Thank you! As usual, you raised a few more questions, lol

Such as; what's the current top bin? If they want to sell me chips that aren't the top bin, how much of a discount should I expect?

Current top bins:
CXB3590 3000K CB
CXB3590 3500K CD
CXB3590 4000K CD
CXA3590 5000K DB

I am not sure there is a price difference between Kingbrite's top bins and mid bins. I did not get the impression that there is a price difference. The way I look at it, they could tack on a premium for the top bins but so far they chose not to. There is a significant discount for the CXA series so if you can get high bin CXAs that may actually be a better choice.

Kingbrite offers $10 shipping via China Post registered. I have been getting packages that way in 5-7 business days but during the holiday seasons it could experience long delays 3-4 weeks.

Shipping drivers from China to US might not treat you well in terms of shipping cost because they are very heavy. Generally it serves to stay under the China Post epacket shipping max I think it is 2 KG. Realstyles has been experimenting with sourcing Mean Well from Asia, unsuccessfully I think. So far I don't think we can beat Sager.

Thank you for all you do here!

The plan is to do your 4 x CXB3590 @56.3% efficiency with the 200W Meanwell driver... Times twenty five. I'll use 24 in the array and keep the last for a spare in case one craps out. Yes, I have plans for the heat generated. Each one will cover 6 ft², so should be right at 824 PPfD.

I'm trying to replicate the watts I'm already pulling in the space with various HID options and see what the yield is in a direct head to head comparison with them.

You'll have to ask Jerry. Go to that link I posted and click the chat button to chat with Jerry. He's in China, I was able to chat with him instantly in the early a.m., like around 1 or 2 in the morning.

Saw an email address, but I didn't see a website link?

WTF? I just got an email from a Kevin Kung at kingbrite, telling me they don't offer Cree LED chips for sale?!
