It's 455watts from the wall and no not yet but I will start sometime this year.

Nice, let me know when you do. I would be interested in one.

I'm starting a build as well 12 CXB3590 3 of those exact meanwells
gonna do bars use some recycle parts
retire my mars collection

Yeah
that great work REALSTYLES 
I'm starting a similar project for the first time led (I have little experience), I read a lot and this will be my scheme
X8 CREE CXB3590 3500K CD (dim them to 350ma in first time)
x8 Holder with connector Ideal
x8 Glass lens 100mm 80degree
X2 HLG_185H_C700A
heatsink , see the best cost =/
x1 Coolermaster Fan MegaFlow (have get)
I want to cover a space of 40x40x80" ,checking the availability of these products and tell them how it will
I will be very grateful for any comments or additional aid

[/FONT]I advise you to take the versions CXB from 36v, and two driver main well hlg 240h c1750B so you can take advantage of a range more 'wide and upgradeable exploiting the possibilities' of dimming from 25w to 250w via linear potentiometer on each
40x40 is too small for the setup exposed before this setup( 8 cxb3590 CD 3500k 36v , 2 hlg 240H C 1740B) il good to 120x60 from 120x90

That is the wrong advice. Running them like that lowers efficiency he wants to be able to dim with a screwdriver on the built in potentiometer. Have you done this setup yet or are you telling him to do it because you want one like that?

the CXB 3590 3500k CD bin 36v led @ 1750mA, it maintains an efficiency of just over 51%, and being able to dim down the efficiency improves up to 56% @ 1400 and 64%@ 700ma
P.S. sorry for my bad english
This will be my first DIY LED

il vostro inglese non è male. Io sono solo super- reattiva oltre a cose
hi, I'm ok with the supplier and the final touches to purchase the products, but do not stay clear of the recoemdacion toretto
As you indicate the efficiency of these cob is approximately 64% 700mA. , the driver has the option of an internal dimer 300 ~ 700mA, only that they would be working to 72v or am I wrong?
to work to 36v, would have to connect all the same driver and the internal dimer Set A ~ 300th?
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my bad English too

@sinbierto
The driver version "A" is dimmable by screw and dims 100-50%, so the 700mA driver goes from 350-700mA.
This means if you have a 36V cob setup, they will work on 12,5-25W each.
If you have 72V cobs, they will work on 25-50W each with this driver.
If you ask me less than 25W for cob is not enough for good penetretion(intensity) and can be used for high efficency scrog setup and vegging, not for stretchy plants. Because of this I use the 1400mA driver for 36V cobs and have them on 50W each, massive difference compared to the dimmed @25W.
Sometimes I wish to have more current and drive them on 60W or more, it's maybe gonna happen the next build, who knows.

Of course, if the driver settings to 700mA at 72V (only 4CobsxDriver) can get 50Wx cob.
as you say a driver HLG-240H-C1400 in 1400mA 36v settings (all on the same drive cob) is obtained the same
but what is the real difference between these two configurations, only energy efficiency?
thank you for your answers
Which two configurations you mean? Light output at 25 and 50W or the other driver?
Only difference I see is total power of the 240H-C1400 driver, which consumes 250W, so good for up to 5 cobs of 36V(5x 50W).
The lower Watts per cob increases efficency of course, but remain same for 36 or 72V if they have same watts.
If I would be building a light now, I'd get the C1750 or C2100 drivers for my 36V cobs, I prefer higher light intensity over top electrical efficency.
