They have a sale on, at the moment.  I picked up a bunch of Vero29s for $15 and some Citizen 1212 Royal Blues/Ambers for $12.   

Shipping was pretty fast.  

They're likely trying to get rid of their Citizen 1212 and Vero29 stock.  Citizen 1212 is probably the weakest brand-name COB on the market. 

Vero29 is a solid COB though.  Better than Cree CXB3590 in all my testing.

But Bridgelux has improved efficiency of their latest gen 7 COBs by 6%, so maybe they're trying to get rid of the older ones.

Thanks for the input man what shipping did you use ? if i may ask? and why the  Citizen 1212 Royal Blues if they're such a weak brand name? seen some hectic results with the  citizen clu048's

"Citizen 1212 is probably the weakest brand-name COB on the market. "

Citizen's not a bad brand name.  Citizen invented the COB. I said the 1212 COB is not great, as far as COBs go.      

Why Blues?  I get a lot of aquarium customers. The COBs will be good for making cheap marine tank lights.   
I'll probably also make a once-off grow light prototype with the blues and ambers, just for the hell of it.

      Quick question guys:
      which lights do you prefer? 
      Im looking at a light for my first proper indoor grow. I was going to use LED, but got told some good info from from someone at one of the grow shops. He recomended THE HPS setup. Cause its tried and tested always gets good results, is is the best bang for buck. 
      I was looking at an LED but only have max 4500 to spend and that's pushing my budget. So the led i found was small, and the guy selling the HPS SETUP made a good point that those wont have guarentee and will probably break, because its cheap. He does not sell cheap LEDS and and other reputable grow shops follow the same lead they only sell LEDS above 6K 
      Then comes to the CMH light which is in the middle at 4500 which they say gets much better results because of the ligth range. Using a more white light than orange like the HPS. Which iv heard the hps  works better for flowering, than growing.  
      So your choice 
      1. HPS SETUP- R2000 with a warrenty thats with a ballast and its 600W 
      2. CMH setup R4450 globe alone is 1400 of that 4450 so if i break a globe its expensive unlike HPS WHICH IS LIKE 600
      3. Cheap FULL spectrum Led with flower spectrum for R3000 and no warrenty
