Yeah he made these to my specs and was very patient while i changed my mind about 5 times lol.
So question for anyone who wants to chime in.im leaning towards 1 foot on center for my cob spacing,looking at 5 cobs on a 4 foot rail with the end lights pushed as far out as possible. Does anyone here run them wider apart like 16 or 18 inches? And these will be mostly 3590 running @1050ma so just 36ish watts per cob.with lenses on most but i may remove some of the lenses in the center just to spread out any potential hot spots.

I use 5 COBs @1050ma 36v. 54" heatsink 12" on center. 3" to the edge from last COBs.

Should still be passive. May run slightly hot on ends.

I also run 5 per 48" rail 12ish" center. I'm running Vero 29 @ 1.4A which if I had to guess would be very similar output as your setup. I run reflectors and am actually going to have to dim down a bit to avoid causing deficiencies (a lil too much light). I would imagine you would be fine without optics if you chose, otherwise you will have ample light density even @ 36"-48" to canopy with a fantastic foot print.
Really cool build you got goin!

Which type of drivers are you going to use?

Sorry for the delay in response, I am using Mean Well HLG-185H-C700 to maximize efficiency, I am also going passive cooling from HeatsinkUSA 5.88 x 42". my kilowatt cost is .18 so passive cooling was a must. all the parts will be together Tuesday.
