So my COBs can be driven at 1.25A instead of 1.05A? Or is that what driver consumes?im pretty sure the A units dim from about 40% to 100% so it sounds like just what i would expect.
240 at full blast can hit 260W, and then youre also measuring on the AC side and must include the 91-93% efficiency which eats up another 20W or so

And watts?the amperage on the AC side really has nothing to do with the amperage on the DC side
get a cheap multimeter and read the voltage and current on the DC side
If its rootbound, the roots in a cup are circling, unless you trim them they will continue to do that in a new container. You can trim them but it stalls the plant. If you use airpots you just take them apart with no root disruption or need to trim them.well having it semi rootbound kinda helps as the roots dont get all disturbed it pops out like a solid mass
i havent used soil in 20 years anyway
So you saying kill a watt meter is useless for adjusting lights?you calculate watts by multiplying volts x amps
not at all. in fact if you use the datasheet to estimate driver efficiency you can get a pretty good idea of cob wattageSo you saying kill a watt meter is useless for adjusting lights?
yes, at 110V input smaller drivers like the 240 are around 92%And those wonderful MW drivers are consuming much more than they should without influence on COBs?
So I can use watts to see how much light I getting, if I understand you?Driver is 93 or 94%. So 280 * 0.93 = 260W, still over spec for that driver. I really don't understand this... So my COBs actually get 260W with HLG-240H-C1050A driver?
Can the same math be used in amperage? 1.25A * 0.93 = 1.16A ? So my COBs getting 1.16A on 1.05A driver?
Thank you!
