No, use two of those drivers with 4 chips each. OR... I didn't catch that you're looking to fill a 4x4 before. So here's plan M;@ttystikk no I don't yet but plan to order soon. I already have the 4x4 tent. so basically you think I should use 4 drivers instead of 2? Really wanted to minimize number of drivers in my build.
Same 8 CXB3590 36V chips, CD bin or better, 3500K if you can get them.
Pair them up this time with just one Meanwell 320h [help me out here, someone! 2100mA? ] to drive the chips at 75W each. The result will pull about 630W with the driver and will easily replace a thousand watts of SE HPS.
Plan M, for Maximizer. Johnson Grow Lights already makes what I've described and it would be ideal for that space. It's even air cooled and has built in ducts. So it's up to you whether you want to save a couple hundred bucks and DIY or just snag a Maximizer off the website and be done.
