Ok so ive been reading multiple threads and come to the conclusion i may be about to ovepower my area.
currently i am doing 16 cxb3590 withe 4 hlg 240 1750. Is there a more efficienty way of using less drivers? Im using a switch to have 8 on during veg and turn the other 8 for flower.

In a 4x4 it will be overkill, i have 16 @1400ma and its probably still overkill, i run mine on 4 drivers so i can turn off a few in veg or also dim, i havent had a harvest yet im about to flip shortly so ill see how it goes.

Very happy with the set up. ill just keep it at a distance i already pulled the trigger and have the other 2 drivers i have a room rigtht next to that one that is same set up.Question here is it overkill for 12 inchs from canopy or if i have 16 with 1750 i can keep it at 24 inches or higher and be ok?

I'm running 6 COBs at 1400 and need to stay 16" away. So I would say 20".. be careful with all that light!
