8 cobs 4x4 area?

Greetings:
I would suggest a configuration of 3 rows of 4 COBs each to cover a 4x4. Here's a shot of my 2x4x6 w/6 plants 3gal smartpots. An afterthought, too many plants for a 2x4 that I think I overvegged for a tent. Reduced plant count to 3, 2 Blue Dream, 1 Kush N Cheese. which just had enough room to do their thing.
GrowMau5 had a great vid that went over the appropriate number of COBs for a 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, the number of COBs and the best drivers. Vid is no longer on the channel. I'll repost it on my channel.
But, fear not, you can make what you have work w/some creative designing. You see I made use of 4 CXB 3590, similar to yours, for the 2x4, imagine how it would work doubled for your
use. Just a thought.
Hope this helps.

It's best to work that out before you buy everything. But to answer your question the way I would do it is with angled aluminum and spacing them out one per every two feet. So something like this.

36"x36"
3 on the sides 2 in the middle then 3 more on the other side. Space them out evenly and if possible, that parts up to you but the easiest way is to put them in straight lines. If you want to make it more difficult then try to keep them all equal distances apart making the COBs into a circle for the best coverage.

The standard rule of thumb is to use the 1Cob bed sq/ft rule

I have a big 8*8 tent though.. I would squish yours in a little tighter than mine. Mabe stay 6inches in before mounting your heatsink. In such a small tent you might want to try without the reflectors first.. Might get a more even spread of light across the canopy..
