Originally, Z4 was the top bin for CXA3070 3K 80 CRi. I ordered 100 Z4s from Arrow and received ABs for the Z4 price. That was a welcome surprise. Then they updated the PDF and AB became the new top bin. But the CXA3590 did not receive the same upgrade and BD remained the top bin for 3K 80 CRi. But the same thing happened, a 50 pack of BDs popped up on Arrow and the buyer received CBs. But the CXA3590 PDF was never updated and we have not seen any CBs since.

Can an average Joe off of the street make an account at Arrow? It asks for a company name during registration, do you have a business in order to have an account there?

I just made one up. If your money is green you can call yourself shitbrick inc and they wont bat an eyelash.
They did call me a week later though to thank me and ask me if i was satisfied with my purchase. Nosy little guys.

Bringing this back from the dead. After booting out the ex, I am finally ready to start this project.
Gonna go with a 4x4 veg/mother tent, and a 5x5 flower tent.
How many cxb3590 5000k cobs for the veg/mama tent? How many cxb3590 3500k cobs for the 5x5 tent? Im not too worried about cooling.
Thanks again for the help!

I think you could get away with just 4 or so 5000k for veg (I'm planning on 2 in about half that area) and then between 12-20 3500k for the 5x5 (I'm going with 15 for 4x4) but depends what you're gonna run them at (I plan to run mine at up to 76w each)

Would 16 3590 cobs at 49 watts each be good for 25 sqft?

It'd be over the recommended bottom limit of 30w per sqft yea, should do great

Ok, I will get 20 of them then!

So an HLG-185H-C1400 driver can power 4 cxb3070 or 4 cxb3590 at about 50 watts each, right?

Yes if CXB3590's are 36v variety.

Im going with a 5x5 for my veg, how many watts of 5000k do I need for 25 sqft? Tent is ordered, soil is cooking, finally getting this ball rolling!

For 30w per sqft you will need 750 watts

I need that many watts for veg?

No you don't need that many for veg sorry I didn't realize it was a veg light you were building my bad. I am not sure what the recommended watts/sqft are for veg but I am sure you could easily get away with half or even less depending on how big you want to veg your plants.

It's 10-20watt per sq/ft 10 is slow 20 is regular 30 or more will grow the fastest.
