Buy this driver, meanwell HLG-185H-C1400 b. It will run 3 of your cxa3070 chips no problem, i swearShit

Damn i hope i can return these drivers because i bought 20 of themBuy this driver, meanwell HLG-185H-C1400 b. It will run 3 of your cxa3070 chips no problem, i swear
This driver outputs 71-143 volts 200.2 watts 1.4 amps ( it will run your chips a little harder than 50% but theybwill still be very cold to the touch and very efficientBuy this driver, meanwell HLG-185H-C1400 b. It will run 3 of your cxa3070 chips no problem, i swear
Oh man i hope you can too, i have made the same mistake though so i know what you are going through. I wish they told you what drivers to buy when purchasing the damn led's hahaDamn i hope i can return these drivers because i bought 20 of them

Order your driver's from jameco.com electronics store, and your chips from digikey.com and order your heatsinks from heatsinkusa.com[/QUOTE
Ive bought everything already and have built almost all of it. Now i have to return the drivers and get different onesAnd personally, i dont like cree. They tend to be difficult to find drivers for, and i feel like they dont work as well for flowering. The new decor series vero29 has a cri of 97 and the trich development of my buds is insane. But thats just my preference haha, all leds are good though, evwn the shitty chinese ones make decent grow lights
Yes. 5.2A / 3 = 1733mACould i wire it up in parallel instead of series then
But that wouldnt solve his problem bro, he needs differnt driversYes.
Could you post a picture of how you have it all wired?Ive bought everything already and have built almost all of it. Now i have to return the drivers and get different ones
I wanna make sure its done safely, these things can be a real fire hazard if wired or powerd wrongCould you post a picture of how you have it all wired?
Yes i canI wanna make sure its done safely, these things can be a real fire hazard if wired or powerd wrong
It looks good drom what i can see, just get the different drivers and you'll be in business. Just remeber that when you power them up, you can only run the chips for a few seconds without a heatsink attached or else they will overheatThis is how i wired up all my other lights. This is just for testing tho
Ok cool thanks a bunchIt looks good drom what i can see, just get the different drivers and you'll be in business. Just remeber that when you power them up, you can only run the chips for a few seconds without a heatsink attached or else they will overheat
If they are working in parallel then its a fluke, and i would be very cautious about powering them even for a small amount of time with those drivers. And if you do a little more research you will see that wiring leds in parallel usually isnt a hood idea to begin with because each chip ends up getting a different amount of voltageSo i can hook them up in parallel and they work. What do you think about hooking them up in parallel?
Ive been reading up on it and its pushing 36 volts to each cob and the total amps (5.2amps) will be divided among the cob lights. The only problem they say to look out for is thermal runaway. Why do you say it is a fluke?If they are working in parallel then its a fluke, and i would be very cautious about powering them even for a small amount of time with those drivers.
