lol but even then you won't know if they are genuine! In order to prove they are genuine beyond reasonable doubt you will need to have Meanwell's head of electrical engineering come to your place and take all your drivers apart and personally check each and every component for authenticity. Only then will you truly know. hahahaha how people can even keep responding to that tool is beyond me.

i need help! please
im doing a 5x10x8h tent
im moving to COB, been doing my homework and i see is time.
but i see people talking about better then COB CREE CXB3590 for better price.
plus i need help for my shopping cart, to make sure i buy the rite stuff to put it together
4) HLG-320-C1050B
32) CXB3590 3500K CD BIN (8 COB for each driver)
32) SST120 Passive Heatsink (can I use SST105 Passive Heatsink?)
32) CREE 3590 LED holder, Ideal 50-2303CR
20) LED glass lens. this is for the COBs around the edge, i see they have 40 degree or 60. anyways what COB glass lens can i use on this SST heatsink? or what other heatsink can i use? i wan passive heatsinks and able to use Glass lens.
please let me know what u guys think, this is just the binning of the shopping cart.
Do everything come together good?
Thank you!! i could add pic, video, ect in the future

Cree CXB3590 COBs are not good value for money. Pretty much any of the COBs by Citizen are better value.

even at $ 35 which includes holder, thermal tape, adapter, reflector?
How would be a better configuration with Citizen to get 400w with two mw drivers, 50% minimum EFFICIENCY?
And where I find the best price? I think Jerry not work with them?

The price has come down on those lately, but they are still beaten on price and performance by the Citizen 1818 (an approximate equivalent) which you can get for $26 from Cobkits. Also you may or may not need the adapters and reflectors really... many people do better without them.
You could put 3x 1818 per HLG-240H-C1400 and get around 210W per driver for 420W total.
Sooo.... Light is running fine after a few days, so far I've gone with 200W of 3000k 3070s and 4x 54Watt 6500k HO. Is this alright for veg? or should I add blue LEDs somewhere between 400-480nm? Gunna swap the 6500k t5s for 2700k or 3000k when flowering and add more red LEDs, somewhere in the 650nm range. Possibly some more COBs too.
