My first post here,so here goes... I will be getting some cxb3590's soon. 4@3500k(36v) and 4@3000k(36v).What will be the best BIN's to buy for those 2 spectrums? I want 2 drivers and have been adviced by RapedLED to get 2 Mean Well HLG-240H-C1400B. Will this be a good driver for running 4 cobs or do you recommend something else? I am in the UK and have only been looking at RapidLED and Cutter Electronics. On cutter there is a back order and I dont really want to wait. I also contacted Jerry from KingBrite Electronics Co., Ltd today ,but I am still waiting on him to come back to me. Are they any good?Any other places I can look for the cobs and heatsinks(best BIN please). Bit of a noob here in regards with the cobs as I only ever used hps. I got 10 UGORG Disco Biscuits beans waiting,but want my cobs running first. Looking forward to any advice! ta

Hey guys I was just doing some math and can’t quite decide if this will work...

Meanwell HLG-320H-C1400B
6 x Vero 29 BXRC-30E10K0-D-73 (https://www.digikey.ca/products/en?mpart=BXRC-30E10K0-D-73&v=976)

Any advice would be great.

Cheers

I can't believe that website you listed has a lot of the chips obsolete I really would not buy from her personally I would just get from rabbit led because they're chips or the same from what I can see top bin and they're only like $25 plus shipping. I like tham. Have you heard up citizen led clu48 1216. Thete like cheeper ther 160wat. And 36volts. And 2.4 amp sweet spot or it the max not shore but i like to get just to see my self




Here is shit i got its good

I got this driver for 27cash new 320watt in box 2800mah. 118volts its ok i pay 27cash. Hes got a 150watt 1750mah 20cash not bad but i need to i think of 20cash ones so i seid fuckit now i get me some bords 3 bords mabey to sunbords

Thanks for the advice, I’ve always ordered off of digikey and had no problems. I am also in Canada, so that affects my buys a lot, those prices were in Canadian dollars. I’ve also always used Vero’s and have no reason to move away from them, especially if it’s only a couple bucks in savings.

Thank you for confirming this set up will work, cheers and have a good one folks.

I'll be ordering my gear from KingBrite in a day or two and need a conformation for my setup from someone. I think I have this figured out but better safe the sorry ;)

Will HLG-480h-c1400B accomodate 10x cxb3590 run at 1050mA ? In theory cobs run at this current are shy under 34V and this driver is maxing out at 343V


Second question.
What will happen if I exceed that max ? I mean, will it damage the components or just wont light up the cobs ?

Many thanks

That driver is designed to operate at 1400 mA-that is what it will push through the arrays. I suppose that if it was dimmed to that drive current it will have sufficient voltage to run your string. Just be aware that it may run out of voltage at 1400.

Got a driver with an output minimum of 230 volts. If my led string is only adds up to 216 volts, do you think it will work?

I have got a cheep 10watt chip and driver in the pic it just getting too high with the I'm thinking if I put a buck and better or a boost inverter and between the power supply and the 10 watt see you be chip do you think the power supply will get as hot as its getting now I'm about to just go ahead and buy a cheap driver
