Sincerely doubt they have Cree diodes.
Maybe some tiny parts in the chip are made by Cree, but no way you're going to find a panel with 120 cree diodes this cheap without something being fishy.

So if these were to be cree 5w didoes wouldn't that make for better canopy penetration than the their cobs since they use a bunch of mini diodes inside of a chipset?

Even if the drivers and leds are trash, $140 isn't bad for a cob box in my opinion. Its be a lot nicer than anything I could make lol.

If it's pulling ~400w(guessing, haven't seen actual watts anywhere), with cheap leds heat, then the heatsinks should be fine running crees softer. And fans could be upgraded cheaply.

Now to talk the misses into letting me buy one....

That is an auction. Money seen layin' on the table. Don't leave any there. Offer $80 and see what happens.

I emailed one of the eBay sellers. Wall watts is 240w. Said the chips are epistar smd 5050 and the drivers are 4 x 60w but no other specifics. Probably usable for a 36v or 72v Cree cob each driver depending on the voltage that epistar needs.

It will be fun to see the innards and see what can be done with it. Good job on the price.

craptastic
one of the cobs doesnt even light up
the plastic sheets below the reflectors are melting and warping from the heat of the cobs

i dont have my wattsup here but it looks like ~50W cobs (1200ma at 40-60V)

not amazingly bright

blurple

reflectors might be useful for vero 18s or cxb25xx or vero 29s if relieved

Bobby_G you are a bos for doing that! I was wondering, do you think the White colored 800w COBs made by popular grow are the same? I have been researching and I believe Popular Grow is the same as Galaxy Hydro. I just want to be sure to get the right LED for my 3' by 3' tent without spending a fortune. Thank you for any input

Pacific light concepts cx300 is probably your best bang for your buck when lighting a 3'x3'

http://www.pacificlightconcepts.com/product/cx300/

I don't think you can get much cheaper than that without DIY or higher wattage less efficient leds.



Looking back at that driver and housing, the 52v clu048's would do nicely on it for 12 bucks per.

So I happened upon the same eBay light, except I plan on beefing it up now.. Using the same driver/housing/fans, is the clu048 still the best led swap for this setup? Also would a mixed spectrum be more effective, or would (4) 4000k's be ideal? Thanks!

I had the 36v before my bad. The 52v are a little more expensive at $20-$25 each but not a lot of options stocked at cdi.
