    Vero 29 ?

    I would listen to this guy. I was stubborn and didn't listen and bought the hlg 2.1A driver for my Vero 29 L-23's. You could literally cook a steak on the pins of my 140mmx80mm heatsinks. I picked up a HLG-185H-C1050 and now I run 5 chips at around 40w for 200w total. Bright as hell, no heat and...

    Best driver (current) for 3 Vero 29???

    Prices were in Canadian dollars. So look at the Picts and read the data sheet from Bridgelux If you want to call Bridgelux and tell them their specs are wrong please feel free to call them. I'm sure they would love to hear what you have to say.

    Best driver (current) for 3 Vero 29???

    That's a great build. And if I was building them for other people to use I would definitely go with the 1400mA driver. Especially if I had to offer a warranty. If you were to give the user the ability to run at max, 90% of users would run at max, greatly increasing the risk of a burnout. But for...

    Best driver (current) for 3 Vero 29???

    I agree. The 1400 is by far the most efficient driver. It's only drawback is that it produces 7000 Lm at around 42w at its max current. Whereas at Test current the 2100mA driver produces 11000 lumens but at a very power hungry 75+ watts. The 1400 will, again...by far, allow for maximum...

    Best driver (current) for 3 Vero 29???

    I love the rail. I just can't afford them. Lol. I get the 140mmx100mm pin fins for $17US plus shipping and they run a few inches from the charcoal canister intake. They're rated for 85w (or so) and I run the L-73's at around 70w. Pulling around the 200w mark out of the wall for 3 COBs. The...

    Best driver (current) for 3 Vero 29???

    Why do you think it's more effective? Shouldn't you only be able to draw 35w per cob with that driver? More efficient, I agree. It puts the heat on the driver not the COBs. But you lose the ability to overdrive the chips. My situation is that I'm in a 2x4 tent with wall to wall SCROG. I need at...

    Best driver (current) for 3 Vero 29???

    I'm using 3 BXRC-40E10K0-L-73 36.8V 2.1A chips on 140mm fin pin heatsinks. I bought them in June, they became obsolete in September. Lol. I'm running the HLG-240H-C2100. 2.1A chip-2.1A Driver. Costs a little more but worth it I think. I figure I can always buy the Gen7 D-73 for $30 each or what...

    Ya but with an order of close to 300 heatsinks I'd be running the tap and die for weeks. I can get them from Alibaba but I'd have to order them now for them to arrive in June. I still don't even know what chip I'm going to settle on. Right now I'm going to test the new Vero's I got for flower...

    I didn't. I posted the city. Do I have to worry about someone stalking me "in my general area"? I'm not that interesting, trust me.

    Future is charging $68 US each. Cobkits is a fraction of the price. I own a company so any taxes or duties I pay are a write off. So does it make sense to buy 3 heatsinks for $210.00 US or 3 heatsinks for $88 including shipping and taxes?

    Sorry Jamie. I went with Northern Grow lights for the heatsinks. They got back to me right away, reduced the shipping and had 136mm heatsinks predrilled for Vero 29's in stock. I thought 3 heatsinks for $88 was a good deal. Gotta say this site turned me off doing business here. But I'll be happy...

    I needed 6 140mm heatsinks now and as many as 300 around April. I have a AgroBuilding to fill on a vertical Grow set-up.

    Agreed. This is my first day here and I gotta say. Not impressed. Do the admins not care about relentless trolls. Like what the seriously fucking fuck? This place is a shit show. I came here for one purpose. To contact Jamie about some heatsinks. But apparently, I can't even do that because...

    Thank you. Not me bro. Actually getting tired of justifying every word I type to some troll. I just realized there's an ignore feature so I'm gonna ignore the troll and out of respect for Jamie of Cobkits I'm going to delete all my unrelated posts. I was just looking for heatsinks and got sucked...

    I looked it up. It's a lot cheaper but only 6000+ lumens. They have a 30 series that puts out 18000 lumens but the Lm/w is very low. The problem I would have is that the cxm22 would have to be much closer to the canopy and I have to take into consideration watering systems and sprinklers for...
