ok i have two vero 18 cobs, two arctic alpine 11 plus coolers and two lpc-60-1400 drivers. i was told i was going at it wrong and they would drove pretty hard with lumen lose. this is where i get lost. if i understand right the higher the amps the softer the leds are drove? is this correct? so the lpc-60-1750 or the lpc-60-2100 (not saying they the best drivers) would have been the better choice or are they still too hot? it would be cheaper for me to buy another set of drivers then to buy two 29's and new heat sinks at the moment. sorry for the questions but i can't seem to find what i'm looking for in the search. thanks in advance.

The Higher The Amps The Harder Your Driving Your Cob. With Your Vero18's Running Them At 1400mA Will Produce About 40-45 Watts. So Your Good With The Drivers You Have :peace:

If You Want To Drive Them Harder The 2100mA Driver Will Produce About 65 Watts. Your Artic 11 Heat Sink's Can Handel It.
