oh i guess the 50v volt drivers at 700ma (35w) would draw about the same wattage at the 36v at 1.05 amps (38w). That works out to 75-80 watts per heat sink, I want to keep the power draw relatively the same as my current setup and just increase the amount of photons. That being the case maybe 3x 50v chips per heat sink at 500ma (75w per sink) would would be a better way to go. For sure would need reflectors but I would be getting more photons that are better spread out a the same wattage.. HLG-120H-C500 can run up to 300v so theoretically it could drive 6x 50v chips if they don't go over 50v, which is probably possible.. unless you have a better driver option to run 6x 50v at 500ma.. constant voltage maybe???
what are the best options for chips in the 50v range?? according to the chart you posted above.. if I'm reading it right... at 25 watts the cxm22 are the best option for the price.. is this chart current?
so now this is where i need comparisons.. if the 8x 3500k 1212 gen 6 for $110 gets me about 15-20% improvement and i see you have the cxm22 3500k for 19$... 12 would be $229 plus 2 drivers. what kind of gains would i be getting over the gen 6 1212?? sorry for all the questions but when i upgrade if you have all the parts i need i will get them from you. thanks again for the help.
Also i thought you made sphere to do tests like this or was that someone else?? i have a flux meter i picked up years ago and used for 1 week of testing and setting up heights and sits in that same drawer as the Z4's led i mentioned earlier. I would love to test out a new setup again and maybe justify the cost of the meter a little more.
you can see the previous test number here...
