Building my first light... which driver do I need?

I am building a 16 cob (cxm22) light.

Which driver do I need for power this thing?

Is 16 cobs overboard for a 5x5 tent?

If you can post a cob spec sheet here and let me know what your ac mains standard is (110/240 ac) I can advise on driver selection.

I'm ordering:

16 x CXM22
16 x 133mm passive pin fin heatsink
16 x ideal holder

How many WAGO 221 series pluggable terminal blocks do I need? And which number of slots; 2, 3, or 5?
Also, what else do I need to make complete my light?
What do I make the frame out of?

Sorry but I don't have time to hunt for spec sheets for every cob manufacturer, you need to google the cobs type followed by 'specification' then post the link here, as to numbers of wago's first you need to know what driver combination you are needing, it will vary depending on number of drivers to deliver desired wattage and whether they are being wired in parallel or series which you will only know once you settle your driver choice, which is why we need a spec sheet!

Looks like those are 52V chips @1100mA. that should give you adequate output for the size of space you're using. A HLG-240H-C1050B will run 4 of those chips in series. You could also use a couple of HLG-480H-54's-each to run 8 of the COB's in parallel.
