Where does the output come out of on these? I am only seeing the wires for input. I am obviously missing something...

Those Luxeon Ms would mix well with the 2700K Veros.
Also, looking over the Cree-vs-Vero conversion charts MrFlux provided, the 4000K Vero is looking good. They might complement the 2700Ks better than the 3000Ks would.
Adding 5 additional lamps to the space places the emitters 8" apart and I can run them at 31 watts, well below the rating for the heat sinks I have picked out.
If you could choose any color and ratio for your own flowering lamp what would you put together?
Abiqua (the new Stormtoker heh...), about that stretch, it's true that Cree is a lot 'bluer' than luxeon, or bridgelux, or generic asian. That might explain what happened with your plants.
Yes that will make it a lot easier to keep it cool.
For me 4000K is the Goldilocks of the Vero family. For CXA it would be 3500K. Both for flowering. I did some simulations with mixing whites and concluded it's simpler to just pick one color temp. Here is one example

The 120V input is connected to a terminal strip which branches out to 3 terminal strips each supplying current to 7 or 8 drivers. Each driver will be outputting 1.05A. Total for each 2ndary terminal strip is max of 8.4A. Total being drawn from the primary strip is 24.15A.
I try to make sure not to push any circuit harder than 80% of its rating.
