Quantum board or cheap hydro builder cobs?

[Stankgreen]

I was about to order the hlg 265 but then I found the covert c600 210w cob on hydrobuilder (rollitup won’t let me post the link).

It’s hydrobuilders in house brand. Price seems reasonable and I could save myself 150$. Does anyone have experience with these lights? Do cheaper cobs perform well? Is it worth it to spend the extra money and get the HLG 265?

I have 4 of these cob lights that I would argue are better then your none hlg choice, they are actual cree chips but older models. They put out around 200w I think. They cost me 172.00 new and are over a year old now but were only used for one grow. I ended ip building my own top of the line fixtures. I'll let you have them for 50% what I paid and trust me they are worth it.

I don't need to sell them, I don't need the money, I'm honestly just trying to help a fellow grower out. Will ship from Ca of interested.
