Do you actually have to run them that far above plants???? If so, for heat reasons or light burn.
Quick question, I got a driver here that is Constant Voltage and not Constant Current, would this work to power 2 leds in parallel?
Thanks in advance! Peace!

Yes as long as voltage of cobs match voltage of driver.
I couldn't find again this thread.. now i foundt it
So, i've foundt this vero 29's gen 7 SE:
BXRC-30E10K0-C-7X-SE
They run at around 69v
HLG-320h-700b
With this driver i could drive 6 of them @53w
So 12 of theese and 2 drivers will be good for a 4x4ft (1.2x1.2m)
Is the math right? The alternative could be cxb3590 3500 DB 80 Cri, but it would be more expensive..

I am running them at 110 watts each. They claim they will last for years at the wattage. I would figure in a few years they will be dirtt cheap, so not that concerned in longevity. 1000 DE HPS bulbs are like $150, and need to be replaced twice a year.
I am running 10 at that wattage in a 4 X 8 tent. Will post pictures in a few days. Some of the plants are cranking, at just 2 weeks into flower.

Firstly, thanks to all that have participated in this thread, its an amazing resource for someone like myself considering changing over to cobs...
Im looking to grab one of these kits http://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut2993
though admit the biníng and temps is a bit past my understanding, as much as I have tried to research, I am still kinda lost. Any of the more savy members able to set me straight?
3000k BD Bin 90cri or 3500k CD Bin
there is also 3500k DB bin which is out of stock, would it be worth contacting them to possibly wait on more stock?
Im currently running a 1m x1m footprint under a marsii 900. Anyone able to advise me here, and possibly educate me on why?

I like the vero for running paralel so u can add on more as the budget allows, but considering the cost of heatsinks to run at 100w(assuming passive) probably cheaper to go with 8 chips
id go with a single driver(unless u want to be able to dim particular areas down/up then ofcourse teh smaller drivers.
also if paralel im going with the A version for that extra 15 watts or whatever, just coz im cheap like that
but actually im exploring DC-DC drivers now

whos built a 4+ high power cob rig setup recently?
i was on digikey and saw some 150$ megachip from citizen was like wtf 36kL at 150~ W AND A 2-4 AMP DRAW - thats crackpipe shit
