Anyone as excited about these as I am? Def gonna purchase a few when they drop, might need a few heatsinks though.

OMG really? That's awesome, I feel so honored that the Supreme LED'er saw a post on the ledgardener forums.

Hope he had good things to say. Actually, nvm. Dude could straight insult me to my face and I'd bow down and beg him for a job at ChilLED. 😂

Srsly tho Mau5 if you're listening, you guys still hiring?

Okay, it’s a handy voltage and a good number of diodes on a small form-factor and at a decent price (even if it still requires the most expensive of heatsinks).

Definitely a good way to pack a bunch of light into a small space... and will probably be a great compliment on COB builds.

But it’s 100% contrary to the ProGrow video he recently posted - in that video they are touting a design where LEDs are equally spaced across the entire footprint of the grow space, providing for even, deep coverage - even in the corners.

It’s physically difficult for me to say this (being a rabid HLG/QB promoter), but if these Photon Fantom boards have shown me anything it’s that these LM561Cs work even better when spread-out over greater distances.

I’m sure this will be a useful product for some.

I’ll reserve final judgement for the numbers demo.
You might wanna double-check anything you've read here...

Probably a move to gain even more market share. There is people buying and using cobs, now they can keep the same fixture they have and just screw in this new board.

Yeah, both you and Grower both bring up good points. I didn't come from using COB's so these may be more than I'd be willing to invest in initially, as I don't have those type of pin heatsinks just laying around. I got caught up in the hype of the product and had overlooked the actual costs after having to buy those heatsinks and then adding on drivers.

Don’t get me wrong... if I can get ‘em, I will. But probably just to have a board with that stupid logo on it.
