Haha...and I didn't see you said 3 pucks. Thought one puck and 2 3590's...and was going to say you could almost get another 3590 on there.
So now that we are both in the right mind...
Yes, 3 pucks and 2 3590's in series on a hlg480h-c2100 will be perfect for the driver. The pucks are ~46v in use and 3590's are still under 36v in use there too.

I can be wrong just like anyone on this earth. And in this thread, my carelessness in reading the actual typed question, lead me to be wrong. That did happen. Excuses don't erase that, even if some OP details changed later. It's not the end of the world or that once pointed out I didn't immediately realize what I did. And corrected with more detail so clarify my revised understanding and new info presented.

But yes, thank you, usually I am fully capable of understanding the situation/equation and giving the right advice.

Mistakes happen, we got there!

Teamwork makes the dream work yeah?

Been looking at the plc 330 bar too, eventually if have 3 2x4s going to do side-by-sides with 320w 288 v2 qbs | plc 330 | 320w growmau5 pucks.

Goals right?

Thanks Gene and bob

@Greengenes707 would you perfer to run this setup or one or the 320h-1400 in a 2x4 tent?

im leaning with the 480 in case I want it. but it should be super efficient with 5 cobs on a 320h 1400

I would get the 480 for that reason. 320-1400 will only get you ~300w of light, which is good, but ~400w would be a lot better. And have plenty in the tank for expansion or just because. The 480's efficiency is great, so you're not loosing anything, even dimmed significantly.

Pretty sure I'm going to go with a 480h-1750 and run them on with rapid led heatsinks.

If I'm right it will run the pucks at 79w and the cxb3590s at 75w. Which is under their rated 80w for the sinks. So 387w max with those arrays? (With 58v more playroom for whatever I want to add down the road spectrum wise) [double check me please]

480 can run close to 500w your maths wrong I think.

If you aren't running c02, I'd suggest just getting a HLG-320h-48a driver and four pucks running parallel. Adding on another pucks, if you want increased efficiency.
-320 w

For veg only just throw two HLG 100 Quantum Boards, or four HLG qb132s on a HLG-240h-36 driver ran in parallel for the same efficiency type upgrade. [This driver will also run cxb3590s] (Or four 132qbs on a HLG-240h-1750 driver in series, but without being able to up the efficiency later)
- 240 w
