If you're a fan of the burple LED scene, you should consider checking out these Spider COB lights:

There was a recent thread where those didn't get positive sentiment. For example, they're not COBs are they? They seemed to fall into the "you can do better for the money" category.

Really?
Why would the "Owner" of another mommy's basement adventure be recommending some piece of crap light that has already been ripped to shreds by the led gurus here?

Hey man, I'm digging these tasty LED lights. Which one do you think would perform the best in a 2 1/2 by 4 by 6 closet in a grow tent. The T-1 2100 I linked I could just run a couple cfl's or an MH with it since its lower wattage. But let me know what you think.

Note, the thread posted is a couple years old and better options for drivers and cobs are now much more readily available...

My goals are to successfully harvest about 2-3 plants to start. This will be my first time growing indoors, i want to do it right and keep the price somewhat in a budget around 700-850. Including the grow tent and lights. Basically everything i need to just start up. This is for my personal self. Yeah im in legal state, no roomates, The closet is about 2 1/2 feet wide by 4 feet long, and 6 feet high. I have autoflower strains so im not worries about them getting too tall. You mind helping me put together a set up? like send me links to a grow tent that size and some links for good starter kits etc etc?

You don't need a tent. Just use the closet as your tent.
You just need some light and some ventilation and some white paint on the walls.

My good friend has the solid state option that's waterproof. He kills me in yeild everytime compared to my 600w solistek HPS and 2 90w led 660 boosters from G8. It's a great light but runs an easy $1k. Could probably build one that's better for less.

Dude for that money, spend another $75 & buy a gogreenled (gogreenleds.com) discount: RIU15 for $456.
But you're better off buying your own diy supplies you could get 5 cxb3590's for 220-250, 36"-48" heatsink for $50-80, & a meanwell driver 185-1050 for $55. You'd have a SICK light for the same cost. Get 3 4000k, 1 3500k, & a 5000k cob.

So tastyled uses hlg 240-1750s on ALL their lights or just the 4 cob?

I'm pretty sure the different tasty models -1400 -1760 etc indicate which mean well driver was used as they come in different current ratings....

It just seems running 2 3590's on a 240 1750 is unefficient?

why so?

It is fairly inefficient compared to running 4 on a 240 1750. But it's still one hell of a 125 watt output lamp.
Outside HLG max capacities there aren't 94% solutions so I work the HLG-C in as much as I can for that current.

Build it and you will see it's a nice light from the cost to competition ratio. And it's nice to to have some crappy competition which I won't mention. I see A51 and PLC as my main competition because they are the only ones besides me that charge a fair price by the watt for the performance, for what that's worth. Vero is the conservative choice but CXB is the sly dog taking all the performance ribbons, which make sense when you look at owning these lamps for 3-8 years.

I hope to get a hold of one of your fixtures soon. PLC is def competition, but i believe heaven bright, and johnson family is right there with you as well.
