I bought a single cob light a couple years ago and I was disappointed with it. Super bright but also super hot. At the time I had it in a small tent and stressed the hell out of em from the heat. I didn't build it but bought it. Don't remember what brand. But only used it for a week.

Led is the future for sure but the game is changing faster than the flavor of the month for weed. Lol seems the newest and better chips come out every other month.

How much would it cost to build those cob lights to cover a 8'x 14' flower area?

Since the Vero 29 gen 7 and the 3590's came out. The quality is there, just depends on how you want to run them. Soft or wide open. These COBs and the Quantum boards and the newer strip lighting are well worth the $ now. I made sure I bought great heatsinks and great drivers too. That way, I will always be able to use those with any new LED that comes out. My opinion, any style of led that gets 1.80 -2.00+ micromoles/sec(?), you will produce high end results. I DIY my lights, so I am switching stuff around all the time. I always say I can cover for under a buck a foot. Whyte is at .85. It's time to pry those wallets open and take a step to a new and different style of growing.
With the right setup, you can greatly decrease energy bills, whether AC or heat.
Another $ saver, no more bulbs, if you hit with water will explode and many more. Thus, a safer product.
The sky is the limit. I have "no comment" on the "China Blurple" style. lol

Note)
The most important thing here, it's about growing, not what you are growing with. HID's have been the leading light since the 50's(?). It's been the best, still maybe the best for a 1 or 2 grows, or, for the new growers that needs to learn the plant in general 1st. More experienced growers will be the ones that will benefit, and see how the plants respond to such a drastic "light source" change. It also brings more modification of nutrients and the total environment into play.
Sorry, got to rambling. lol
Just grow something!

I only ask in this thread because I frequent here and it seems like most are very knowledgeable. I decided to get a 400 or 600w HID and was wondering which brand kit to get.
I have read reviews on Apollo and ipower but they seem to have ballast issues. Any opinions would be appreciated.

I've been extremely happy with the 250/400/600 variable watt units by Vivosun, sold by Amazon.
