well you gotta take into account im using 15 lights over the space.if i only had 10 i would use 1750ma drivers or at least 1400ma.hgl240-c1750 will run 4 cree 3590 so unless you go up to the 320 series you will need 3 drivers for 10,might as well get 3 x 1750ma drivers and use 12 cobs on them,4 per driver.i just picked up some 1400ma drivers from rahz so ill be building those soon to compare against my 1050ma stuff. with the lower amps you just need to keep them closer together like 10 to 12 in on center.shit growmau5 killed it running them at 700ma.Hey six, aside from all the math and shit, what's your real world opinion on the how much current needs to be pumped through 2 bars of 5 to meet or exceed the yield of a 1000w DE?
I'm seeing on these numbers on spreadsheets and calculators telling me I need 2.1A to make the same PPF as the ovens, but then you show me these tall monsters that are growing at @1050.
Not that I mind pumping the extra juice, it comes down to how many drivers I'm going to need. I'd rather not have to use three if I can use two you know what I mean.
