hello,

I have a 3' by 4' grow area. I want to build a light I can raise and lower with two rails that have 4x 36v cxb3590s on each for a total of 8 cxb3590s.

I was going to split each rail so I would use two Mean Well hlg-240h-c1400b drivers which is 403.2 watts. Is there any reason I should go to a
Mean Well HLG-240H-C1750B which brings it up to 504 watts?

I plan to raise and lower the light, and I plan to have the rails split so I can have half shut off if I have small plants.

Can anyone chime in?


Also, building this through with the help of rapidled, any opinion on their company? I am going to use their 140mm heatsinks, and their substrate rail system.

Should I use all 3500k?
