Its gonna be a 2x8 space. Maybe 2 4x8 rooms to try different colors or cri's. Any suggestions? Would the 120mm be enough cooling?

What wattage is most efficient for 1212's?

i dont sell 120mm anymore for clu048, only 133mm
133mm would definitely cool 2 chips at 20-25W each well. they would be cool to touch

So would it make sense to use 60 1212's at 10 watts each to light 4 x4 ? I'm talking Gen5's.

Can the gen 5 and gen 6 1212 chips be run together on the same controller?

not advisable in parallel due to different Fv. with a bunch of cobs (12+) not that big of a deal but you might see 10% difference in flux from cob to cob.. if you were gonna do that do a checkerboard style pattern of mixing em up for uniform light to canopy

hey cobkits.
ok, so ive decided to just use 4 Luminus cxb22's, with the 600H-54B. in a 2x2 tent.
I want to run them at 55 watts each to 85ish for flower.
So only using 220 watts,
What are the drawbacks from this setup please.
should probably add, I will be using a Zigbee wifi controller. It allows me to sunrise/sunset simulation. So actually, the watts will be very very low early in the day and late in the day.

youre paying for 3 times more driver than youre using, thats about it
240 or 320 would be a better fit

i paid $120 for the driver, a 320H is $140 alone, plus, i can crank it up to 400 watts if i want, and cant with, " just enough"..
ok, just making sure. Im ordering next week for the lights and heat sinks and such from u, so again, thanks man for your help.

Hey Cobkits. OK< decided to go with 2x185H-1400B for the 4 Luminus cxm22..
LOL< After crunching measurements, I cant fit a 600H into my build box. Plus, it will be much easier to hook up, because I think with the 600H, Id have to hook up fuses per light to resist the max input per cob. So would of put in 2amp fuses if i ran that route.
But anyways, this will be much better, like you said before.
wouldnt have enough room, because Im also putting in 2 fans to suck the heat from the COBs, up thru my build, so need another 12-12 driver for those, needed one anyways to run my GrowMau night puck.
Then need a Sonoff for the Puck, while using the zigbee for the lights. The fans sucking the air from the cobs will be ran 24/7.
I have alot to fit into kinda small area.
What size wire you recommend for all the wiring?
Just trying to have the most correct plan inplace before ordering wrong sht.

not the best fit on voltage, bit will work. youre leaving almost 40% of the drivers unused
no reason to do that

@CobKits im a total noob in diy ( friend did my 4x cree 3590) , i have this in double from my previous time i tried to make one (wrong drivers and 2 cxb 3590 that i wasn't needed... not your well prepared type of guy..)
I wanted to know if this driver is enough for a single qb280?
Can i use the 2 cxb with this driver??
Also looking at the cmx22 passive light engine on your site, can i use 4 of them with a hlg 186h-c1400b? If not wich driver should i use?? Thanks

no its a 36V driver, board needs close to 50
yes
no, hlg-185-48A would work tho.

back to this, you cant just "crank 4 luminus up to 100W each" on a 54B driver. voltage will limit you to 80-85W

ok, I came up with 99
thats why i come here, lol..
i thought it was 55volts maxx1.800=99
anyways, going the 185H route, i think,lol
