To clarify; I'm in the U.S. using 120v AC on either 15 or 20 amp breaker (can't remember, I'll have to check when I get home).

Can anyone explain this to me? For my build I went with 6x Meanwell APC-35-1050 rather than going with a smaller amount of bigger drivers for my 6x vero 18s. I didn't realize Inrush Current was a thing and I'm seeing on the PDF for the apc-35-1050 that it has "COLD START 45A(twidth=490 s...

I'll keep this in mind when I add more LEDs

All I see is red, white, n blue sexiness... How does the 4.85" heatsink hold up? It was very tempting to me due to price but I have heard supra and others mention the base plate is too thin to run more than some veg lights.. Though I dont k ow if that is a theoretical situation or from...

Lower current means more cob and drivers and heatsink to buy and I'm on a limited budget. Also, regarding the driver, I like it but the single point of failure and running that many volts on a string of LEDs scares me somewhat? Not sure if it is rational fear or paranoia though.

That's a great idea, however I have a confession, I had a few drinks, felt Impulsive and made my order already. I was afraid of 1 big driver in case the driver fails and also the high voltage associated with it so I ordered the mean well APC I linked above. I already have the 150 watt Hps, so...

Would like some thoughts on a build EDIT: went with 6x vero 18s @1050ma at 4000k on mean well driver below on 2x 22 inches of 5.886 hsusa heatsink. Wish me luck boys. 1. Which would be best? 6x vero 18 @ 1050ma 31 watts). Vs 4x vero 29 @ 1400ma (50ish watts) The vero 18s would be a bit...

Have a few questions and was hoping you all could help me. I'm wanting to build some cobs for a flowering room. I would likely start with a pair Vero 18s @1.4-1.5 amps (about ~44 watts a peice @ 125 lumens/watt. If I like how they act, I would likely look in to running Vero 29s at the same...

Wow. I feel dumb. Didnt realize that option was available. just confirmed on digikey. Thanks! Also, The more I think about it, the more I think a Wire terminal strip might be neater than quick disconnecs.

I would love to combine pico ezmate connectors with some quick slide or bullet crimp disconnects to make swapping out drivers relatively easy. The quick solide or bullets come in 18-22 gauge or 14-16 guage. The pico appears to be 28, and not sure about the wires on the led driver or power...

Nice! How many watts you running each vero 29 at?

What were your yields like with the mars vs the cob lights?
