Sweet ass build. Care to share the build out plans???

Sure its 12 cxb 3590 running at 1400 ma 3500k cd bin and meanwell hlg 185h c1400b drivers. Its pulling a little over 600 watts and it KILLS a 4×5 space

 

[Djloud]

Also i got 3 100k potentiometers for dimmers to dim each string individually cause i run multiple strains some are light sensitive some are not so i have complete control

Kewl such a awesome build

Lol 8 would be plenty in that space, lol

Thanks for stating this as I have been thinking of a way to dim all together, but this makes a lot more sense......

Lol i like to go all out

Yea it works well if u run multiple strains. U can dim down some without depriving the light hungry plants

I was under the impression that you can only run 5 cxb3950s at 36 volts per cob. That's what I seen on the spreadsheet that's posted? Are you running them at forward voltage of 36 volts??

Lol i like to go all out

I'm putting together a 12 COB for a 4X4 too

 

[ttystikk]

Lol. Go big or go home.

So I went home. Then I went big.

5 per "Cob"? You mean driver?

 

[Lopez7808]

5 cob to one driver

 

[Airwalker16]

5 cob to one driver

It ALL DEPENDS brutha. 700ma drivers can run far more than say a 1400, 1750, or 2100ma one.

I am asking how is he driving 6 cobs on a 1400. When the spec sheet say you can run 5. I want to know how is he running 12 cobs on 2 1400s. I would like to know

Because the forward voltage is 36 @ 2800ma. Lower currents are lower fV's.

 

[Airwalker16]

But I think he's using 3 HLG185H-C1400B drivers. Not 2. The hlg240h-c1400b can run more.
