I meant the TopLed COB light has a reflector instead of a lense. Is that correct?
No, the COB light HAS lenses

I'm not understanding the point you are trying to make. I think there are a few points worth considering on the subject of servicing and as I see it none of them are in favor of the COB. First there is cost; an entire array is obviously going to cost a lot more than a single diode to replace should something fail. Second there is availability; a single 5w epistar is something I can source myself easily where as a COB array that's going to fit in my light and be in the spectrum I need...I'm pretty locked in with the manufacturer there.
I'm not trying to boohoo the COB lights. If they are better I will certainly buy them. I am just trying to objectively understand them.
who dont use the internet for searching for info, im pretty damn sure everyone on here uses the internet for research, tell me how many strains have you researched in the last 6 months, how many phones, tvs etc etc do you research online, you check many sites and go off the info, the info said cob lights use lenses, how was i to know the top's lights use reflectors and not lenses,
now we find out the 3w use reflectors and the 5w uses lenses, be interesting to see how the light with lenses compares to the light with reflectors, led's have come a long way in the last few years, its whats got my interested, at first growers wouldnt touch them but now their coming into their own and im pretty sure its going to be the best method to grow plants with due to the spectrum of light led's can give, its why i follow a few led journals,
i certainly dont buy anything without doing research, i wouldnt buy a car without checking warranty sites and repair sites, if you just buy what you see then you could end up with a load of crap that dont work, hence the reason im following a couple of grows running these leds that jons testing, so far results are pretty damn good, i just need to see how the flower and the bud density then ill make my own mind up if im going to use led's or not, so now i need to find out if the lense option is a better light, i know it bumps the power up but is it possible to get 3w with the lenses, it just seems you would get more penetration or better directed light using the lenses, but so far the led that jons testing is giving pretty amazing results, i was put off by leds a few years back but since following this journal im pretty confident that leds will soon be the best option for growing
Its fairly simple honestly...If you had to search it you shouldn't speak like you have experience with it. Copy and pasting someone an answer just to answer is simply ridiculous. Sure everyone does searches to research, but simply copy and pasting what you find in someone's journal is flat out rude. Especially when they are flat out wrong answers. Like I said before, anyone can come do research by typing something into a search engine, but people are coming to ask Jon705 questions about his lighting, not you.
How were you suppose to know??? by reading jon705's answer not answering for him.

Re: the led cob longevity replacing debate.... has anyone had an led fail, or had to replace a diode? Does it grow shit well is what's important.
I'm pretty certain dp didn't mean any harm. Whether right or wrong, he always gives advice with the best of intentions in my opinion. Seems a bit unfair to attack the guy, debate his advice fair enough.
