It can run probably 3-4 12v fans, running in parallel so you get the 12v through them all, rather than in series where it splits up the current over how many fans are there

Bought 2 hlg240-2100ma dimables and 8 cxb3590s........ going to run 4 of each,
Need advice on how to cool / heatsink and powering that/passive would be nicer if affordable.
for the dimables i can just buy any 100k potentiometer and hook it up to the two wires off driver right? which would dim them frim full 2100 to approx half?

thanks in advance! im looking to finish these two lights ASAP, basically trying to make 2 efficient 240w lights i can dim to 120ws or whatever !

Could I run just 2 3590s off each 240 2100ma .. what about the 240 1400ma, whats the diff they would both be 120watts just diff amps which affect effec?... does it make that big a difference on electiric bill and heat created?

would a cpu cooler like the arctic alpine 11 be enough to cool running a 3590 at 120w?

I dont think the 3590 with the chip holder fits on the alpine 11.

Yuck you said Mouser lol. I'm in the works of finding a good source when you buy 10. I need some 700ma and 1400ma. This is my year, I was born year of the monkey and this is the year of the monkey hahahaha. I was born the same day as Bruce Lee and Jimmy Hendrix Nov 27th

But you are still with us my friend!
Why don't you buy drivers from Jerry?

Bonjour
The difference is you could put 5 cxb3590 on the 1400mA (56% efficiency) 2 @2100mA (49.7%)
I would go @1400mA for spread amd efficiency...not 2100mA...maybe 1750mA...but I aim for 1050mA and 1 cob per hs over each sq/ft (30w sq/ft) but with 1400mA driver dimed @1050mA to have 50w sq/ft so 20w in case of...!
