More Chips less power?

Dear growers, can you advise can I plug 6 pieces of Citizen 1216 to MeanWell HLG-185H-C1400B Driver (Constant Current). Sorry for a dump question but I am a TOTAL noob in fysics so dont junge me hard :). Thanks for all help.

If you already have that driver you could get a elg-100-c1400 for the other 2.

Or get a hlg-320h-c1400 if your using ideal holders or hlg-320h-36a if you're using bjb holders or plan on adding more cobs later.
 
sure but they wont light up ;)

maximum 4 before you run out of driver voltage

I do also have HLG-320H-48B but it does says 48V output, does it mean that 1226 does not fit at all?

I read from the description on cobkits.com that 48A driver, also works with 36V COBs like CLU048-1212 or CXB3590 at reduced total power output. What does the reduced total power output mean?

i stand corrected. the Hlg-320-48a will work. Should of looked at data sheet closer. it will turn down to 24v if need be.

The driver will operate in constant current mode if you use 36V parallel cobs on a 48A driver. Power = Volts times Current. Decrease the voltage and the power follows.
 
If i run 3 citi 1212 36v cobs on my meanwel hlg 240 -1750 instead of the max 4 cobs, will it run at lower amps from the wall than if i were running 4 cobs?
