I do have more than I need right now, had to buy a batch of 20. I already put some on Ebay, or if you want to PM me here on rollitup we could try to set up something directly.the 3590 is beast if you get some I would buy some off you.
Hey Mike, any chance you could link to the ebay listing? Looks like an amazing COBYes, mine are CD bin, which is the 13,320 lumen. Actually 13,320 is at 1200mA. Since the Meanwell is driving the chip
at 1400mA it's output is closer to 15,000 lumen.
Sure, here is the link: (Not sure how to get a link to paste in down here, see above)Hey Mike, any chance you could link to the ebay listing? Looks like an amazing COB
I'm using the Meanwell HLG-120H-C. I think I paid $65 from Jameco.Wow those are some rare chips! Here is how the CXA3590 CD bin (top bin) compares to the only 5000K CXA3070 bin currently available Z4 (lowest bin).

If you are going for efficiency, at 350mA they are 58.7% efficient! If you are going for brute force, at 1.4A they put out 14640 lumens minimum and dissipate 112W at 40.4% efficiency.
The trouble is, what reasonably priced drivers do we have that can drive these? 69vF at 350mA, 80vF at 1.4A.
Interesting, this ties out pretty well with Cree's Product Characterization Tool. I wanted to use 1700mA, but I could not find a suitable driver.

I am wondering about quality of light now over quantity. I was looking at the datasheet for the 3590 and noticed they have a 95 CRI 2700k in the Z2 performance group!! That is huge!I've been looking at CREE's new additions to its CXA line, and they are only offered in quantities of 100 at this point.. $50-60 per chip that's like 5-6k. I don't know about you all, but I can't put to use 100 chips especially at that price. Have y'all ever done a group order to split up large minimum orders?
The CD 5000K that I have seem ideal for veg growth. I definitely want to get my hands on a couple of Z2 chips as well for the red spectrum. If you end up buying some, I would be interested in at least two of them. Should be able to get 10,000 lumens of good red spectrum out of a Z2:I am wondering about quality of light now over quantity.

Tell me what you think! I would be willing to go in with people to buy this lamp and split it
