Looks to be alright if they're using top bin Crees. Not a fan of claims like "most powerful grow lights on the planet". I think those flip chip guys with the 1200w heater have already claimed that title.

Price is pretty cheap, not as cheap as DIY but about as cheap as "passive kit DIY". Depends on if top bin Crees, if the fans last, etc..

I've looked at them many times. Talking to them they have a chip on their shoulder. By what they say they have many pro growers in maple land using them. For their 16 cob cxb3590 light the price is incredible.....which makes me sure it's the cheapest bin of cxb 3590 but still pretty good deal for 16 cxb 3590 at about 50 watts. In a 5x5 grow that's 790 PPFD and you'd need it a good distance from canopy based off my guesses the center of canopy will forsure be getting too much light. Mean well drivers too so ultimately if it were cd bin cobs that's 760$ for cobs alone then 200$ in drivers and another 200$ in heatsinks and fans so doesn't seem like they're making much profit after case and assembly. I'd be really supprized if those were top bin cobs!!!

The smaller 4x lights are priced similar to the rest of the market.....

The 16 cob 3590 for $1500 ain't a bad deal but ya the bins are prolly shit. All meanwell ran though... also a 16 cob 3070's for $1,350.... the 3590's seems a better deal for sure.

I sent an email to these guys asking them some questions..

I like how it states "DO NOT BUY A CHINA CLONE!" when clearly these are mass ordered in customized cases by Shenzhen Glow a Chinese manufacturer. They even mass printed their logo on them for BCBlondes.

Anyways, waiting to hear back from these fellows with some answers on warranties and so forth, will post later if they do indeed get back to me.

Those are what he's selling as individual cobs. By his logic in pricing, if he was using $50 CD bins in his fixtures, just the cobs alone would be $800 on his $1500 one. Leaves only $700 for the drivers, heatsinks, wiring,. He wouldn't be making shit off these if he was using CD bin.
There's a reason he doesn't display what chips are used in them.
