You are trying to sell something using shady tactics. We are not. How would your cool mac light improve upon his current setup (it wouldnt)?

Those drivers put out 143v. The veros at least will require over 150v at that current...

Doubt those drivers will push 6 50v chips fyi...

If you are using them on 220v that is exactly what is expected.... how do they preform on 110 is the question

Dont get mad at others for not doing more research before purchasing parts lol. Those chips should perform just fine regardless of whether or not you overpaid for the performance you will get.

The biggest difference is the derating that occurs below 220v for the ELG. Apparently though in practice this isnt the case? Your mileage may vary...

LOL I used the data YOU PROVIDED. Way to ignore literally every point we made. For someone who apparently doesnt like Trump, you seem to use a lot of his same shady tactics. Is this true? Are you a stakeholder in this CoolMac light? Or just a passionate enduser? Because if you are a...

Youll have about ~35v overhead so yeah, itll work.

You realize in your comparison you are driving the CXB twice as hard and its still still more efficient... Think that 147lm/w would go up if you ran both at 700ma??? Plus everything @frica already mentioned you have heavily skewed the data in your favor. And even then it still is...

I will say, it would be cool if they offered the cooling kit sans shitty lighting equipment...

Lol. more like a Ferarri vs porshe... The thing is were using "identical" comparative heatsinks. If copper heatsink conducts heat twice as well as an aluminum one, you can double the surface area of the aluminum heatsink and get similiar results, no? Copper is greater than twice the...

Yeah, youre right on this one. Conductivity is both ways. Aluminum is cheaper and lighter though. And copper doesnt perform better enough to make it worth it. Also aluminum can hold over twice the heat copper can...

The last thing I want to do is dissuade or discourage you from using watercooling, I just want you to take much more advantage of it.

You make the assumption that the volumes are the same in this case. Consider this, 1 gal of water has roughly the same heat capacity as 100cu ft of air... And in your case, there is very little water in the system compared to volume of air in any grow. Also ignores the fact that most...

Last I checked Bridgelux doesnt bin its chips. You may be referring to the CCT bins, which arent really relevant to this application.

Yeah, but youre not comparing the water to air, youre comparing it to an aluminum heatsink. Yes this is pretty much what it boils down to. The thing is aluminum conducts heat far better than water. They would probably perform fairly similar but the heatsink would be way cheaper and less...

Most likely at 50w a COB you are probably right. It probably would have to be active. But youre not getting more cooling, thats the thing. Those water blocks dont cool any better than aluminum heatsink and fan. Im just trying to steer you in a better direction if you choose to build...

200gallons can hold an awful lot of BTUs. 1600btus to raise it one degree F. Not to mention it loses heat from evaporation simple radiation. Or almost 500watts of heat to raise it 1 degree per hour.

Im still very curious to see someone with a cob/mono setup run a grow with monos and without to gauge the difference. Partly what I said about what I liked about this particular light, but when you criticize any part, people just assume youre a hater, regardless of validity or not.

What exactly is the advantage then? People make passive setups that are as effective for cheaper... Its not like watercooling is actually benefiting you in this case over an aluminum heatsink and fan because thats essentially the same thing, but far cheaper. He did ask for comments and...
