okay so as far as I see it im gonna be getting a clu058 -1825 chip and driving it with a HEP185-54A driver.
besides some kind of cooling and wiring a 120V plug socket to the driver. soldering the output from the driver to the chip and thermal pasting and mounting the chip to a cooler. what else...
also im gonna have to frankenstien my current cxa setup.. i might even use wood to make a new mount so i can have all 3 cobs running and have the bright ass CLU in the middle ..now the real question is wtf colour temp should i go for. my cxa's are 3000K 80cri z4's..should i go with 3500K or...

basically id like something around 20,000 lumens. if its possible out of one chip. hopefully the 1818 cause its cheap and the hlg185H-48A should be able to get the chip to push that. or should I go with that driver and a cxa3950?. I want the most lumens for the least upfront cost. that is the...
im gonna be getting the "light engine" from cobkits.com and a HLG-185H-48a driver. but id like to know what i should run it at for the most umols.. not umols per watt... since ill be using the single light i want the most lumens/par ect i can get from it with out causing too much life span...

does adding UV light actually make a difference?.. i don't give a shit about what you think... anyone do any tests like a back to back with the only difference being UV light. and then test the THC levels of each to see the difference.. and do this multiple times to see if the results are...
