What do you know ??? Options would be really nice

I agree the marketing is an issue. I'm not certain I understood the other part of your post to be honest. My experience is that a decent commercial LED running at an Actual wattage of 400 would decisively outperform 400 hid. *edited Cob to commercial*

I think when shopping for commercial lights you can safely eliminate any LED that lists wattage significantly higher than what it draws at the wall. That's the first and biggest indication of how reputable a company is without digging too deep. They either deliberately misrepresent what they're...

I've heard pretty much nothing but great feedback about kingbrite. I wouldn't call this thread "hate" exactly. Some haters have popped in, but this thread is based on a reasonable question. I am hoping to get a clear idea of where to source a large order of 3590s and this thread popped up in...

That thing is a fucking Beast! I wish I knew I could do that with a 2x2 when I was in college. I might have even had friends....

Supra this was an incredibly helpful way of describing the efficiency difference. Thank you so much. I'm having trouble sourcing my 3590s and almost went went top bin cxb3070 to save time and hassle. My cxa3070s have been kicking ass, but the efficiency jump should be insane with cxb3590. SO...

This looks pretty Epic so far! How many COBs can you run on those monster drivers?

I was thinking that, too. It looks like there used to be something written in the spot that should say "B3590"

Would you recommend rewiring the ground that way if it's already being run to the wall ground? Or just do it that way in future builds and leave the existing ones? How big of a difference is there?

You can't expect it to go smoothly if you publicly question the integrity of the distributor without testing the COBs first. That being said, I'm very interested to find out what happened.

Also, one thing that I've noticed while using my lights in real life (intoxicated) situations is that the Ideal 3x1 wire connectors aren't exactly stable. If jostled while moving or pulled as you get further from where the cord comes inside the tent, the connections have pulled loose on me...

Well, that is what I've done for all of mine, but I read Greengene's post and freaked out. AM I SAFE???

Any chance we could get a grounding tutorial? People are using the 200 watt mean wells standard in their builds. If there's a way to avoid danger let's get it out there.

By the way, great thread! I'll be on the edge of my seat over here.

Can someone explain the grounding in more detail please? I'm running several meanwell hlg 185 drivers, and all I did was wire the ground (green wire) into my three prong power plug. I think we could all benefit from a better understanding of the safety measures.

Isn't it possible to test them yourself very easily? That should clear this up. I'm about to order a massive amount and would like to hear what happens
