Lighting Best full spectrum LED for 2.5 x 4 closet for full grow

[Kosbrand]

First grower here. Want to get away from my 600W HPS, gets too hot and pricey electrical bills.

Preferences:
- Cobs
- Clean white light
- Dimmible if possible
- No DIY
- No budget for purchase, but prefer low input watts
- Must be sold in EU

I have been looking around and am leaning towards one of those:
- Optic 3
- Optic 4
- Optic 4 XL (is this overkill?)
- Migro 300
- Migro 400
- (2x) Spectrum king 140W
- ???

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

I would suggest that giving you 30+ watts per square-foot and dimmable. If I remember right HLG will pre assemble and test them.

This is the pre assemble one

Looking good @Damien50 , too bad we can't get them (easily) in Europe... what are your thoughts about other options

I initially considered cob arrays like timber or rapid but my final choice was between HLG and bridgelux because of the light spread that could essentially give edge to edge lighting while being efficient. At this point I think lighting will be dominated by DIY rather than a lot of these pre built fixtures so I never looked into your choices as I felt HLG and strip builds to be superior four cobs.

The wiring is simple on the HLG links I sent but I understand many don't want to do diy and I was hesitant but it is easy ad's worth the money you save

I'm running 12 x bridgelux EB2 at 480 watts that I built for my 4x4 and loving the results. I know alibaba has vendors with HLG style boards but I don't know if they are pre built but cost less. That's just a 23 Day veg in a 4x4 at 480 watts so I can attest that they work.

If you don't want to do any DIY at all then telos is an excellent option, there are some documented grows on here, also Sanlight which a couple people are testing on here and loving it!

Sanlight

If money's no object and you're wanting pre-built, then like @ChroToker said... check out the SANlights @Slater and @St. Tom are using. They're both killing it with them and you can daisy chain if you want to expand later.
Units are also modular so you can upgrade or replace as and when required.
