Keep researching and you will eventually embrace the white light cob. You won't be sorry.
Lighting LED corn light??

Yes, ive researched loads, I was just talking about corn bulbs, quite aware of cobs, I have one. There is other technology out there, not just cobs. I think it is good to see how alternative options are doing, otherwise you can miss them, :smoking::smoking: In the beginning of LED a lot of HPS, growers said LED is crap and that HPS is the only way to grow, slightly different now lol
Keep an open mind I think is the best, you just never know when something could be better or better suited to your environment.

As a newb, like 1st timer without doing too much research, I have wife constraints. I bought 3 x 60 watt LED corn cob light for 2 autos, blueberry and golden leaf. Am I going to have lack of light issues?

Most likely grows with these lights fail due to lack of light, and over watering by new growers. I hope you were able to avoid that.
Not sure if those corn cob lights really have enough power to grow flowers, veg something maybe, but not get you through to flower...

Looked up the corn lights, man they do look badass... Only 38 cents per watt too, that's really cheap. A couple problems though, 100lm/w is not good at all on efficiency. Also it's a major design flaw (in terms of using them for growing) to have the diodes on a cylinder. One of the big benefits of LED's is that all the light is forward facing, so you don't need a reflector. You can get T5 bulbs with LED's in them instead of fluorescents, I've seen them as high as 1.8umol/J....
