yes thats all in stock except for the 50-21000an adapters, at 28 you'll run me out, im ordering more today so will ahve them by end of week. but youre missing ideal holders for those adapters and reflectors. nobody has them, theyre a few weeks out.if you want to mount them quicker get the bjbs and the reflectors that match them (no adapter needed)

the stock on the website is correct 99% of the time with the occasional odd exception or large orders ike you mention. i generally reorder holders when i get down to 20-30pc. been trying to get the ideal holders for over a month already its a factory shortage

No one has ideal holders it's like finding a needle in a haystack lol
I thought the bjb holders would not be able to wire 4 in series due to voltage I'm still a newb

Hey @CobKits did you guys get the correct reflector adapters for the Citizen sent out in the mail to me? I will send those incorrect Cree holders back as soon as i receive the ones for the Citizen.

No it worked out ok. I am still back and forth on which frame i want to go with. I'm moving out of my tent in November into a 7'x7'x6.5' room i'm building with Rtek. I think i am going to go with 36L" rectangular frames with 9" cob spacing to cover a 3x4 flower area. I will be building another light and frame to go with the one i have so there will be 8 (1812's) cobs run with 2 HLG-240h-c1050b drivers over the 3x4. Still working details out as you can see.

story of my life. im talking to the local fab guys this week so hopefully i have affordable bolt together racks soon. i have a good universal design down but hand drilling and tapping is a killer on anything you wish to sell

I don't envy you a bit there. It will be cool to see what you come up with on the final product. You got some really great stuff on your website and it seems people are catching on to the cob scene. Everything sells out so fast. You guys selling theses parts aren't even really pulling any profit on what you are selling the parts for. I really researched some of the places to buy parts and you guys are barley making a dime after shipping and everything is said and done. Expensive hobby but it sucks a person in really fast.

i can get a cob with a cooler and a fan for less than I can a single chip from digikey. even with the bullshit shipping to canada all said an done its less expensive to order from cobkits than anywhere in canada

build a plug n play set up for people. charge cost plus 10% and cobs will be your day job. especially if you can get the capacity to build at a industrial rate.

how do you recommend hanging your light engines?. i mean if all else fails im gonna make something with wood... but what is recommended?
Click to expand...
ive been experimenting with some clips that clip in between the fins so you can hang from that. other than that like a sit-down-on-it option like the mod420 plates, though im not sure they are sized to hold it.. it should as im pretty sure those hold 105s. as i work on the frames it will evolve. i like these high power solutions a lot- so easy.
