Driver for 2 Vero 29s

What would be the best driver to drive 2 vero 29s to dissipate roughly 60 watts a piece? and would 24in of the 5.88in heatsinkusa heatsink with active cooling be enough for that?

- " Best" from MeanWell for the job is :

HLG-120H-C1400A ( 54~108V, 700~1400mA)

- Cooling seems adequate .

Cheers.

and also my last question is how does wiring the 2 veros in series work using the molex connectors?

Something like this.

The HLG-120H-C1400 would push them to about 51W ea. You could use these 2.23A drivers to get them up to about 86W ea but not dimmable. Another option you could use HLG-185H-C1400 to run 3 Vero29s at 51W each.

24" of the 3.5" profile would be sufficient for active cooling a pair of Vero29 @ 60W and would give you good spread.

Good luck with your design!

Thank you that saves about 20$ on unneccesary heatsink for me so far i have collected 2 vero 29s http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=167699046&uq=635610725734641436&CSRT=8993823806472905631
and just ordered the 3.5" profile from heatsinks usa and a usb powered computer fan and the hlf-120h-c1400 and i plan to mount them with pk3 either tonight or on sunday,
Thank you for your help SupraSPL, alesh, and Stardustsailor I would never be at this point were it not for your help and expertise

There's no such thing as unnecessary heat sink.

would it be possible for the third cob, if i were to do it with 3 and the HLG-185 to be the 5k variant? or are they not able to be run in the same series?

Yep you can mix and match. You can add a bypass wire with a switch and click one off anytime you need to/want to.

Then that option is perfect, this light is only for a 1.5'x3' tent so 153w of light comes out to 34w/sqft which is almost more than i need for that space

with this high of a voltage is it necessary to run an extra ground wire to the heatsink?

Like split if off of the husky extension cord that i used with a wago before it also goes into the driver?

Yea I think it is a good precaution to take to ground the heatsinks and you can tie in with the ground from the AC side.

Perfect for one cxb 3070 for the middle instead of another vero?

can i use the wago 222 connectors for the molex to molex connector or does that need to be a soldered connection?

as long as the wires are thick enough to get a good grip, no problem, it's better than soldering... they're good for like 400V and 32A... ** they appear to be good down to 28 AWG, which are those teensy little hairs in cheapo USB cables. So thumbs up.
