COB Chip Integrated Smart IC Driver
I'd like to say that I am not an advocate for, nor do I work for the manufacture or the seller or Ebay, I am simply bringing it to attention.
This is a 50w, COB type LED, with incorporated driver/power supply. A really simplistic approach to DIY LED lighting. No concerns as to matching drivers, no complicated wiring, and get this, the price is crazy cheap, under $2 a unit with free shipping from China. The only thing the DIY guy needs is an appropriate heatsink and some thermal paste and he's up and running.
I just ordered 8 of these for a test run, I'm hoping that these are usable as a substitution for an HID. After I get the parts I will update this thread. As for my heatsink, I plan to use a standard Dell CPU sink that is often found on Ebay, these sinks should easily handle 100 watts in a passive set up using only a circulation/exhaust fan. I payed $11.97 for 8 pieces, and I have already collected 4 of the sinks. These chips have a 180 degree beam angle so it might be necessary to construct a reflective hood out of aluminum flashing.
Here are the links for both the LED's and sinks (you might have to search for the sinks as they sometimes go fast). I'm thinking that I should be able to mount 2 chips on each sink, I'll post photos of my build once it starts.
