Not when they burn out. Timbers are built great like you just quoted me saying. Lol. Suspect its the vero 29 cobs not the fixture.

If the reflectors melt and cobs die it really does sound like too little cooling to me.

Here you go. Threw the cobs in the trash already.

This unit has already been back to Dan for repairs. Failed again on me in flower.

When I went the COB route I decided to use more COB's and drive them softer so I wouldn't have to use fans. It would seem like he is driving them too hard for passive cooling or perhaps the light got hotter than it should for some reason, maybe defective COB batch or something. Just hoping there is a valid explanation other than to think that all of his lights will fail.

Absolutely. They are built like tanks and have top notch components. I just think we all underestimated the heat coming from 100w cobs. Vero 29 specifically. In veg the light is running 50% power. Only see issues when i push the lights late in flower. 80% power and up.

Completely agree. Imho too hot for passive cooling.
The other bank on the timber has graumaus pucks installed with no issues.

I agree. Hindsight is always 20/20.
