Like the title says I need help with these cobs that I am wiring. I thought I got everything wired up correctly but when I went and plugged it all in, Nothing.
This is what I'm working with...
HLG-320H-C1400B Driver
6- CXB3590 COB 36v- 3500K sets with thermal tape
SST140 Passive Heatsinks
Ideal 50-2303CR
Ideal 50-2300AN
100k potentiometer
18 gauge wire between all of the cobs that go to a DC barrel connector
16 gauge wire from the driver to the other side of the barrel connector to the driver

I know the driver and potentiometer are wired up correctly because when I plugged it in and turned the dial I could hear the driver working.

Let me know what you guys think. I would really like to get this thing finished so I can proceed with other parts of this project.

when i have problems.
step 1: remove the pot, if still not working, then
step 2; multimeter, dc volts, check leads on DC out of driver(red/blk), if you have a voltage, in this case 216v -ish, & still not working, then
step 3; remove quick connects, barrel connectors etc.
step 4: check AC side connections to make sure power is getting into the driver
step 5; still not working, return driver, quit, or kill myself.
