Yes you can, just be careful.Can I do 4 3000k 3590 and 2 5000k 3590 @36v in a series using the HLG240H-C1050B driver? Is this a good setup regarding efficiency? I'm a n00b at this stuff and don't quite understand the chart. Also, the HLG240H-C1050B can be run from a regular 110 outlet right?
Do you mean to be careful because this is pushing the limit of the driver or because i'm a n00b or both?Yes you can, just be careful.
Just cause you're a narbDo you mean to be careful because this is pushing the limit of the driver or because i'm a n00b or both?
ok good. lolJust cause you're a narb
What would my suggest setup pull from the wall? I'm on the East Coast and electric prices are crazy. I run a 600w hps now in a 5x5.It's actually not pushing the limit. It can hold 6.6-6.8 cobs. Almost 7 but not quite.
Pushing it is my set up.
4 3590's on a 240-1750b x 2. It holds 3.9, but with the fV being lower at less than 2800ma that Cree says it's actually 36v's, I run it nice and tight.
heres a graph i think it was made by supra but it shows all the combos for series wiring and how many cobs will run this way.idk why this chart isnt stickied at the top of this section by itself lol.ok i found out the active cooled single module units i had made
were wired in parallel
can they be rewired in series or would i need a different driver?
4 COBs with 1 driver 4pcs 50W CXB3590
Driver Model no. : HLG-185H-36A
was waiting for one of the experts to answer that,but it would make sense that yes if 1 blows it would break the circuit and all the lights in series would go out.but even if one burned out and somehow the rest stayed lite up they would not be overdriven,the amps would remain the same which is generally much lower than parallel wiring.this is why most guys use series wiring over para,plus if you did lose a cob in series,most times you could just jump past that light with a new wire and keep using the panel while you wait for a replacment cob.thanks will do...if one stops while wired series then do they all stop?

i would assume AC to DC conversion at higher voltage values is more efficient. so 110v AC to 110v DC is more efficient than 110v AC to 50vDC. but thats just a guess.hi guy's i plan on building a litle 2 or 3 cob veglight first [with the best components i can sours this side of the pont], to get my autoflowers up to about 8 or 10 inches before i put them outside under the mother growlight, and want to slowly expand to flowering a few plants indoor this winter.
i was put on to this great forum by growmou5's youtube video's and finding a lot of great info here, for witch i thank you all.
from grouwmou5's nice video's i leaned that running cob's at lower amp's is more efficient, but supra's list here says that the hlg-60h-c700 is actually a litle less efficient than the hlc-120h-c1400??!!
can anybody explain what i am missing??, and wich driver would be best for me??
thanxx for all info
it seems the lower wattage drivers are all less efficient.hi guy's i plan on building a litle 2 or 3 cob veglight first [with the best components i can sours this side of the pont], to get my autoflowers up to about 8 or 10 inches before i put them outside under the mother growlight, and want to slowly expand to flowering a few plants indoor this winter.
