200w dimmable also sound like a great match for the bridgelux v-series v22s for a value play.200w dimmable are done and will be in stock soon on pacificlightconcepts.com
-1.8a, 112v...perfect for 3 CXB's at ~65w each
-1.4a, 145v...perfect for 4 CXB's at ~50w each

Entry price is ~$50 for one. The code "DIY10" will work for them and take 10% off bringing them down to ~$45.
Shipping should be pretty reasonable using flat rate USPS. A single 200w might fit in a small $7 box. And a 13.45 box should hold up to ~9.
I think that these are going to be the best value and even even quality and in DIY and even commercial and will help with the cost of entry to build for many.
It also makes PLC a one stop shop for all your CXB DIY needs.
They do have that configuration. I can't remember, but think you're international? If yes, then contacting them direct is probably the way to go.Awesome news @Greengenes707 ! I'm looking for a 150 watt 1.05a and 1.4a with dimming. I'm curious if LSD has that driver configuration...
I want 250v 1amp driver that could handle 8 vero18s or even something suited for the citizen clu046 1812, which run at typ of 1080mah at 52v so anothe 1 amp but 210v driver that could handle 4 of that clu046
Here is the data sheet they have.,,,what protections they have?... are these protections suited (matched) to protect 3 or 4 cxb cobs?...
...maybe external sensor/s to check temps on HS or maybe in cobs... dimming by external temp sensor/s... i know ...i only dreaming...
...i suposee they use 3-1 sistem on dimming... its a 1-10v or 0-10v dimming?...
on inrush issue ... they recomend number of units on 16 A breaker?...
...any datasheet or other aplication note with more info?...
...thanks in advance...
...pd... wilson... seems to me ...no more soup for me...
...time to infusion...

Gg you're gangster
Ya, should work well for a few other brands too.200w dimmable also sound like a great match for the bridgelux v-series v22s for a value play.

Probably about 3 weeks for new stock of the 50w'ers and the new 200w'ers. We paid for air shipping to get them here as soon as possible because I know many are waiting for them.When they in stock? I checked site...
All drivers out of stock. :0(
Brother Sanjuan Most Growers On This Site Are Not Old Enough to know What LSD-25 IsI'm surprised this hasn't been asked yet:
Is there an LSD-25 model?
Forgot to ask GG,what do you think of stocking the LSD 200 w 900 ma driver,it will run 6 COBs and you did mention maybe stocking some drivers for the more efficient end of things.
Seems like the 2 best options under 1000ma.Yea,the 700 ma one is another option,it will run 8 COBs
700ma is compatible with a wider range of monos.Seems like the 2 best options under 1000ma.
I like the 900ma myself...not too much increased build cost, and the gain is there efficiency wise. And can offer low clearance.
Between 700ma or 900ma...what do other people like as a stock option?
I dont think weve seen any data on this yet150w at 2.1A. But that's because 50% ROI is faster than 56%+, and by the time the earliest ROI comes, we'll want to upgrade to presumably newer more efficient leds.
150w for a pair of cobs designs well also. Could use it in a 2'x2', stretch it to a 2'x3', put a pair in a 3'x3'. Plus over building and drimming is a fairly cheap addition to DIY, and what better way to fight lumen depreciation than with a little crank up of the knob?
When does the efficiency drop off for these drivers? I'm assuming ~50%?
That is if cooling cost are not a issue. I cant get heat out of my grow easily so cooling is a road block. Run cooler means more area lite for me.Data on ROI? I'm at $383 for 300w at 50% not counting miscellaneous(scavenged from junk), That's 150par watts, $1.27/wall watt build. Building a 200w at 56% came to $334, $1.67/w, 268w needed for the same 150 par watts, $448 build. $65 more for the same light, -32 watts. $.00384 extra per hour for 32 watts, 16,927 hours to see that extra $65.
