Then you add the shipping and they're $52 apiece....
Discount?? Are those top bin?? I'd buy that today..Well with a 6 x cxb3070 order, with shipping and discount that's 282 AUD which is 200 USD. So $34 per cob shipped.
Dude that rocks! Thank you so much!"Cutandroll" is like an 8% discount code from cutter.

That's 3500k BB bin they have other cxb3070 colors in their top bins alslendero. And holders and lenses too.
with 3070s you can run at a lower current and get about the same or better efficiency as a 3590. For the same amount of light, you will need more 3070s than 3590s. There is a pricing sweet spot in there depending on what pricing you can get.Wow! Thanks for that calculation. I just had a sense but you've clearly spelled it out.
As this is a personal grow and my usage is so light, it just doesn't make sense to go deep and get the highest end stuff but get what's adequate and will do the job.
Where did you see the 3070's at $32? I've seen $44.
I've seen that you've posted that in another thread, primarily why I decided to go with the 3070 thank you. Instead of a 4 cob fixture of 3590 which I see as being good to the minimum I'd go for my space, I figured I'd create a 6, potentially 7, cob fixture with 2, mw 1050a drivers at a lower current and that would be much better. (I don't honestly know if this is viable but I'm trying)with 3070s you can run at a lower current and get about the same or better efficiency as a 3590.

dimming is a usefull feature. I recommend the HLG meanwells, and they offer 3 different ways to do dimming.I've seen that you've posted that in another thread, primarily why I decided to go with the 3070 thank you.

Should I get dimmable drivers??
Please understand I have no idea what I'm doing and am just regurgitating what you and others have said. Let me know if I'm off track. Thanks!
Would you happen to know the best model and resource to buy the drivers?dimming is a usefull feature. I recommend the HLG meanwells, and they offer 3 different ways to do dimming.
One of meanwell HLG-185H-C1050a or HLG-185H-C700a.Would you happen to know the best model and resource to buy the drivers?
So I was gonna get two, running 3 each regardless. Do you have a recommendation on what would be the best way to go? i get the sense I don't want to over do it too much...find a sweet spot.One of meanwell HLG-185H-C1050a or HLG-185H-C700a.
I don't know that I've seen anything to suggest that 8 to 10% more lighting efficiency would equate to the same in bud production but I'm still a neophyte. That just seems like a bit of a stretch to me...am I wrong??CXB590 is more efficient than cxb3070 ie less heat, and thats your goal right?
Also 8-10% more efficient means 8-10% more bud from the same space, pays for itself in one grow I would think
There is still heat believe me, just not as much.I don't know that I've seen anything to suggest that 8 to 10% more lighting efficiency would equate to the same in bud production but I'm still a neophyte. That just seems like a bit of a stretch to me...am I wrong??
I know this might sound strange but I need a little heat in the box just not 400w worth lol.
not sure what your saying.So I was gonna get two, running 3 each regardless. Do you have a recommendation on what would be the best way to go? i get the sense I don't want to over do it too much...find a sweet spot.
That is a great tip...lol I never would've thought of that! Thanks!There is still heat believe me, just not as much.
If the heat isnt enough, I reverse the exhaust top fan to an intake and temp raises to nice level.
I am not the best grower all dialed in, but others have stated the increase directly to yield
I clearly don't know what I'm talking about so...not sure what your saying.
1 hlg-185h-700a will provide ~200 watts with 8 cxb3070s.
1 hlg-185h-1050a will provide ~200 watts with 5 cxb3070s.
In a 2.5' X 2.5', One will give you the minimum of 30 watts per square foot.
two units will max you out at 60 watts, overkill.
I can't understand it. It seems like there will always be a large percentage of the population who are enamored of change, and beguiled by dreams and visions of improvement.I can't understand it.
