So I currently have my 3x vero 29 [email protected] amps, 51v on a hlg-240h-c1400b driver and I am planning on trying something for the future. First I want to add one 68v chip to the middle along with my 51v vero's. This should bring me closer to the max for the driver while being able to maximize one additional color temp.
So I was thinking of making that 68v chip switchable with a 2700k (or even 1750k now?) and a 5000k chip. 5000k for veg with the 2700k/1750k for flower with a switch to only use one or the other.
Is this a good/bad idea? The 68v chip will produce more heat and may have to be further away, so is it bad to mix intensities like that? Also the switching color temp for veg/flower worth?
Only reason I'm asking is because I want to add an additional 3x cobs and get rid of the supplemental blurple light I'm using. I would buy 1 more 3500k@51v, 2 2700k@68v, and 2 5000k@68v with that setup. That or I just buy 3 more 3500k's@51v and not even bother with the 68v chip.
