Lighting Cob options

[Hippy_BiotabsF70]

Unfortunately I can't point you to parts available bit by bit in the uk mate.

I can point you towards a man in europe who can sort you out a decent kit for very reasonable money who will post to uk and I can vouch for him. He may even be able to point you in the direction of parts available in europe/uk.

I got a 200w 4 x citizen 1212 clu048 CRI90 3500k for 200 quid. Soon to go into my 3x3 tent to replace the dreaded blurple and fan noise

I believe he has a 5 cob 250w system available.

Says sold out looks like a bargain but I couldn't do that all at once so need to buy the driver first, then the lights, heat sinks then all the other bits to do the jobsobi need a reliable U.K. Source really

Yeah don't fret man. I did it outside of eBay so was on 100% trust with the bloke! No problems at all and a really helpful fella too. Didn't mind me bending his ear with questions

Sweet thanks, loads of options then. I've got my list I think il stick to which is the 3 cobs on the 1050 driver just need to search around for prices and such but around me. I've got a cpl months before the funds we be there so lots of planning time

I wouldn't worry too much about warranties mate, which I think you mentioned?

When you get the gear in your hands you'll suddenly see how simple it all is. The driver is covered with full warranty, cheap and easy to get in uk. The heat sinks you could probably throw around the room with no damage as they're so light! which leaves the actual cobs which are cheap as soggy chips.

Just want to pop in and say you guys rock. I remember when DIY was first brought here and the questions went days without responses. All these helpful answers in one thread and done promptly. It's a great thing to see. Keep up the good work

Driver is looking like my main expense right now at £120. Not sure I can trust the Chinese versions on alibaba
