CXA3050-0000-000N00W430F as a possible led choice?

AS title says I am considering buying several of these.
I know they aren't the most efficient, but if I buy 29 of them I can get them for just over $11 each.
I could run them soft since I would have so many to make up for efficiency and gain more uniform coverage.
I am still thinking about a grow space size, and drivers.
I have a local place that sells heatsinks that I can browse.

If someone wanted to get some we could split the order.
I have no need for that many, but they wont sell me less lol.

3050 is a better deal, bulk purchase though.

The 2530 datasheet lists the voltage at 36.4 at nominal current (.8 amps)
I would go for the 3050, if I could afford to buy that many.
Thanks for the technical data!

I bought some W2 3000K from Newark when they were $8.50 but decided not to mess with them. Verical has these:
CXA3050-0000-000N00W227F
60 available at $11.0632
Est. Ship Date: 11/10/2015
Fastest Delivery Date: 11/13/2015
Ships from: Netherlands
Warranty: Manufacturer
Date Code: 1321+
Minimum: 5
Increment: 1

Even dimmer than W4, maybe OK for cheap ebay drivers and surplus heatsinks.

Oh yeah saw those, but at 2700K they are dimmer. I think Ill never decide what to get.
If I had the money to spend, the choice would be clear.
Maybe I should just buy the 3590s and run them hard till I get more money and get more and change driver current then.
For the wife the bottom line seems to be electric cost since thats a bill that she pays.
I think run hard the 3590 is still more efficient than the veros 29 and the 3070 when run softer

There is something I dont understand though.
As bin increases with higher CRI, the lumens seem to decline. Is this a desirable trait?

What would be a good driver for the Vero 29 to run 3 or 4 at 2100Ma?
They seem to run higher V that the Cree chips

There are no good combinations for 3 or 4 2.1 amps from the HLG series drivers. You could run 1 each on LPC-100. 2 would fit on a HLG-185H-C2100 except there's no such thing.

When HLG-240H-C1750 is available it will run 3, but 1.75 amps not 2.1.

Vero just isn't HLG friendly.
