110watt at 2100 MA at 100% I'm running about 85%
That's awesome! I wanted to run my 36V @2100, but I was a little nervous about heat and figured over 400w would just be ridiculous for my small space. I'm gonna push them @1400 for about 300 watts over 6.5 square ft. I may have to dim a bit as well

yes I decided to use 2 100ohm Pots So I could control each side/driver,. and I like the dimming feature.. i feel like i need to solder in a resisters but i didn't.. those bridglux can just take it!!

I'm not going to use a resistor either. I don't plan on going much less than 70%, and that's only when I'm checking on them or trying to grab some pics

Bubz23!!!!

i am waiting on my 6 1825s they are due to be shipped today is what he said...

i want to ask you ... What Driver are you using to get that output on your cobs?

i have really been struggling to get my brain around the drivers and i just seem to be getting greek in reply to my questions....

i think i will be under driven with what i ordered. which is this:
HLG-185H-48A got 3 of them coming and 6 1825 3500Ks want to run 2 cobs to a driver

i am guessing with 2 1825's on it the max output is 100 watts per cob for equivalent of 200 watts per driver for the pair of 1825s.

what driver gets you 160W each???

please let me know

Thanks !
.
I'm running 4 clu058-1825 with Two hlg-240h-c2100b pulls 580w at wall those drivers put out 290w each sst-x sinks

So... second round with the COBs and with this strain (Romulan). They're 17 days from flip today and just showed trichs. Showed pistils after 10.

My last run didn't do well. I locked em out with salt build up from messing with schedule. That ain't happenin this time...lol I think I might even flush them a little with some RO to protect against the fn salt.

Well i got me my cobs finally!!!

i ordered 6 of the cobkits 058 1825 3500K 80 cri engine....

i believe i may have gotten the last ones he sold like that but not sure as they are still listed on his site.
had to do some wiring but it was fun and in the end i now have 2 of my 3 sets of 2 lights to a driver i am told they are shining at approx 110 watts each ... so i am sharing a grow with one of my buddies... we have a grow in process some Autos... his light is a 400 watt ceramic halide , and so when i got the first set of 2 wired and working, i took em over and we hung them right above a auto GDP which is responding well to the new light ... the leaves were facing off to it... the other plants too seem happy... the halide was doing OK but now with the new Cobs shining they are much happier.... so am I!

I dont have a comparison of with and without the cobs but i can post a photo of some of the happy campers in the tent!

Here is my Auto Granddaddy purple. shes 8 weeks old she s been grown under a 400 watt ceramic Halide but now is basking in the light of one of my new 1825 3500K COBS patience is damned hard now...
Auto GDP 8 weeks old top.jpg


this shot here shows a lower stem bud that has been benefiting from the new light in a darker corner of the tent mmmmm sugar coated auto gdp 8 weeks smaller side budZ.jpg


This last one is an auto Black cream she got started after my second GDP seed failed. shes just 4 weeks old since germination. shes standing 36 inches tall and filling out nice, shes going to be a real treat and she is loving the new addition of the cob light thats hanging close between her and the GDP in the tentAuto Black cream 4 weeks old.jpg
