That's why I dodged has because the only way I saw to safely and effectively use one is a tent. I'm thinking hybrid lighting is cost effective at least I'll have to see how effective though.

A good option I'm considering is a 150 hps and my led. In a 5x5 area this much led cheap or not plus a 150 hps may be the way for me

No. If you get one, get the one with CREE CXB3070's at least. It's got 2. More expensive but worth it if you're gonna buy a Roleadro.
I want the single chips. Set it up kinda like your rig but each light hanging by themselves. Independently adjust the height of each light

Why? You need to keep cobs at LEAST 1 Foot away from the canopy. Even with my situation having a few really small girls amongst my bigger ones, the light is still doin it's job just fine. And even if you like the idea, having a fixture with 2 cobs instead of 1, still gives YOU PLENTY of freedom as to where you can hang it.

I don't get WHY THE FUCK they say it's a 400w light though. It runs at 0.5-1.0 amps. So 18-36 watts x 2 = 72watts MAX. Fans maybe another 20, but definitely less than even 100w.
400w.... Rofl wow.
