You'll only need heatsinks if you choose to run them hard. Most people run strips at low to moderate currents so that they can keep the lights real close to the plants while providing an even spread. You can also crank those fuckers up provided the lamp sits further from the canopy. You'll sacrifice some efficiency for total output but that's the name of this game. HLG lamps are a good example of the latter - they stuff lots of leds into a more compact space, crank out some high-ish numbers, and sit them 16" + from the canopy for an even spread - nobody would argue that HLG's are inefficient though. On the contrary, you can space out strips, have them run at nominal or less currents, and have them hovering over the plant canopy by 6-8" heatsink free. H-influx have a thermal advantage here with their aluminum backing.
Those drivers should only be $220CDN.
If you use 5 4ft strips per fixture on a 600w driver, they're all getting 120watts each.
These are 2' strips that only handle Max 1600milliamps. 46V.
Thanks, I will actually be buying enough strips and drivers to build 2 of these Or I will buy 2 of the timber fattys or 4 of the 4vls
Fatty's as in the CXB3590 900w cob fixtures? They're like 1700USD..
There are considerably cheaper driver options if you're willing to have either more of them, or .more open less bulletproof cased one

Well, side to side, they'll all be as big as the one 600. Lol that thing is Massive.
No, h-influx and q-series are the crown holders, they both use LM301B diodes
ya they seem like very nice kits
i live in the highest price power country in the world my mate refitted his whole grow room with leds only saved 83.80$ off his power bill from hps to led and now his out of pocket cant sell his lights and losing about a pound every 3 months
