Newbie need advice on amazon light using cxb3590`s

[disdudejusdiddis]

So i know how the community feels about chinese leds on amazon, alibaba ect
I dont have the time to diy a light and was about to pull the trigger on a led from timber grow lights, but came across this one.

Product:

Light presentation:

power testing;

The presentation is comical and i cant seem to find any advanced testings, but they are cheap ready-made cxb3590 lights. Buying these would cut the total costs by 40% for me, plus give me the opportunity to pay with bitcoins, which most led light stores don`t offer.
I am not yet schooled in driver efficiencies, ppfd and microjules and all these things so i am asking you guys.
Any thoughts on the quality of these?

looks like they are running those crees at 100W

thats pretty hard and not all that efficient

 

[disdudejusdiddis]

This is probably a stupid question, but if you use the built-in dimmer and put them at 50%, would that fix the efficiency and life span?

 

[CobKits]

no issue on the lifespan either way but you will have way overpaid for 100W worth of light

I had one and finally resold it on internet - inside 4 CREE3590 on a hlg 320h 36B... too much useless watts... I used it at 50%... not the same space between the COB. Here is a pic of inside the light:

It says actual power 300W I assume they run them at 1.7a?

You can get 250W CXB3590 framework for exact same money from Dan, why would you even bother with these?

Have you disassemble it to confirm that these are indeed cxb3590? When I see lights online being sold in these type of enclosures it usually ring the bell in my head...

Yes it was with ideal holder - I grown one session with very good results on a 18x18 area at around 50/60% power. It was my first CREE light but overpriced for only 18x18. Unfortunately I didn't know DIY when I bought it!
