Is that 800watt ACTUAL draw? or 'HPS equivalent'?

I am thinking HPS Equiv, actual draw is around 250ish. I will check the stat sheet.

After a bunch of reading/research on COBs, i pretty much started ignoring the wattage numbers. and focused on PAR, PPFD and DYI values.
Note that a many vendors don't readily provide those values without some digging around.
With what the manufacturers are doing with the drivers, wattage can be bit deceiving. Then you get into 5 watt vs 3 watt leds, and their lifetimes.
For a Geek like me this is cool shit.

This COB is 4 x 200W.
Also a big plus for this light was the 3 year warranty. Each 200W COB piece can be replaced individually in less than minute. Also each cob has its own fan.
I am a network engineer by trade, so redundancy and quick fix is in my nature.

Sounds like you got some nice DIY plans for future builds. Thinking ahead, I like it.

Only way to do it right! Measure twice cut once approach.

Since adding the COB yesterday, seeing big increase in leaf production. Which i am guessing is the plants response to increased light and taking advantage of.

I'm looking at a couple of the Roleadro cobs as a quick fix until I can afford something better.
