hey im setting up a grow light a 9 cob setup and i just wanted to make sure i was doing it right. i was gonna order 9 cxb3590 72 volt versions and 3 HLG-240H-C1050 . still trying to decide on the layout if i should do 3 seperate long heatsinks with 3 cobs each or if i should do a square layout in an enclosure with heat sinks inside but that would be harder because id have to get some metal work done. more then just the heat sinks would cost. thanks for you opinions.

I took multiple heatsinks and attached them together to create a rectangle, which I found to work best for spread and even canopy. You could do 9"x3 =27" long x 5.66" wide X 3 = 18" x 27" add 3" spacers and you have a square. easy to build and modular too.

The heatsinks fins are closely spaced making it very difficult to bolt together. Spacers round hollow tubing spaces them apart and you can minimize drilling

Three heatsinks 5.66"w x 27" l bolted together is 18" x 27" add a few spacers and it would be 27 x 27 square

That is the front those diodes are far red. I will be adding some deep red as well. Yes there are four heat sinks. In the end there will be six heat sinks
