I don't have enough information to form an opinion. Who makes the COBs, and what are the part numbers?

I have a King LED dimmable COB, and am building a light array of 8 X Citizen CLU-1216s for a 2' X 4' tent.

Stick with CREE, Luminus and Citizen - I would honestly check out quantum boards if you have the space

You can add Bridgelux Vero to the list. These are all good COBs, that have been used extensively by our members. All of them cost roughly the same over five years. The Citizen has the lowest purchase cost, but the highest running cost. As I said, they all cost about the same when power for five years, and the purchase cost are factored in.
