DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

Thanks for the Answer Alesh. So i read they are about 85% efficient which is almost 9% lower than the HLG-185H-C1400, which is a lot.
However they are 60 watt each. So am i correct in assuming that my COBs will be running at roughly 51 watts and 1190 ma ?
You are correct that it would be roughly the same price if i were to buy a HLG-185H-C1400 to power 4 COBS, but i already run 2x cxa3070 on two LPC-60-1400.

Not saying it's a bad driver. Your COBs are more likely running at about 36.8V, 1.4A, 51.5W.
Nice setup!!!! What did you use to mount your heatsinks and cobs to?
I used a steel sheet (very bad idea because very difficult thing to cut properly) and I made the holes to the size of the cooler. I fixed the COBS to arctic alpine with cob holder (so I drilled the coolers and I broke 3 drills
). I fixed the arctic alpine to the sheet with aluminum angles that I cut to make the brackets (I could not find in this dimension of brackets).It took a long time and if I had to do it again I will use sink profiles as REALSTYLES.

i dont really understand the data sheets for these type of drivers
will they adjust the voltage to the cob or are they constant voltage?

These are all constant current drivers. It means they will adjust their output voltage (in the rated range) to make their rated current flow through the circuit.

great thanks beacuse i was looking at the data sheet for the HLG-40H-36 to drive 1 cxb3070 and it looked like it has adjustments for both current and volatge- i was hoping it would auto adjust the voltage which it seems u are saying it will?
cheers

I see a lot of zeroes in the stock column.
Last time I checked kingbrite wasn't on octopart.

So it's faster to post here than get a quote from Jerry or find sellers not listed on octopart.

Looks like the hlg-80h-c700 is the one you want. It will run 3 cxb's at .7a
