Any problems using HLG-240h-C1750 to run 4 CXB3590's @ 36v?

Howard i know · Oct 27, 2015

Hi all, just part way through my second build and came across these Meanwell drivers. Can anyone see any issue using these to power the CXB's? I'd be using a dimming pot. My thinking was it might be nice to have a bit of extra grunt in reserve for weeks 7-9 of flowering. By my own terrible maths I would think the COBS would be at 61watts each on full power? I guess a part of me just wants to see how bright these things will go! My first build used the HLG-185h-C1400. Cheers

It will work. Cxb 3590 is little less than 36V
71-143 VV for driver
The problem is finding the HLG 240 1750

Mouser.com USA has a 11 week wait on these. Not sure if anyone else has them in USA. May be Jerry will have them sooner.

I've been getting them on Alibaba through karen@nuohan.com. Ill go ahead and post back what they turn out like.

I got a quote from Lillian Jin @ http://dericsson.en.alibaba.com/

Didn't pull the trigger tho, as I'm probably going for ELG-150 setups as I'm in europe ..

It will be cheaper to order from china, and probably faster.

Mouser says 0 stock and "Factory Lead Time:11 Weeks" ..

Shipping cost is crazy from China though.
I was quoted $50 for shipping lol

I didnt even notice they were out of stock :roll:

Ok so Ill have to give China another thought.

depends how many you buy, it can quickly drop to a dozen dollars, and starting price is usually lower which compensates at least partially ...

I dont see the model I want there
HLG-240h-C1750

I am looking for a high V output, the ones at that site are all high A output

kutop doesn't show the HLG-240H-C series yet. Mouser has a half dozen of each model arriving in the middle of January.

Give Sager a call: http://www.powergatellc.com/mean-well-hlg-240h-c-power-supply.html

The latest email from Jerry at Kingbrite says: " Many customers are waiting for MW driver HLG-240G-C series, it is made in Taiwan, not made in China, the price should be $70-75usd."

I m might go with 36V LEDS instead with the driver delay.

i confirm i ask a MeanWell reseller on Alibaba for 1 HLG-240H-C700A and reply me this:since it is the newest model, and we have to wait 30-40days to receive the sample?

bassman999 · Nov 6, 2015

I am going to go another route I guess, as that is just too long

Their prices are high for the HLG-120H-C1050B @ $76.,I paid $65 including Fedex shipping from the
40Thieves to here in the land of stick's.

I had this linl out for Little J as he was looking for a source of Viro 18's, there
29's are at $30@, so not hard to guesstamate what the others cost.
He may be a KB-Jerry rival with the CXB's
