Also since i hung my new light up. I was able to get the old light down and tinker with it and it seems 4 bars of led are connected to 2 drivers. Series of 2 bars to each driver. My middle bars were the ones that burned out and i disconnected them and connected to a 143v 700ma driver and 3 of the bars are lighting up. Normally they run at 75watts each and with these drivers the total pull from the wall is 88 watts. Of course i am sure there are losses due to driver etc. so it seems acceptable to run them with these. I have 2 of these drivers, so extra 160 watts of grow light should be a nice touch wouldn’t you say? I will try it after this grow ends.
Also my cob is running really hot eventhough it is mounted on a big heatsink. It is messing with the lifespan for sure. So i will dismantle the fans from this old fixture and mount one at the heatsink. That will be done tomorrow.
