Citizen cobs are my favorite, inexpensive with great quality. What wattage are you looking for? Budget? Area of the plants?

I think 3500k. I have space for 4ft. bars with 4cob each. best bang for buck quality still.wattage cob to driver I think efficient balance. thanks for helping.

 

[hello]

I was thinking how to find best option cost wise and other on driver options. maybe one driver for 16cob? not sure if possible or best choice.

Cobkits has the hlg-185h-48a drivers which would power 4 1812 or 1818 to 220w in total.

1812 cob is $18 with holder
1818 cob is $29 with holder

Personally I chose the 1812's

 

[hello]

any help on heatsink 4ft. long for 4cobs. im looking for options available.
also could use help on where to buy each item,and total cost ill spend?
im trying to build a 4ft. 4 cob. I want two or four of these.
what do you choose for cob, 120degree light angle? best cob, cri? or what cob is working best for most? ive been told cob choice by a couple so far.
thanks for help and advise.

You would be best to buy angle aluminum to make the frame and buy heatsinks separately. The 120mm from northern grow lights fit the holders and the cobs wattage. Your best to buy the cobs above. 3500k 80cri is the veg/flower of choice.

Probably between 75-100 per cob with all the frame and accessories. Wire, paste, connectors, holders that stuff adds up.
