I was unsure if there was any in my area anymore, but it turns out there is one not too far away!

Awesome. Thanks guys! I'll have to order some resistors online or see if I can get any locally.

Updated diagram

I was under the impression that resistors where not needed. So you're saying I need a 10k resistor soldered on to the left(unused in my diagram), then REMOVE the white wire(green in my diagram) and solder it to the other end of the resistor?

So I *think* I understand what I need to do. Does everything in this diagram look right?

Hi all. I'm trying to wire up 2 Bridgelux Vero 29's to a Meanwell HLG-240h-C "B type" that has cables to hook up to a pot. The pot I'm using is Bourns 100k(See picture). I'm just confused as to how to wire everything up. Can anyone give me a hand? Maybe someone has pictures of their own setup...

I ended up going with 2 of these: https://led.cdiweb.com/secure/PortalProductDetail.aspx?ProdId=574068&ManufId=3050 That claims up to 95w which is a little below what I want but I'm going to have a high power fan aimed right at the heat sinks so they will have tons of air flow over them. I also...

Damn! I don't think I can wait a whole month haha. I originally planned to germinate on Dec 15th(my state went legal)

I'm thinking of going with this one: https://led.cdiweb.com/ProductDetail/ICELEDXTRAULTRA-MechaTronix/574033/ Anyone have any input? That seems like it's more then enough to cool my cobs.

Or even something like this http://www.led-heatsink.com/seepricesandbuy.php?subcate=654

Is there a way to know how many watts a heat sink will dissipate? Looking around I see heat sinks like http://www.led-heatsink.com/seepricesandbuy.php?cateid=351 but I have absolutely no Idea how to correlate that information to how much heat the cobs will generate.

Good call, I knew one of them lurked on here but I was unsure of who. I also have the new Vero 29 SE's which I think are slightly bigger then normal 29's...So I also wonder if they will fit on that heat sink as well.

Thanks for the reply! It seems they are out of the Vero 29 ones! :

Hi all! I'm wondering how I can figure out how much heat sink I need for my build. I plan on running two Vero 29 gen "c"'s @ 1750mA. I've been googling around for the last 2 days and I cannot seem to figure out how I calculate how much heat sink I need. I watched the Growmau5 DIY build where he...

So I have my cobs and I'm waiting for my driver to get here. In the mean time I have to mount the cobs to the arctic cooler heatsinks I got. I have a 12V 1000mA power cord from an old router and each of the heatsink fans is 12V/0.16A. Do I have the wiring right from this diagram? Basically I...

I went ahead and ordered the SE's last night! I've been wanting to start my first grow since Dec 15th(where I live went legal) and I just did not have the patience to wait another month. Now I have to order the driver and all the miscellanious things needed to hook them up(wire, electrical type...

It seems the SE's are just gen 7's with a different case that has push in connections(like you said). Other then that I think they are the exact same.

Hmm. What's the difference between the SE's and non SE's? I was planning on ordering the ledil reflector.

I can't believe it... I just went to purchase the cobs from digikey and the 3000k are gone :< I was going to order lastnight when it showed 70+ in stock....now they are out of stock. Dammit....

Cool man. I'm looking around and gonna try to see if I can find any ones on eBay that are cheap but won't take a month or two to get here! Thanks for all the info, much appreciated!
