Found these lights at a scrap yard

Hi guys,

I found these lights at a scrap yard and bought all 7 i could find for £20.

They all work. Very well made. Slight damage to heatsinks due to being mistreated. Plastic lenses are a bit scratched up.

Luceco LHB200W-01
Mean Well HLG240H 48A
200W 4000k

Can these be used effectively?

I'm interested in your thoughts and opinions. Thanks.

Some pics

200w is a little low. You could probably use them to supplement. They also might put out quite a bit of heat..

200 w per fixture is hardly low IMO. 1400w for that price is a steal. maybe add some reds for flowering. great for veg

Luckily they are 4000k. That is the coolest I would flower with. Since these are the A version, I would get a wattmeter and turn them down to about 100w each(maybe 150w) and run about 4 per square meter. This will improve there efficacy.

I currently have 2x600w viparspectra and I'm not too impressed.

Using a grow area of 120x120x200

@Lurker500 If you are afraid of a little wiring you could also wire 2 heat sinks to one driver. Then you have a few high quality drivers to play with.

Great advice atm, thanks.
I'm on a huge learning curve with LEDs.

hells yeah. everything looks solid, upgrade the cob chips and you'll have a state of the art rig for next to nothing

Which Cob do you recommend? Thanks

He'll of a find. I'm quite jealous of those heatsinks

on voltage id rec the luminus cxm22.

do those heatsinks have multiple holes for mounting chips? or if there are only 2 holes are the holes for the cobs that are there 35mm apart?

35mm is common spacing for many cob holders

4 small screws mounting cob. I'll drill new holes in the aluminium plate if needed.

cxm22, 3 or 4 per driver

When I saw them I thought "omg, this can't be what I think they are??" I wanted the heatsinks, the lights working was a bonus

actually i didnt realize those were so massive and one cob per driver. you want citi 1825 or luminus cxm32

citis will top out at about 160-170W and the luminus would do 210-225W each (assuming those drivers do the usual 54V max)

they may have had them turned down depending on spec of the heatsink

The heat sinks measure 9x9 inches.
They get warm but not too hot.
Thanks for the advice too.
From manufacturer specs I think is 48v max?
And they do a 54v version too.

Great find .... a little COB upgrade as stated and you are golden.

You can go with reflectors instead of lenses.

Ok so if I were to get a high power COB with a preference to flowering, suited to the above driver, which would it be?
Thanks.

And alternatively what driver/cob combo to match these heatsinks.
