heatsink kits in stock (all DIY heatsink options were out of stock, too).

Win + Win + Win + Win + Win + Win = Wins.

This is just my take. I don't have any financial or other type of incentive to post. Timber didn't ask me to write a review, and they're not "sponsoring" anything of mine. I just had a good experience with their products and services, and their prices made me not want to spend valuable time doing all of the assembly and wiring, especially considering the competitor's options.

I honestly don’t even know why someone would want to assemble and wire their own, when it’s only $30 per 4x cob kit to have Timber do it for you. To me, with the time saved, it’s a no-brainer.

I’m happy to answer questions if I forgot to cover something.
Just a little FYI, it was found that the reflectors loose closer to 10% of light.. I thought it was 3% but someone came out with the results... Just good to know I suppose. I run without them now and bring the lights closer.

Nice job @RainDan and Timber! :) Your pre-wired COB kits helped me produce this on my first grow:

And this:

And this is the 2nd round, different strains. Had to take the reflectors and diffuser lenses off because these new strains stretched a few inches more than I could handle, but it's still looking mighty fine.

Dan was nice enough to send me some no charge replacement Ledil adapters after one of mine broke when cleaning. I thought that was a nice touch. Great service! :) Karma out = Karma in.

Day 38, natural fade starting on these organic tents.

Night shot of a couple tops. These are about 4" from the COBs @ full blast. No burning or hash tips here!
