Any problems using HLG-240h-C1750 to run 4 CXB3590's @ 36v?

Would there be an advantage to running three of these for 12x 36v 3590s vs running them at 1400ma? I always feel like it's better to have the reserve power, I'd prefer to run these dimmed to 1400ma rather than a 1400ma driver at 100%. Does that sound logical?

No problem at all bro. I'm running 20 cxb 3590 3500k with 5 hlg 240-1750 dimmed down a little but I have ran them full power with no issues. The drivers will get hot as a mofo on full power.

Your thinking just like me buddy. I'd rather have the power and not need it than need the power and not have it. Get u some 240-1750s and call it a day. Oh yeah and some dimmers.

I'm running at 1400. I wish I woulda got the 1750. Just to have more power on tap. Biggest problem with COBs is all the trimming you have to do, cuz they grow a shit ton of Cannabis!
