When will an LED maker realize, the majority of us legal growers are moving up in scale not down, we are getting BIGGER more POWERFUL lights, aka 1kw DE lights, these closet lights are so over priced...who is going to blindly waste money like that, I could put that money into better things, I just don't see it.
one 4 cxb3590 unit and 6 4k vero 29 v.2 for like $1535.50 and you got 643 watts of led that's 40w/sqft over 4x4 area

See 150-200 dollars is completely reasonable for a light of that quality. I would totally for a light at that price point. That's what these lights should cost, they are relatively cheap to build....so much mark up...
I would probably sell units like this for ~$225 tbh if it were me. And I wouldn't say it would flower any more than a 2x2 but it does that well.

Then quit your bitching and get to work already!

Damn, fool- do you have any business experience at all? Do you understand that people need their time to pay? The retail price takes into account the demands of labor time and distribution cost.

The same markups exist in HID lighting, as well. Makes you wonder what the 'actual' cost is on those, huh?

I paid good money for my units, a price which included labor. I don't begrudge people their time investment in my equipment.

Why do you?

300% mark up is beyond what should be marked up. 50-75$ mark up on a 150$ build should be adequate.

how much do you mark up your weed?
i doubt your greedy ass is giving it away
so you make money off others but dont wanna spend it on others whov invested time and effort

I don't sell any weed or clones or seeds, I only grow for my own medical purposes and sometimes gift to friends. Sorry you do not know what compassionate means.

Not all of us need the money from this industry some of us have other means of making money than to have to gouge people on their meds.

I'm glad someone noticed. Price per COB is more than reasonable. There's the Optic 120 that has (2) Vero 18s at 1.75a for $329, or $164.50 per COB. The new A51 is $535 for (4) CXB3590 CDs, or $133.75 per COB. A COB that is tons better than Vero 18s.


Yeah, A51 copied you. :roll:


Why don't you stop being a pussy and start your own LED company? Or do you like crying on the internet? Oh boo hoo, A51 has expensive lights. Boo hoo, there's cheaper lights... Boo hoo, they don't make underwear big enough for my giant vagina. BOO HOO. Shut the fuck up...
Seems like you may be over paying for your cobs they are listed on digikey for 49$. http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?keywords=cxb3590
Personal insults are not needed.
