There will be flames only cactus will grow. lol just kidding we would have no idea since you dont give any information about how many watts you plan to run them at. You would need about 700 to 800 watts for a 5x5 though. Get dimmable drivers and just dim to veg with the 3000k and save you some bucks.
Yeah sry 900w to 1000w total
Not what my data sheet says or maybe I am really high. For example the 3000k 80cri 36 volt D verison 50.6 watts @ 176 Lm/w Now the B version or the 50 volt ones driven @ 900ma for 44.7 watts gets 169 lm/W. At least that is what the data sheet says. The B is not going to gain any lumens per watt when driving it @ a true 50Watts. Seems to me the D version is better @ 50 watts Then the B or 50volter
It depends on how many cobs you use more COBS less heat. More efficient setup are breaking 60% efficiency so that would put out 40% heat.So 1000 Watts would be 400 Watts of heat. So basicly you would have a 400 Watt heater along with your grow light.
16 cobs
16 would be about 60% efficient Around 800 watts so Less then 60% @ 900 or a thousand.
You need the pico thats pigtailed to 18AWG i believe it is, for the vero 29. Get a few extra cause they break quite easy. Also if you invest in a hotter/ better soldering iron you wont pull the pads off like that.
So what you really want to know is the PPF of a cob at a given wattage. So check out this thread, especially post 18.
It was a thread and I think it was done by the guy from northern grow lights where he measured par the v29 at 12 inches in a 2ft by 2ft at different amps 1.4 2.1 2.8
Both Northern and Rapid were showing out of stock, emailed them both and Rapidled stood up to their name! Mike from rapid emailed me back within MINUTES! He said they should have some in about 10 days, but he was able to invoice me now so they will ship as soon as they get them. Really great service so far!
