No offense intended here, but that stuff is just Ebay/Amazon style garbage. If you went out and just bought a bunch of led light bulbs and popped the diffusers off, you would be 25-40% more efficient than that crap.
The choices you have already been given, put you at almost double the efficiency of most of that junk.
Consider yourself extremely lucky. Most people asking about that shit have already wasted hundreds of dollars
You have the opportunity to build yourself a super efficient light for not much money that will destroy most anything available on the mass market for years to come. They are usually using technology that is severely outdated. DIYers get to be on the cutting edge of LED technology.

Do you just mount the boards to a aluminum frame? Any heat sink sheet needed like HLG?
I am guessing you need at least 5 boards to match SE 1000 watt HPS.
2 - HLG 240H-48A drivers? I wish they would do a video. I guess assembly is pretty close to HLG's set ups.

As that tired and overused pharse goes "it's all good." I agree with you. I appreciate the kind advice and help.No offense intended here, but that stuff is just Ebay/Amazon style garbage.

My guess is that one is just a bigger burple. It pisses me off how Amazon hypes the crap and ebay to a lesser extent. I appreciate all the vendors on here who help posters and all the members here who help each other. I got suckered over a year ago with a Mars Hydro 600. Okay in veg - freaking useless in flower.

Yes - mostly. There are a lot of shitty fake reviews on Amazon. It sells more products. I saw this a lot in the book section. They probably went on Fiverr and bought 5 fake reviews for $5.

I have 240-54 driving 3 COBS at 80W each.
2 sets of those gives off a bit less than a 1000W, 3 sets a bit more.

My setup:
https://www.rollitup.org/t/watercooled-smart-ic-cob-led-build.943904/
for $800, you could build a 2000+ W setup, with a tad less efficiency, superior heat management and comparable light distribution. I'm just saying...

800 for 24 Vero 29c
Run them at 10w each and brag about your 5gpw. 160ma is the magic number.

Huh? How many and which drivers? Thanks.800 for 24 Vero 29c

Vero 29 Gen 7 at $25 each. I know our friends at Cob Kitsor RapidLED also has them about the same price as do other vendors here.
24 Vero 29 x $25 = $600. This does not include holders or a frame or driver. ?????? How do you get to $800?
Vero 18s? Supposedly you can get them for $12 but I cannot find them. Our friend at COB Kits has Citizens for $9.00. I could probably do 10 of those.
Trying to beat 1000 watt HPS SE. Thanks.

24 cobs for roughly 800. Those are for 29c, not d.
For drivers, you figure that part out as there are many different options. You just need to be able to provide 160ma to each cob to get 10w.
Using Vero 29c 3000k 80 cri, 24 cobs @ 10w each will give you roughly 75k lumens. All things being equal (if that is even possible) it should smash your hps.
Frame? Holders? Vero 29 SE have built in connectors and don't need holders. Plants don't care if it looks pretty.

600W of just about any decent cob run at half of its max current would do it

You can get 75,000 lumens from running 4 Vero C's at 1750 as well. What would be the point of running 24 at 10w? That just seems like a massive waste of money.

Is there a holder for the Citizens COBs that can help me avoid soldering? I assume I also need heat sinks for the Citizens. The Wavy's do not appear to need heat sink aluminum. Thanks. .
I am liking Airlight's sugtgestion over at the Fantom Phton thread. 4 Wavvy boards or QBs in a cross and your Citizen's on 4 corners plus your drivers. Which driver?

1000w hps has 110,000 lumens.

Why did you include my post in your quote? I never said anything about 75,000 lumens equalling a 1000w HPS. Stop being so angry all the time.
