The boards are the 800 FoTop's, 3500K, running off two 600H drivers and one 320 driver, the fixture is 2meters long, 96cm wide, weighs a metric ton.Nice .
Can you elaborate? Driver, drivers, board size.
Hard to say what size the fixture is.

What in the world are you going to do with that much power? I can't conceive of a space that would be appropriately sized to a fixture of those dimensions, running that much juice!The boards are the 800 FoTop's, 3500K, running off two 600H drivers and one 320 driver, the fixture is 2meters long, 96cm wide, weighs a metric ton.

A 2m x 1m area..?? LolWhat in the world are you going to do with that much power? I can't conceive of a space that would be appropriately sized to a fixture of those dimensions, running that much juice!
4x8x7 (1.2x2.4x2.05m)? In any event they're dimmableWhat in the world are you going to do with that much power? I can't conceive of a space that would be appropriately sized to a fixture of those dimensions, running that much juice!
I havnt actually wired them yet so will most likely be.Board in the middle on the 320h?
I run 2 x FOTOP Boards on the 320h but I don't have much headroom.
Damn so sick. You get those with the special deal? $368, shipped, for 2 pieces with driver and heatsinks? So about $850 for that?4x8x7 (1.2x2.4x2.05m)? In any event they're dimmable
@Moflow, yes they all contain the following heat sinks.
Or just get 6 boards at 200 watt each no heatsink should cost less and provide a bit more efficiency and should be great for a 4x8 tentDamn so sick. You get those with the special deal? $368, shipped, for 2 pieces with driver and heatsinks? So about $850 for that?
And why do you think that ?Well I honestly don't think you need that 320H in the mix, but best of luck!
Because even if we disregard the fact that Meanwells put out more juice than rated, you'll be at almost 50w per square foot. That's mighty high for LED.And why do you think that ?
Implying that I’ll be running the drivers maxed out which I won’t be. Also to be honest I was originally going to go with 6 boards but it was going to be cramped. I settled for 5 with around 12cm spacing between each.Because even if we disregard the fact that Meanwells put out more juice than rated, you'll be at almost 50w per square foot.

No offense, but why use three drivers turned down rather than two turned up? If I'm not mistaken (and I'm no expert, so I could be), those drivers don't achieve a noteworthy gain in efficiency when run low. Are you doing it to keep them cooler, extending their useful lifespan?Implying that I’ll be running the drivers maxed out which I won’t be.

In fact a driver loose efficiency when not running full/near full powerNo offense, but why use three drivers turned down rather than two turned up?

Most people using that kind of led diodes run between 550-650w in a 4x4.. there is one guy currently doing a 1000w+ grow in a 4x4 but he has all environment under control (temp, rh, nutes) and also uses CO2.. hes doing good so far but to my knowledge hes the first or one of the first to try that kind of power in that big of a space and document itNo offense taken.
The two boards split between the 600 will have them running at around 300 watts each. The single 320 will be dimmed slightly to match that output, so it’ll be 300*5. I’m really having trouble here understanding your negativity towards this ? Some people blast a 4x4 area with over 1000 watts.
With HPS or blurple, yes, but unless you're running co2, I can't imagine pounding a 4x4 with 1000 watts of LM561C. There's a reason most people here recommend 30-40 watts per sq/ft (and fewer use 40 than use 30). And honestly, it seems like a waste of a driver that could be used for another fixture in another grow space. But do your thing, man! The proof is in the plants.No offense taken.

Sure you've 7ft of headroom to play with.Thanks for the comments guys.
@Humple - I will be running c02, dehumidifer, humidifer, aircon, two fans for active intake, environmental monitoring.
