DIY Grow Light Electrical Questions

Hello rollitup growing community, I have just finished my first set of DIY grow lights. Its a simple setup for a 2x3 or 2x2 grow box. I am using an HLG-185H-C1400B driver, currently 2 Cree CXB3950's and some cheap but silent Alpine fans on two separate heat sinks. My driver runs at an operation voltage of 71V-143V at 1400mA, no dimming is currently connected. I should mention that the cobs are the 36V version too. I am slightly uncertain about what this operation voltage means. Will the driver automatically figure out the correct operating voltage for the two cobs(~72V)? Or is there something else I must do. The cobs are connected in series. The lights turn on and everything seems to be working fine, I just don't want to be doing something wrong and risk burning out the expensive cobs XD. Any guidance/reassurance would be dope!
