OK I think I can answer that. You want to be using 100% of your voltage to maximize efficiency. Unused votage= >light and <heat.and now that you understand that, go start at the beginning of this thread.

it should be fairly obvious how that spreadsheet at the beginning was derived. just remember when the spreadsheet shows 6.1 or 6.3 or 6.8 allowable cobs per driver - its still 6....if you can answer the question of why 6.1 is more ideal than 6.9 than you really have a good understanding of whats going on there
