FSGTEK Cob Light opened.

I bought 2 of these to start my grow with. I figured I'd open one to see what's inside so I'd have the info to see if there were better cobs I could put in. Unfortunately, I'll need to take a cob off the board to see exactly what those are, which I won't do until I have more lights so I can have one of these down for a bit.

Anyway, for those interested, here's what inside.

What did these cost and can you return them?

$100 per light (bought 2). Yes they are returnable, but 1 is currently in use. You have a better option for around the same price? I recently found the led gardener forum, so will be checking around there for cobs as well as but plan to build my next set of lights. I'm figuring a high side of $15 per cob, for a total cost of about $200 per light after upgrade. I didn't purchase these as a long term solution.

Warranty is still good as long as you know how to carefully unpeel the sticker. , they are chinese stickers after all.

By "utilized wisely", do you mean don't over spec the cobs compared to the drivers? I figured those would the week link.

Absolutely endless other options for $200-250. Strips, qb120/132's, cobs on pin sinks, anything thrown up on a angle aluminum frame.
Or just buy a Mars hydro new TS model or possible a spider farmer they use a better diode but are more expensive.

But the best money savin tip I can share with ya, would be to use LRS model MeanWell Drivers. They're so affordable and just need to be remotely mounted since they arent waterproof.
