MeanWell HLG-320H-36B Driver​

Max current: 8.9A can power 36V COBs at the following approximate wattage (actual wattage varies slightly by particular chip -please note driver has a hard limit of 36V and cannot drive CXB3590 above 2.1A. CXB3070 above 1.6A, CLU048-1212 above 1.2A, or Vero29-D above 1.3A):
5@1.78A (~64W ea) (CXB3590)
6@1.48A (~52W ea) (CXB 3590, CXB3070)
8@1.11A (~40W ea) (CXB 3590, CXB3070, CLU048-1212, Vero29-D)
10@0.89A (~30W ea) (CXB 3590, CXB3070, CLU048-1212, Vero29-D)

My cob are the CLU048 12-12

I read it as If I try and run less than 8. They will be at the same 1.2 amps as the 8. only doing 40 watts. not 48 watts at 6 or 75 watts at 4
Am I missing something. And Sorry for the Questions. But Thanks for Being Here.

Ya I'm reading the same thing...

So stay with what you got....

 

[woodhippy]

So I got a email from the place I am buying from. He recommended

MEAN WELL HLG-185H-C1400B​

Wiring the lights in series.
Any thoughts on this.

 

[Capt's Farm]

You may want to think about it..
The Only thing is your not putting all the cobs in 1 unit...

 

[horribleherk]

That's who Inspired me.

Most of the time it's cheaper to double up on smaller drivers than to purchase a single large one my 2 240w. drivers list for about $50 each where a single 480w. driver I think cost more I'm wanting to build a 600w. light using four 150w. drivers , meanwhile I'm getting ready to kick off another round with the one I built

 

[woodhippy]

Got some light parts in. Made a little progress. With changes thanks to @Capt's Farm .
Going to be the 4 cobs and a hlg 185h c1400b Driver.

Had a Problem with the led Holders for the cob project. New Holders in route.
Another pack I forgot about and my Other Hobby Radio

That driver will blast 200w.

It going to be split by 4 so it's only 50w a cob..and he said there rated at 100w but they say they run the best at 50w...

 

[woodhippy]

OK I have a confession to make. I Bought More Beans. In my defense. I asked for. OK OK I got what I wanted. Orange Julius f2 from you know who.

This is the same light I built with the exact same components.
The HLG 185H-c1400B is a great dimmable driver. I have it at 50W per cob paired with the (4) Citi 1212's in series and it cranks!
I had a pot on mine, but took it off because I found I always had it wide open and the pot reduces the max output of the driver by probably 10% even when all the way up vs no pot at all.
