Has anyone used DB or DD bin Cree CXB3590?

Hey Coolj!

1. The large cobs like CXB3070 / 3590 or Vero29 should fade the Kessil things loose.
2. If you add 12 xte's to your cobs you will lost a lot of effiency. The DD bin/36v is up to 74% eff. @700mA, but the xte's are only <50% @350mA. The more mono's you add the more decreases the efficiency!
3. If you still want to add some mono's, you should take light blue 465-485nmnm and cyan 495-515nm for a bad ass vegging light, because the cobs has more than enough royal blue(peak), but is lower on light blue/cyan range/460-520nm. But I would only add max. 2+2 to each cob.

If you really want to have kick-ass vegging light, omit the Mono's and take more Cobs 4000 / 5000K and lower current to 350-700mA.
No need to add mono's, because the 4k/5k spectrum works awesome for vegging!

whats the difference with the BIN codes in general is DD better (newer rev?) than DC DB DA, etc?

Datasheet.

DC and DA don't exist.

DD > DB > CD > CB > BD > BB > AD > AB > Z4 > Z2 ...

As Alesh pointed out, it's all in the datasheet.

seeing my post above makes me realize the astonishing amount of info ive absorbed in a few mere months

I was reading this thread and what you just said hit me. thanks more photons, not more power. I am finalizing my beg light and that just helped the most.

I wondering for vegging if youd be better with straight 5000k 3590s, or 3000k 6500k alternating... That would give more reds and blues and a little less green/yellow.... Ive got a LED strip light that is single 3w diodes with 6500k, 2700k, 660 red repeating and it works very well for growing houseplants!

Check this out: It looks like a ammo box. Good idea for an easy to modify design. That $1199 would buy a lot of COBs and drivers. This guy's design has an independent driver for each COB.

Yeah that's a bit much for that.......................$1200...........esp with prices dropping.
