I've been inside the light each 9x18 heatsink has cooling fins about 3\4" tall & about the same width apart my Johnson cx- uses the cxb 3070 cobs but although I've never had it open I strongly suspect it has Chinese drivers , heatsinks & fans it works well but the cobs are too close to each other , I was given the viper light & am running it for heat , not seeing any better growth than my 200w CLW ss-275 that I pulled out because my lights on temps were too low , really thankful for everyone who has responded I wish I would of built lights to begin with I'm sure I'll have multiple question's as this gets up to speed I'll post everything right here with pics
I'd bet my left nut the johnson uses meanwells.

So ya, just pull the heatsinks out, mount cobs, zip tie 2 fans to the top of each heatsink, frame them together and have a dope light.

Far red uses its own driver? I would like to have that option at a later time as for the CLW ss-275 I'm gonna get a 2x2 tent &"use it to veg

Sorry for dragging my feet so long & wish to thank everyone for their input I originally had 2 of these lights & gave one away I'm now vegging with this one as it gives off a considered amount of heat I fully intend to move forward with this for my 3x3 tent with a 2x2 scrog I've ordered 6 luminous cxm22 cobs @3500k & 80 cri with thermal pads & bjp holders & picked up a 12v. Gower supply for the fans that leaves the drivers I can get the xlg-200-h-ab or the xlg-240-h ab would the 240 run 3 of theluninus cobs ??? @80w. I prefer to grow single sativa dominant hybrids in a scrog that would give me 80 w. Per cobIMG_20200204_013703.jpgIMG_20200204_013647.jpg
