I just ordered 5 more Rhino Molex adapters for my fan drivers. I should receive my 32 CXB 3590's tomorrow. I need to still order some more heat sinks and cob holders.

That looks great! Neatness counts. And that is a pleasing array to my eye.

You every see Surviorman? He grouses all the time about how difficult it is for one guy to film his own survival tutorial. Kind of got in his way, at first.
I didn't know Hardline was out yet. THANK!!

What profile / height is the heatsink? Get it from heatsinkusa?

With those drivers you could power 8 CXB3070s... just making sure you know that. ~400w at full power

Yeah i was unsure if i should go 8 as that will run them at 50% if i only use 6 they will be running at something like 66% and get 400 watts still doing a lot of reading so still a little unsure if i was to do 8 i might do two with 4 chips on each heat sinkWith those drivers you could power 8 CXB3070s... just making sure you know that. ~400w at full power

You'll get around 300W with 6 CXBs and these drivers.

hey guys I really need some help.
I'm new to all this and i'm trying to get the details necessary for a friend to help me build a 900 watt panel that will do some veging and some flowering for me.
he's an electrician, i'm wondering if there is enough info in this thread for me to provide him with a schematic to work off.
my original posting is https://www.rollitup.org/t/if-you-are-new-to-led-and-want-help-choosing-what-to-buy-post-here.633304/page-309#post-11597347
any help with my project would be greatly appreciated

Gonnna be getting some 6500k soon(CXB3590) and I don't get it why fools trip on m and can't tell when I'm being a fool or being serious.
There are a lot of different ways to do it @SSS2015, none of them 'cheap' from AU. Postage is the killer as nobody seems to stock all the components in one place. Your electrician wont need a schematic, at its most simple it is just drivers hooked to the mains powering the cobs, in series with larger (drivers) or parallel with a number of smaller ones. They have built in protections and you don't really need dimmers etc.. just a parts list.
If I was after 900w divided between Veg/Bloom i'd devote perhaps 700w to bloom.
To keep costs down i'd drive them harder, probably Bridgelux Vero cobs as a place to start, Vero18 seem like good comparative value, say driven around 1.4a to give 40w each? If your lost already (just focusing on my suggestion), just ask (go back to the other thread or start ur own..), it would be appropriate to now pause while you catch up, there really are so many options and it just cant be explained fully without you and your personal learning curve.
At a very rough estimate (in AU) you'd be looking at $70-80 each cob up and growing. I only dabble with little cabinet lights but have helped a mate with a larger tent size light, bigger scale can help with costs.
I'm familiar with Area 51 lights as a commercial alternative, the new models best but there are some older ones hitting the AU market (gumtree/ebay)
