    Spacing between COBs

    Spacing your cobs I would suggest 8"-10" apart 12" is ok but to me you need them a little closer. I am running 24 of the citizen 1818 @ 1.4A and 24 luminus 22 and they are 12" apart. I will be adding a few more to my setup.

The swamp cooler only work in low humidity with the rh being 40%-70% it would move the hot humid air around. You may need to get a...

    Anybody tried the ELG version of Meanwells, Rather than HLG...

    There are small differences between the 2 mainly for me I wanted the software dimming and if you want them on a hlg driver you have to order 200 drivers at a time. From meanwell usa HLG & HVGC-D Type (Timer dimming), this is our optional model, MOQ 200pcs. Production L/T is also 30 days(+6 extra...

    How to switch ballast to 240v

    IT doesnt matter what the box really looks like or the different styles of breakers the principle is all the same it doesnt change. It just takes a multimeter to figure out where the issue is.

    How to switch ballast to 240v

    One thing I see is you used 2 single pole breakers and that doesnt work for 240 you need a double pole breaker. Single pole for 120 double pole for 240 Just wait until the electrician is there and pay him to fix it right.
