110v?
220v?
other?

Can someone hook me up with some nice plug and play cob lighting companies, please? I've got a 5x6 foot room, 6-7ft tall (sloped ceiling). I Veg some in there but mostly flower. I finally have the $ to upgrade from my single ended 1000w. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've looked at timber but id like to check a few out before I pull the trigger

Cheap fakes. maybe get 2.1 umol/j with the resistors and lm561y diode

More cheap fakes. Just look at the "lm301b" diode.

Yeah I'm scared to go with Mars just from there old blurple lights. I'm starting to lean towards the Samsung boards, I believe I can get my canopy closer to the light and I have a little bit of height restriction going on. Some of my plants get within a few inches of my thousand watt Raptor reflectorI use the mars cob 100w from marshydro company, their price not cheap and it just cover 3*3ft around, so far the light works good, just for your reference not recommend you to buy,i didnt harvest my plants yet,not sure if the final good or not.

I have a 2x2.5 tent and run more than 200 watts in it(it has the potential to run at 250 watts). 100 watts in a 3x3 is not enough light IMO.I use the mars cob 100w from marshydro company, their price not cheap and it just cover 3*3ft around, so far the light works good, just for your reference not recommend you to buy,i didnt harvest my plants yet,not sure if the final good or not.

They have new light now, actually i dont worry about this, lights work great, no big problem so far. i put my light to plant 10-12'' when flowering, seems plants love it.

Yes for the 3x3 area not enough, so when flowering add a small light as supplement , that's work.

Timber growlights has a nice dimmable 5x 6' fixture with up to 1200w I believe its called fatty VS. Only best reviews and very good and efficient lights and customer service. His 5x6' fixture should be siutable for your room and its based on latest Vero29c which is the most efficient Vero COB currently. You can also get latest Quantumboards V2 based lights if you want. Dan is very helpful when it comes to building a suitable light for a specific room. I'm sure he will find something for you..

Be careful! Dont buy cheap Chinese LEDs... This company"Bossled" after 4 months the diodes started to burn out (overheat) and melt the lens!. I tried contacting them several times without any response.

I use a 3 year old home made light. Cree CBX3590's, 5 of them able to run as high as 50 watts each, in a 2x2.5 tent. It does about 1 to 1.5 grams a watt. 5 square feet at 50 watts per foot.
I consider that useable for a small tent.

I always be very careful, and only choose the trusted supplier, so far the marshydro led is reliable . they 've been in the market for 9yrs with the maintain center in my State CA, i worked with them for many times, light doesnt have problem fortunately .

Wow! Looks like she's exploded at some point. It's unfortunately not a rare problem it's more a pretty common issue with these cheap blueple fixtures. I had a pair Mars 300 reflectors(the green ones with silver refelctors and no lenses) 5 years ago and saw the first two burned out diodes within the first 2-3 month. But Mars has reasonably good support and sent me at least a new board for self-exchanging and after the repair I sold it on e3ay anyway and started to make my own lights. The problem is they use no heatsinks to keep them cool and the diodes are anyway not that efficient and get hot real quick. An aircooled PCB is not enough to make it a durable light.
If they do not response maybe consider to change the build-in board against a few efficient strips. 1ft Bridgelux EBgen2 strips maybe fit's inside the housing and these strips really need no heatsinks because of its efficiency. If the build-in drivers tells you its output voltage and current we could figure out how much strips you need and how to connect them if you want.
I don't know your finacial situation but I've seen a lot of these cheap lights modded with efficient strips or COB's and most of the time it was done with only 50-60$.
