Are you using holders?

Which driver and how many cobs are you using?

Was thinking hlg185-c1400a or hlg185-c1400b.. Not sure whats the difference can you tell me? And 2 drivers with 4 cobs on each
The thing I am confused about is the b driver looks like it has 2 cords coming out of one side and not sure which type or wire to use to wire the cobs

Not a good electrician lol most I did was make an extension cord lol

The B is dimmable.

Is that what the extra cord is for and is it wired differently?

If you don't feel like dimming, you leave the wires alone. If they cost the same, just get the B.

The A version is also dimmable, with the pot (knob) on the body of the driver.
The B version is dimmable with an external pot - yes that's what the extra wire is for.
