Sounds like a job for water cooling!

I have read a bit about your water cooling system here and there. sounds like quite the machine, and if I had it running as many things as you do, adding some water blocks to cob's wouldnt be the biggest project ever.
Do you mind sharing a little info with us a little more about how you came up with this system, and/or a link to directly where I can read more about it? and/or where to buy a similar system, and what all you can use it for? I have sifted thru a bunch of posts looking for more info on it, but I only have so much time to spend on RIU. and I would love to know more!

Happy to! Come to my thread 'vertical goodness', (link in my sig line) so we don't clutter this one.

Hello
I bought 3 driver HLG-600H-36B
but I have a little problem
I have more to cable outlet on my single HLG-185H....
I will not deceive me and Dim DIM is for my 100k potentiometer
and two V- and V +, are two output for my cxb3590 36v
So if I want to cxb3590 12 to 1400A
I put 6 on one output and the other 6 on the other output
and mounting each parallel output
but what is the output (RC, RC, 5v SB) ?????
how to use this or what should I exit this connection ????
thank you very much

RC+ and RC- are inputs wires. Leave these wires not connected and the HLG powers your COBs. Connect these wires to put the HLG600 into StandBy mode and COBs turn OFF. Use a Switch or Relay or Optocoupler for remote control.
5Vsb is a 500ma power supply output that could power an LED Controller. This 5volt output is there even when the RC+/- wires are connected and your COBS are StandingBy.
I guess you would use a controller to sequence a set of 3 relays to open the RC+/- input wires. This would help you with AC mains current surge problems with large scale COB lighting systems.

Hi
Just about to purchase some 600H's got a few questions
.
And godamn they are expensive here in australia! Price is 283USD TO 610USD + !!!! I'm not kidding.
Anyway i found some in China for $183USD posted.
1. Has anyone figured out if the A series is fully dimmable yet? Or are we on the assumption its a 50% step to 100% ? From a video i saw, of an A model on youtube, the dude spins the iO pot (with a screwdriver) and it seemd to be more than just a 1-2 step dim.
2. I notice it has 2 outputs, each using a pair of 14AWG wires. From my research, 14AWG is usually fused/breaker used at 15a. So this means we really should be using them together? or even have one connected at each of the parallel ends?
3. Everyone talks about the safety of the COBS and. If we put a 2a inline fuse on the + side of each cob, would this not protect everysingle COB in case of any failure? In which case 1 COB can never go over ~70w? Or is the adjustable voltage enough??
4. Can i wire my 15 COBS to this driver, turn it on, then slowly lower the Vo pot until just before the driver turns off to correctly adjust the Vo?
5. If the above is true, can that alone save the cobs from any over current that's enough to destroy them?
6. And from what i can see, the only advantage to the B series is more dimming options?

I bump this thread because I have similar question like goofy81 ask in 2016 about fuse and protection,if have sense.
someone have test HLG-600H-36v and Vero29 D?
my intention it's to put 9xVero29D on one HLG-600,
it's possible to get 1850mA for cob? (Vero29D at Tc 25°c =37,2v : at Tc 55°c=36,7v)
any hardcup limitation? (Meawell HLG.600H-36,VOLTAGE ADJ. RANGE = 30.6 ~ 37.8V)
thank you

Thank you CobKits,
in fact I had read this warning / limitation on your site and I was looking for confirmation in my set with 9 Vero29D.
About the fuse speech, do you consider it valid or obsolete in front of a 36V driver wiring in parallel?
I do not see many alternatives to drive 9xVero29D with just one dimmable power supply,from 10% to 100%.
maybe better 2 drivers, for 600/630watt in total.

Hi Zangtu,
Back then I wasn't very confident running in parallel with the thermal runaway scares and all.
There was a video on YouTube which gave me the confidence to run parallel. The YouTuber actually tried to cause thermal runaway to happen and it seemed to happen at the extreme limits of temperature.

I'm trying to understand how to engage the BeastMode of an HLG-600, is it just a matter of luck and receiving a factory freak?
For example I'm looking at the HLG-600H-42 to power 21 Blux 44" strips. It's rated at 14.3A. In the report, under input test #11, it shows a rating of 15.3A. What conditions caused/allowed 15.3A output? Compare to the results of test #2 which show 14.4A.
If I want to stay under 0.7A per strip, should I order 22 strips in case I receive a factory freak driver?

I have an HLG-600H-42A in the mail.
In preparation, I've ordered one of these: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bxXEa1g4
5V Clock/timer with a simple relay. I intend to wire the driver directly to ac (although with a proper plug/outlet for quick disconnect) and run the RC wires through this gizmo, with the driver's 5Vsb powering it. Unfortunately it's a NO relay, and thus I will have to program the timer to turn on during lights off time, no big deal. Ill try to crack it open and get creative with the soldering iron, I bet the relay they're using has a NC terminal.
Anybody been down this route?

Does abyone know if this external turn on/off control is available in any other lower powered meanwell driver? Especially CC drivers?
