3590 retirement present

[dandyrandy]

Well after many years I am retiring this spring. I just ordered 2 40" x 10" heatsinks. Cobs and drivers next. Going to run 8 on each sink. Looking for ~40 w each to replace my trusty Vero setup. I will do a coolhood design like I am using now. More to come. Pictures will be included. In 4 months I will be retired and building my new lights!

My thanks go out to all of the hard work these led gurus have done. Can't name you all. No need too.

Now 3500 or 4000.

 

[Maine_Coast]

I was thinking of doing both. Something like this for your setup. Seems like the best of both?

..[3500]........

........[4000]..

..[3500]........

........[4000]..

..[3500]........

........[4000]..

..[3500]........

........[4000]..

Sounds like a plan. I want to reverse the pattern on the other rail so the corners will be lit well. I like it.

GREAT looking build that

 

[dandyrandy]

It appears to work. Had a calmag issue on one.

The COBs look pretty close, you could have gotten a much better spread with 4 narrower heat sinks with that many COBs! or maybe placing your COBs closer to the edge?
