dawg what do you like about the inventronics over the meanwell 320/2100.

looks like the same spec + $50

That's the programmable version. I use the regular version

EUC-320S210DT and it's $112 or less depending on how many you buy.
I'm using mean well version and this version. It does run cooler than mean well and it also pulls about 20 more watts from the wall 350 vs 330. This is using Gen 6 though...

Anyone know if it will work the same running 4x 3000k Vero 29 Gen 7? I know they use up a little more forward voltage but believe they should work.

Datasheet showing a little bit more forward voltage necessary is why I ask 38.7 vs 38.0
Driver says 152. 38 x 4 =152. 38.7 x 4 = 154.8

Dont know what datasheet youre looking at, but the typical voltage for a 29D @2.1a is 37.6v

The official data sheet off digikey and future electronics

"BXRC-30E10K0-D-7X 3000 80 2100 12597 11250 38.7 81.3 155"

Are we talking the same 29D?

Edit: Realized they are using a older datasheet than what's posted on Bridgelux site. You are correct in the 37.6

Yep That's The Ticket. I Have A 320 1400mA Inventronics Driver Just Waiting For Me To buy Some 50 Volt Gen 7's :hump:

Now If You really Want To Be Bobs Uncle You Could Get The 72 Volt Gen 7's And Get A Pair Of HLG 185 1400mA And Run 2 Gen 7's. That Way You Could Have A 4 Cobs Setup Running 420 Watts :weed:

Hey Guys - I'm hoping you can give me some assistance. I'm looking to build a COB fixture using 6 - Gen 7 Vero 29's (50.7v). Will the Meanwell HLG-320H-C700B be an appropriate driver for this application? It will be used for a flowering area about 3' x 2.5' and eventually expanded to 3' x 5.5'. Will add a second fixture in the future.

Running The 50v Vero 29 Gen 7 On A 700 mA Driver Is Going To Produce About 40 Watts. So To Run 6 On A HLG-240- 700mA Would Be A Better Fit. Now Keep In Mind That My Beloved Vero's Love To Be Ran Hard And A Better Fit Would Be Running 4 Gen 7's On A HLG-320-1400mA :hump:

how do you actually calculate the watts used? i have 4 36 volt gen 7's @ 2100 ma

Dawg - Thanks for the info. Can you explain why 6 on an HLG-240-700ma would be better than the HLG-320? Is it just the initial cost-savings between the two drivers? Or is the HLG-320 too much driver for the 6 Veros?

Yea Their Is But I Cant Find It. Brother I Know That The 36 Volt Ran On A 2100mA Driver Produces Between 86 and 91 Watts Per Cob Depending On Which Hlg320-2100 I Use. My Inventronics Drivers Are 86 Watts Across The Board. I Know This Cause I Use A Killa Watt Meter To Verify My Results.

Yes The 320 Is A Tad Too Much. The 50 Volt Ran On A 1400mA Driver Should Produce Between 86-91 Watts So On A 700Ma Driver Your Wattage Should Be Between 43-45 Watts That 258-270 Watts. So The 320 Is Too much And The 240 Is A Better Fit. In My Research I Also Found Out That These Driver Like To Be Maxed Out Rather Than Under Driven. I Have ordered Some 4000k 50 Volt Gen 7's My Damn Self And I Have An Inventronics 320-1400 To Run Them So In A Few Days I Can Report Back With Verified Numbers From My Kill A Watt Meter

Thanks again Dawg. This should save me about $30 on the cost of the driver.
