Thank you Supra, you are a huge help, the plan is to run CXA3070 3000k for the flower side and CXA3070 5000k for the veg side at first and see how they work then add a few additional heatsinks of ? when the wallet fills back up. Using either of those drivers it leaves me around 30 watts to add...

Before I hit the buy button I wanted to seek advice on these drivers from those with more knowledge than I. The plan is to use 2-HLG-185H-C1400A to run 6 3070's in series for a 6 sf flower cabinet and the one I had the hardest time finding/deciding on 1-HLG-60H-C700A to run 2 3070's in series...

So could anyone explain the issues with running high voltage in series? I can wire a home from the service entrance to a receptacle but I have very little experience with DC. What are some of the pros and cons with running these cobs in series? I assume that if 1 cob goes out the whole series...

It might cost a bit more but I like the idea of less but better drivers. So in my case I am planning my cabinet to have a 6 sf flower side with 6 3070's @ 3000k and a 4 sf veg side with 2 3070's 5000k. On the flower side would it be better to run 2 HLG-120H-C1050B or could I push it a bit and...

Thank you, I think I'm starting to understand the drivers a bit better, maybe I was making it more complicated than it really is. Basically the cob will draw x amount of voltage at a chosen current and I just need to make sure the driver handles that voltage at the current I choose to run and...

I like that idea to step down to the 1050mA, thank you. I would really like dimable but just can't justify the additional driver expense, maybe upgrade when I only need to purchase a few at a time rather than 8. 1 last question before I pull the trigger on the driver purchase, the datasheet for...

Driver recommendation needed, small cabinet, flower side is about 6.25 sf and I plan on running 6 3070 ab's with the LPC-60-1400. Does this seem reasonable or can you recommend any other driver. I need a driver for the veg side of the box, it will be approximately 4 sf with 2 3070 ab's @ 5000...

I am trying to understand these drivers, reading a lot but still confused. When referring to that ebay driver you said it was cutting it close in terms of the vF range, how so? Off of the ebay image it shows dc 25-37 V 1.5 A +/- 3%. I am confused about the range when looking at these drivers, is...

Thank you, now I can see the savings using the right column. I worry about not having enough light or too much for the veg cabinet and thought of going the dimable route, is there a good reference on how to set these lights up to dim? I can wire a house but know very little about dc stuff.

I must not be reading that chart correctly or my math is flawed, the only column which I see had voltages is the vf50 it shows only a 2 watt difference between running at 700ma & 1400ma. Am I reading this right? I wasn't planning on running 24 hours on but rather I was just using that as a...

So if my math is correct and I am reading the chart right the yearly cost difference to run 24 hours per day at 700 ma vs 1400 ma is only $2.76 assuming 0.15 cents per kilowatt hour. Am I reading this correctly?

First I want to say thank you, the DIY threads on the 3070 saved me from buying a cheap Mars panel! But reading for days I am lost and on information overload and needing help. So I have an order in for 6 3000k ab 3070's and 2 5000k ab 3070's. This is a cabinet grow with 6.25 sq.ft. for flower...
