ask him why he wants to teabag his nuts on his light fixture o_O

hey @CobKits is there a post in here that shows like how many citi chips will fit on a given driver like the 1818 cob on a mw 185-1050 or 1400ma ? or do we just have to figure all that out. maybe its time you make a chart like supra did for cree and mw but for citi and mw,series wiring please lol

using those common drivers and maybe adding a few of the newer ones out now. giddyup :hump:

i thought i told you giddyup on them charts lol.put the pipe down and crunch those numbers bobby bongsmilie
 
@CobKits
I am waiting for clu048 holder restock.
Since I have time,I am planning different option.
1212 on hlg185-36 b version
1818 on hlg185-54 b version.
I know you do not stock them and if I want them you should order it.
My problem is I need to have driver far from tent,and b version with a 100k pot for dimming is very important to me.
You say hlg-185-48 b version is locked to max 49v so it is not appropriate for 1818,so I have to look at 54v version
My 2 question are:
1)if I take hlg-185-54 b,how many watt can I use from it with 1818 (from 4 to 7,per driver)
2)how much would cost the driver (cost for 3 hlg-185-36b, coat for 3 hlg-185-54b)?
Thank you again for your help and sorry if I have made some English mistake

Hey Cobby did you ever order those 3618's? I've got a friend who wants to buy 3618 light engines and the more I think about it the more I think they are gonna be a hot ticket item. Two of them per HLG-320 at 1.4A seems like it should come in somewhere around a dollar per watt, and that is not too shabby right now. I think he's gonna want 4 of them in the near future with aforementioned drivers.

i didnt, 4 weeks to get em and i gotta get 20 min so if hes interested lets talk on pm
 
Cobbit I was nice on the 1212 6500k's but do you plan on getting more soon? If not I'm gonna grab the rest
 
well, round 0.75 mm wire ;). ill look i think the ones i have take 1mm. ill figure it out and update site page for clarity

Perfect!
So I can order bjb holder with no more waiting for Ideal holder restock.
What about hlg-185-54?

ive actually got one on the shelf but its not on the site, how many do you need?
Click to expand...
3 x hlg-185h-54 b
Will this driver be ok for 1818?
At 100% should be 530/550 watt,that I can dimm to 10% with resistive 100k (1 for each driver)pot,right?
 
yeah that can take 1818 out to 3.3A or so (180W). so its riht around your ballpark

i gotta say 1825 is a far better chip in that range, ~15% more efficient and a little lower voltage so you can max that 54b out

I will use 4 cob per driver,than upgrade to 7 per cob once price drop
It should be safe or not?
 
4 cobs per driver are fine sorry i thought you were at 1 cob per driver. yeah 1818s are good, thats 862 mA per cob and will be a very efficient 492 mA if/when you upgrade
