Luminus CXM-32 Gen3 the next big thing??

[licoricetree]

or do the 12 with those drivers and add a 185-48a for the extra 4

look at the clu1818---cxm match those specs

If you are doing a 3x3 space i would do 12 like me for a 4x4 on either 2 hlg-320-48a or driven a little lower on a hlg-600-48a--6 cxm22 on each 320 or 5-6 on each output on the 600. Your plant will be very happy with 12 especialy if you narrow the beam down with some reflectors maybe some angela if you have it in the tent leave em bare will be fine. Even at 12 id suggest running co2 to take up all that light you will be giving them.

This is 8 cxb3590 in a 4x4 area. Selling these to a friend

What's Angela? Lol.

So if I use 12 CXMs I should put them all in series on a HLG-600-48a-6?

You don't worry about thermal drift?

 

[CobKits]

not an issue with more than 2 cobs and the 48A has built in voltage limiting

 

[licoricetree]

make sure you adj your voltage

What does the 5v output do?

Is that necessary? I feel wide open is fine

Is that necessary? I feel wide open is fine

I had to adjust all of mine to get to wide open.

It may be fine cause max won't blow the chip but I dunno. But just in case I set to to the typical range of chip.Either way it shuts itself off at 52.2

 

[licoricetree]

That was jumbled sry using Google voice lol

I run my cxb cobs (36V Nom) on a 42B driver with no issues except some wasted driver potential and maybe a small efficiency loss. I just wonder on an (A) type driver does lowering the V slightly raise the I slightly internally?

 

[robbmarr]

Because I don't have frame of reference on electrical shit a part of me feels like Simon from West World saying "Doesn't look like anything to me."

But I'm really glad you guys are here to help, I've come this far thanks to it.

Man west world was awesome

I'm considering a new luminous build. Two bars, 3 CXM-22 light engines each. One HLG-185H-48 per bar, cobs run in parallel I suppose. It would run about $400 shipped and would replace the shitty light in my 3x3 pheno test tent. Thinking of running these with reflectors, or should I run lenses? Anyone recommend any lenses for the BJB holders?

Those will run in parallel, and I personally dont use lenses or reflectors because I dont think tey are necessary in a reflective tent, but I would run 120* lenses if I had to use something

Still trying to figure the eff at 54w and 73w . Do you know @CobKits .. and if you don't can you please find out

See the thing is cxb are 56% eff at 50 watts and the 1212 are 47% ..it said so we can get the par watts which what we really care about ..
