As above, I'm not sure it has been covered, if so forgive me not finding the thread but I'm wondering whether its a good idea to put these glass lenses I got from kb over the COBs. I think the lenses are 80 degrees (dont know how that is measured), they're quite heavy but seem to do a good job of sealing of the COBs which may be a desireable thing in itself.
2nd question: I think I read somewhere that these Meanwell drivers produce quite a load on the circuit when they start up, if this is so, does it mean I have to find a way to turn them on gradually rather than all at once? At the moment my 4 HPS1000's all go on together as they are on the same contactor however these will be replaced by 16 HLG-185's/HLG-240's all turned up to the max at some point. Will running them all of that same contactor trip the 32a (240v) breaker?
