Hi all, sorry for interrupting need any pro advice to be sure before I ask for refund...

ordered 4x CXB 3590 from Kingbrite and received this: is it me or it should be bigger? they are about 27mm and should be more aound 34mm right?
No way these are CBX3590 CD Bin 36v as ordered?

Thank you for your time

Better pics with the cob out of the package would help.he is not known to do this to people are you sure you communicated properly with them? And im wondering what type of ruler that is because inches and mm dont line up that nicely lol

Also you can go to cree website and look up cxb3590 and it will give all the dimensions up,down,horizontal total width,all of it.

yeah sorry, assumed it was inches on top (this is right) and cm on bottom (should have realized they aligned all too well..)the bottom are inch seperations...

If you were a kid in catholic school, you'd have a complex!

Yeah I was looking at that ruller trying to figure out the scale it looks like one that measures font sizes?
Don't feel embarrassed I am an old guy Who Has Never Made The Switch From Imperial! so that should be about 1.34 inches.

This citi calculator may help you decide/compare at least, just pick the cob and enter the power

Its in bggrass signature, 2nd file. I couldnt attach it because its a java file

Have you seen the videos on YouTube "DIY LED Basics" by @Growmau5 if not this is a great place to start building your ideas for your own DIY Cob light. I think he has reference to just the charts you seek in one of these vids.

Happy building!

Aluminum tape might be better than the kapton. Nice idea.
Yeah I have more control now than I used to, and bud instead of Budweiser means less holes.
I dont like Budweiser as my beer choice, but it rhymed.

Gorilla glue double sided tape. Holds that 4.6 hog in the Air when lifted by fans only. Also can hold drivers and COBS. Bitch to remove, just took some off a 50Vero running 1750.

I have a light already and have been researching this for well over a year. I was just wondering if I could add a cob to what I have. Thanks!

Giaint:
I clearly do not understand what you are asking? Please take it from the top. What do you have now. what do you want to add and why? Pictures may be helpful.
