Cob leds are the newest technology and the best lights are DIY projects.. you can build a much better light than you can buy.. Do some research on cob leds and spend wisely...

Listen to this guy, it took me just a week to understand vocab and very simple math. This site is filled with a treasure mine of information if you dig for it or just ask some people. Here are a couple links that got me started

Also I would recommend a DIY COB build, as you can customize to a greater degree such as turning the amperage down on the driver to produce only ~600 Watts @ the Wall while you can crank it up to ~1200 Watts @ the Wall if you wanted to. The vocabulary you are looking for that regards yield is PPFD, PAR Watts(/sqfeet and total), and lumens.
Here is how I worked out the Pros and Cons of DIY COB
Pros:
With high efficacy rating, can generate more than 1.0+ grams per Watt
Can spend less Watts @ the Wall without sacrificing yield (depends on Set-up)
Don't have to worry about Toxic bulb material
Don't have to worry about RFI interference by your digital ballast
Don't have to replace bulbs for a long time (~50,000 hour life)
Don't have to worry about the heat burning your plants if the lights are too close
LESS HEAT, meaning your Fans will not be working overtime = less power used
Cons:
Takes time researching parts and functions
EXPENSIVE AS FUCK compared to an HPS setup
You need to assemble the lights YOURSELF (in my case I am probably going to hire an electrician to work on the AC side and some soldering for my Flowering Tent)
Many, many, many different parts if you are going with an active heatsink and cobholders/reflectors and many wires.
Startup items will cost a good amount: Soldering Kit,Thermal Interface Material, 18awg Wires, Wire Cutter/Crimpers, LUX Meter, Potentiometer (if you want to Dim lights). Point is it the money will add up.
Did I mention it takes time to configure your own setup? Took me 50+ hours to work mine out and I still have some questions.
CAN FAIL if you wire it up incorrectly.
The material you need to assemble your lights will cost you more than $100+ but will last you a good while, in case you want to build more lights. For the amount I spent on building my veg tent lights (2'x2'x4') including materials needed to build it I could've bought a 1000W HPS setup with a Lumatek Ballast/Bulb and XXX-L Reflector Hood if I spent around $50-70 more. But this is because I am building a 4 COB setup with a 1400ma dimmable Driver, with the intent of using it as a Flowering light in case I am not vegging (like during Summer, where kWh rates go up) and also as it is my first time building a COB setup, this 4 COB setup is almost identical to the lights I will have in my Flowering tent so it serves will as a prototype that will give me some experience before I have to assemble my 4 Drivers, 16 COBs flowering light setup
Hope this helped.
