Good day

So i currently have a 300w samsung led strip grow going for a test bagseed working good, and will be keeping that for my veg area but i want to build the following light was thinking of doing led strips for this but the veros look so good. I dont want to use the led drivers as they are expensive, i know they are power efficient but i dont pay for power currently so does not matter to me.

I want to use the following for my build, if anyone has some advice i would be greatfull.

12 x Vero® SE 29 Array Cobs on Intel Cpu Coolers And that will go onto an aluminium Frame

4 x Meanwell LRS-350-36 to power the 12 cobs, im thinking 3 cobs per power supply so that i dont overload the driver, i know the cobs will use 36.6v each so will just tweak the power supply to there it should handle it

1 x Meanwell LRS-150-12 to power the 12 cpu fans that will be cooling the cobs

Will this work?

I have my 3 led strips which are 48v running on 1 x LRS-350-48 currently at 48v and it works good no probs.

Thanks

I don't see why that wouldn't work. You should be able to drive 3 cobs per driver at up to 116W each. Not familiar with the vero29, so you should make sure they can handle that kind of drive current.

Edit: just checked the datasheets. You will have just enough voltage adjustment to run them at the max current of these drivers. The chips themselves can handle it as long as you can keep them cool.

Yeah i wont run them at max, ill just run them at 36v or something like that or i can even put 4 per power supply aswell 2A each and then still 1A left
