Need help understanding COB LEDs !

  1. Ok, so now I’m more confused than when I started here lol!
    Seems like 71038473 options for lights !!

    My question is, when I buy COB led, they come as single bulbs correct?
    If so, what do I attach these LEDs to?
    I know QBs come as DIY kits, but what about COBs ?

    I have a link here for a 137watt COB LED

    Link: BXRC-30G1000-D-73 Bridgelux | Optoelectronics | DigiKey

    Now, if they are just the bulbs themselves? How do I got about installing them in my grow tent?

    For the price $67 CAD ($51USD) for each, I can buy 3 bulbs (411 watts) for my 3x3x7 tent. I plan to run 2-3 tents for perpetual grow, so price is pretty good.
    That $15 extra per tent I wanted to spend on lights. If I need a panel or something to install them, I would hope it would only run me an extra $50-70 (CAD) so that I top out at $65-90$ over my light budget per tent !!

    I hope someone can clear this for me lol!

    Also I believe these are 9 watt COB :

    Not sure , someone let me know lol.
    $196 CAD ($149 USD) for 360 watts, but 40 bulbs lol

    So which would be best ?

  2. Most of suppliers use Cree CXB 3590 chips. We add some 460nm and 660nm around the COB chips. Cree COB
