    water cooled COBs

    just a couple of things... Blue =/= Ultraviolet-B UVB leds cost many thousands of dollars each. Back to topic, while I am always excited to see watercooled LED, i have _never_ seen one reach completion here - either because they dont bother or because they realise that air cooling is...

    14w LED - Good For Nothing???

    he didnt mean it to be directed at you Also while XT-Es are wicked and make up half of my array, i wouldnt say they were the exclusive "best"... OSLON SSL whites for example also have really good spectral distribution (like XTE but a few nm towards red) and iirc same radiometric efficiency...

    Any driver with correct output current and a max voltage that is higher than what you are using will work, post a closeup of the label or the specs to know the amperage and we can help you find a suitable driver. Main concern will be that it fits neatly in the case, or you could go crazy and...
