I’ve made more than a light or 2 lol. They don’t seem too bad an idea but they’re not claimed the most efficient anyway. How much did your full light build come in at? What are you driving them with?
That’s mine

Sounds like you’re coming in with a decent price there still for what you’re getting. I’ll definitely be following along to see how she grows. And how your 475 comes together.
Cheers man. Made a couple variations of the “COB cool tube” that’s the one I use personally though 
That’s a single row 188w dimmable made for a 2x4ft tent. All work on the principle you run a 4 inch fan and filter through them to keep the COBs cool/extract smells. (This one’s a bit fancier and safer than my personal one cos people prod live electrics like it’s normal)

I did notice that little touch. Gave it a nice steampunk feel IMO.
So you have essentially made cooltubes for your LED lights. Nice idea.

This reads like it was half meant for me? I was going for a steampunk look on the cob cool tube 
and yes I did spray the fan/filter purely to please my own eyes aesthetics

You are right it totally was meant for you. Nice lights.

Thank you mate. It was the stoned brainchild of me and @Albannach one evening. I put it into action on my own build to see how it worked. (Quite well) then made the single row.
Few closer up pics so you can see the “consumer friendly edits” lenses on it lol
