cree chips(cxb3590) win 23% @ half of the power
@ half current it`s even 25% more light efficiency
also a 1800K chip is emitting much less green light compared to 2700K
and luminous efficiency is not the adequate unit to compare.
if we see those chips as an alternative to add red to a cool-...
2 in series means:
wire output DC+ to + of your chip
then wire from - of this chip to + of the second chip
then wire - of the second chip to DC- of the drivers output
spent some time to learn the basics in the internet -
before yo:ou risk and electrocut your life
above driver is 10W/300mA constant current - and you see 3 x 100W chip
with the same driver:
this is 5 x 100W chip + 1 x 50W (on the right) ---> only 50mA each chip and i still see good low voltage consistancy
Since years i diy with this spectrum (among others) to grow sucessfully...

sometimes they are "called" epileds
but on epileds.com.tw - happens the same
as we know the only difference...
three of what ? --- do you mean 3 of those^ drivers for 4 x CLU048-1212 ???
then you should use only 2 drivers to drive 2 x 2CLU048 in series.
have a look to the datasheet - and you see, that your 4 chips will drive out a total
~ 65W @ 500mA (<20% of max current) very good efficiency and no...
tell your company that you want to prepare hot water with electricity - and may be they are glad to offer you a special tarif.
i use watercooled led light in combination with a heatexchanger and i prepare lots of hot service water every day... 9 yards sound like min.2500W ---> 500L of hot water...
:peace: you need negative air pressure (pasive income hole covered eg. with a cardboard box against the light) - pulling out with both fans in a row if necessary.
i once had the same problem - and found it much better to put ona gel or other room ambients
on a rag inside a bigger plastic bag...
:peace: if you read that vice versa you get the ~ right numbers.
led: 25-30% light
MH or HPS bulb: 20-25%
there will ! never ! be a led chip with 70% light efficiency
and today you will be lucky to find a 30% efficiency of the produced light.
as i watercool my leds - i know it`s pretty simple...
sorry - this is chinise epistar - never found any professional datasheet of these chips
you find this chip everywhere on alibaba and aliexpress
eg.
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/DIY-Grow-Light/2335145_511909490.html?spm=2114.10010108.100008.24.4cbe57892u537H
That`s 3W epistar full-spectrum chip ~ 1800K // 12 in row / 9 paralell (@30W)
if you drive them < 100mA - they are pretty efficient like all chips
@ ~ 13% of max. load.(700mA)
can cost you something like 1,30US$ / W
:peace: I never worked with this driver, but i guess and estimate, that you are hard on the edge...specially with a cold start in the (winter)morning, you risk to see your leds blinking...and your driver is not able to build up enough voltage to drive through 1,75A -
normaly it helps to dimm...
What`s that ?
the exception confirms the rule
sometimes the most stupid farmer is harvesting the biggest potatoes...
in the sense of "ONENESS" --- GOD is not always clever, smart and fit -
but always wins the race somehow.

i thought he was hindu, but now find him as one of the most popular sufi...born in spain and working and living in the arabien world of the 12th century a.c.
