Use thermal paste to be safe, and keep in mind you are loading those drivers a tiny bit over 100%. Should be OK, but don't be surprised if it isn't. Like I've said before, these can be a little awkward on Meanwell drivers currents if you want ~50W.
I want the best light I can build for the price. What do u think could go wrong and how can I alleviate it? Do I need better (more expensive ) cobs?
Have you ever built and ran a CLU048 led at 1400Ma? What do u mean running over 100%. Aren't they rated for 2.76Ma maximum.
The DRIVER is running over 100%. Always double check my math, however:
Yes.
I -think- he meant 2x50K, two drivers on each but umm...yeah. Yeah.
So what will remedy this problem?
I'm a new in the led world. As you can easily tell. I'm great at engineering and wiring/installing electrical circuits and equipment. Though I've never built an led light it seems to be basic circuitry. Ok someone please tell my what drivers I need? Can these cobs only be ran at 1050Ma with drivers running safely. Safety is always first for me. I ordered 20 of the CLU048-1212 cobs. I just want to get the maximum amount of lumens out each cob while doing it in a very safe manner. Anyone please tell me what to do?
I'm not even gone try to lie and say uh yeah thats what I meant! Naw my math was just all fucked up. So I need 2×50k dimmers. I understand I can put 2 drivers on each. Thanks for the info. I'm very grateful.
then why wouldn't 4 CLU-048-1212 work on an HLG-185H-C1400b ?
I'm waiting for the answer myself cause I've chatted with a guy running 20 clu right now with hlg-185h-1400b. He's pulling 5-6lbs per grow
So what will remedy this problem. More drivers with only 2 cobs on each driver instead of 4 or run 4 cobs per driver but only at 1050Ma. Told yall I'm a newb!
It's doesn't say in the thread (1000 watt clu048 grow) so basically get more drivers. Do u think 3 cobs per driver would work?
Good job on those charts
