Watts means very little. They do not state spectrum, CCT,, CRI, or efficacy.
Wall watts includes the power lost in the LED driver.

A 30W CoB for $13 is not a good price.
It does include a reflector but it is of very little value because CoBs do not need a reflector. A CoB does not shine its light upwards like a light bulb.

A typical 30W CoB costs about half as much as this.

LOL - the last batch of Chinese COBs I bought were 100W COBs for $2 each (10 for $20). Still got most of them laying around unused, since I have moved on to strips.
ijm buying it for the aluminum hood and 20 bucks is a fucking pin drop to me.. id wipe my ass with 20 bucks then hand it to a bum.it burns out ill slam some cxa's in there and mangle a fan onto it.. should cool about 100w's of heat with that suraface area.. and since i dont have a mechanics wheel i cant make an aluminum hood. and for the price and size its perfect..

That's just wrong. WTF is wrong with you??

Wiping your ass with a $20 and dropping it in the toilet would be a better value than using it to buy this fixture.

LOL - considering any machine shop could whip out a bunch of aluminum pieces just like that for a few bucks each, I'd say he might as well be wiping his ass with 20's and flushing them.

And I seriously doubt they will dissipate a 100 watts of heat without a fan blowing on them.

Strange how it began as "cheapest LED option" and now its "I'm buying it for the aluminum hood" LOL.
