Hey guys, im trying to understand about cobs, the new and what the cool guys are using. Im from brasil, and here is the place were everything is extremely expensive only enthusiast use leds...
So im studying everything as best as i can. I came across some 4 -clu48-1212 gen 5, (3 - 4000K and 1 -3500 both 90cri). Im using them on HLG 240h-54A, the only mean well driver i could find over here and im tired of chinese trash. I am using them on my veg tent ( about 7 square feet, before that 250MH and mag ballast)
Im starting to design the lights for my flower room. Its about 15 square feet, and i want to replace 1000 HPS, single ended and mag ballast( As my tropical country is extremely hot, i sent LOTS of energy with ac, in the summer outdoors is usually over 100-110 fahrenheit)
So i made an order with Cobkits, with :
1 clu48-1212 gen6, 3500k 80cri,
5 CXM 22 gen3 3000k 80cri,
some holders and reflectors,
Hlg-185h-48a.
My questions:
-With 5 clu48-1212, what driver will be better, 185h-48a or 240h-54a, any comments how i can max out the veg tent?
-Im thinking in ordering more 10 CXM 22 G3 making 15 of them. It will be a good setup?
-Want to go for a hlg 600 from mean well, what will be the best voltage 48 or 54 (with 15CXM)?
-What you think about instead 10 CXM22G3, 8 Vero29G7 52v?
-Cri, 80 or 90?
Efficiency and heat are very important, i need a lower utility bill.
As you can see, english is not my first or second language, sorry about my mistakes. Iff anyone could point me in the right direction, i want to learn more about it, some friends want to migrate to cob as well.
Tx for the time and im very happy rollitup is back online.
Soon i will making a build with a 600-48-----you will need to adj the voltage to match the amps. so 54v is to high for the cxm. but the 54 can be adj to a lower voltage. so both will work you will just be putting more watts to the one with the 240-54 then the 185--so you would be driving them harder. 12 on a 600 is like 1.2 something amps at 51ish volts per data sheet.
