I'm planning to build a light and would love some advice on drivers/ power supply as I am unfamiliar with optimal set up for LEDs. My plan is to go seed(or clone) to harvest in a 3'x3' tent with just this.
My parts list so far:
4x BXRC-40E10K0-L-23 (vero 29 v2, 4000K, 80 CRI)
4x Arctic Alpine 11 Plus 92mm fan
4x Mean Well LPC-100-2100
1x Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound
1x kapton tape
My main question is, is there a way to drive all for from one driver and save money? Also, how do I wire this all up so I don't need 4 wall sockets at the end? I would like to keep each light separate so that I can adjust them separately.
So far my parts list totals about $300 and I'd like to keep it there.
Thanks!
I need help!
I plan on running 2x vero 29 v2 for vegging.
is there a cheap driver that will run these both? I saw the Mean Well LPC-100-2100 but can I just run 2 of them off it and run them at 50w each?
C1400A or c1400b?HLG-120H-C1400 will power 2 at 50 watts each.
Either one. B series if you want external dimming. There's also LPC-150-1400 without dimming option but less cost.C1400A or c1400b?

Where'd you buy your reflector and how much was it? Can't find Ledil for sale anywhere!Vero 29 ,reflektor leidil,open version 95 watt .Harvested 160 grams.
Just find a generic 100W driver (around 30$) and wire the cobs in parallel. Or find 2 generic 50W drivers (around 15$). Generally, you will get higher driver efficiencies on higher powered drivers.I need help!

Rahz,Vero 29 at 2.1 is tricky for driver consolidation. HLG-185 doesn't come in 2100 flavor and HLG-240 will only power 3 at 2.1 amps.
As for one plug you can wire all the drivers to a terminal strip or better, use wago222 connectors.
Thanks for the response. Yah I saw when looking at the data sheet again that at 2.1 it's 80W. I know that too, as I have some A51 W90s. Those draw 90 total so I think that's where my mind was going. That's what happens when it's 4 in the morning and I'm far to gone while still ripping the gpen. For the life of me I couldn't come across the HLG-240-C2100.. Obviously it was right in front of me I was just too faded to see it. Thanks again.The Vero datasheets list popular drive currents and their values. At 2.1 amps they use 38 volts and draw just under 80 watts, so 3 can be wired to a HLG-240H-C2100.
