That's what I meant by equivalent, I just honestly didn't have time this morning to look and see if it was a kit or just boards/heatsinks. (And verify the seller.)

The wires, nuts, potentiometer ect can start to add up when you don't need a supply of them. So just make sure you have some of those or they are included.

Can't tell you how many times I've had to go back to hardware store some something that slipped my mind, and that's a little trip for me. (I have almost zero patience to wait 2 days for Amazon to sent me a few m3 screws)

For that space, I would buy a 4-pack of HLG QB132 quantum boards in 3000k or 3500k ($110), and power them with the HLG-240H-36A driver ($45). If you add in wiring, ratchet hangers, & 3/4 inch aluminum angle, it'll be about $175. That's pretty cheap for top-of-the-line "best quality you can get" lights. Those boards can be run up to 75 watts each without a heat sink. That's why I love them so much. Why deal with the hassle of heatsinks when you don't have to, you know? I'm surprised that there aren't more of the types of boards that don't require heat sinks being manufactured and sold.

The QB132s are 4 for $109 if they have the LM561C diodes, but if you want the more efficient LM301B diodes, it's $132 for the 4-pack. I would spring for the extra $23.
