No they come with heatsinks attached you don't need a fan on them or anything.
Id agree totally with koondense, the 50w cobs will not be too bad on heat either..
Cobs are the simplest LED answer anyway.. Unless you fancy doing strips around the edge..

ive been using 14 watt screw in led bulbs with lens covers pried off in indoor outdoor light strings with 1 to 4 socket adapters
Many thanks to share pics bro. Good idea with this 4x 14w cfl. Save space also.
I also wonder for 4 big cfl in to each corner 105w or 125w cfl but maybe will be too much.
Also can't deside what spectrum and dont know how much this will matter?
Is there some useful thread with pics how to build something simular with my poor English.
Hi Maimunji,
For me it all depends on your budget. If money wasn't an issue I would probably go LED but for much less cost I'd use CFL. Even fluorescent tubes can work suspended either side of the grow in pairs and Fluoro's run cool.
I think it's a good idea to mix up your light sources & frequencies and in flower, I'd add an hour or two of infra-red toward the end of each 12 hour lights-on period. All depends how much heat your growroom can manage.
Peace and happy growing,

Hi iffy money always issue but this need be to some kind of upgrade. I think i will go with led if they will be the best i dont have much space around reflector in the middle of tent + extractor filter and duct. Only in corners little space. I also dont have idea how i will support this led flying in corners. I will make pics.
Will use them only winter.
Its summer here 33C° in my tent.

Could get a couple mars hydro 300 (130 watt) led panels for ~$70 off ebay for side lighting, ive read good things about them.
It sure is achievable. Lots of top notch growers currently hitting that mark and above. Anytime anyone needs some information about how to hit 2+ gpw check my thread out or feel free to pm me, no worries
My old keeper Chemdog. I was hitting 2.5-3 pounds with 4 rounds per year under 500 watts in a 5' x '5 x 7' tent.
Now the led lights took me multiple purchases of Led panels to find a great company. MarsHydro Led panels are top notch and very cheap on the wallet. They use 5m chips which not a lot of Led companies use at the moment. I have switch completely over to Mars series for led lights. A Mars 300 cost $60 and will yield easily over 1 gpw. They last a very long time. I purchased 8 and none of them burned out in a year of straight use.
I would definitely recommend using them together. For instances in my 5 x 5 area I was using a normal 400 watt average MH/HPS set-up from ebay in the middle of the tent like normal. The Led lights I put one on each side. Where every light(used a light meter from ebay that was $20) was low I re-positioned that Led on that side of the tent to cover the area. Same for the other side.
Check them but looks like space will be issues with this.
I will make pics to see what happening at the top of the tent.
Thats good reading many thanks.
