That's where I'm getting a little lost! I know I loose forward voltage the more cobs. What do you mean by 6 would be 400v? Would using the hlg 480 or 600 be less efficient than the 185? If so how much more would it be saving and would it be noticeable difference between them if 24 cobs were running?
Wont work. Hlg600 dont go over 54V, Vero C is 68V.
I wouldnt look at the efficiency of the driver too much with cobs as chasing efficiency is easier with strips/boards they are all 93-95% anyway.
all the recs are on point
So the SE version is rated for more volts? If using the regular Vero 29 c version how many can be ran in series before overloading the holder? I can't find a rating for the built in holder!
He said 500v on the SE. Which is the built in holder.
The Se and regular vero29 both have built in holders! The Se has poke in connection and the regular has Molex plug or soder!! I know the Molex connectors are not rated to run in series. I need to know the voltage rating of the holder of the regular vero29 c if using the solder connections!
@welight is that 300v rating for the Pico connectors or holders? And if I solder instead of using the Molex would the rating still be the Same! Just trying to decide between Vero c or Vero c se and why is the poke in version cheaper than the regular one on some sites and other sites the regular is cheaper!! If it was you buying what Vero c and what driver would you choose to drive them in series on cc driver on how many? Thanks for the help
Vero's are one of the better COBs to run at higher amperages than some of the others
Yes I run the timber Vero 29 at 1400ma x4 the square 125mm sinks which get a little warm to the touch when at full 400w. That's why I bought these sinks as they seem to work very well, And I do have fans blowing for circulating and making strong branches. Also thought of throwing in a couple (4-6)1700k temp but haven't found any good info on if it worth it!!
1700K is just mega heavy in red. 4 out of 24 of them isn't a bad idea.
