Yeah the ideal cob holders are rated for 250v max and 4 amps.its not hard to solder the wires if your dead set on the larger drivers.that new 480 is a beast plus you can dim to off where most of the meanwells only dim to like 5 or 10% power.hmmm, that's interesting because I was going to run 8 36V COBs on the the hlg 480H-C-1400b in COB holders, I'll have to look into this!!

The cob gains eff when dimmed but the driver does not.i believe that 480 driver is best run @ 240v or 208/277v
My thoughts is buy a driver you can run wide open.these dimmable drivers put out more than 100% if you leave the dim leads capped off or install a rocker switch on the dim leads so you can turn it off .thats how i did most of mine.only time i dim is when im taking a plant down for processing. Otherwise them fuckers are running 108% haha.
New to post but long time reader. Six string, you say you can "leave them capped off" or add a toggle switch. Your saying complete the circuit and cap them off together right? I'm using a hlg-150h-36b but don't need the dimmer. does the toggle need to be suited for the 36v output or the 110v input from the wall? Thanks. On my second diy with help from this feed, first dimmable driver.
16 is a goody number for me lol.all my shit is wired for 5 cobs per driver except the one shitizen panel i have and a few 4 bangers.for groups of 5 cobs use the 185-1050,its cheap and awesome.for groups of 5@ 50w per cob use the 240-1400maThat makes sense. So what driver and how many do you recommend to run 16 cobs at 35 to 40 watts?
yeah she works with him(jerry). before you do it you should contact @REALSTYLES here if you are in the usa he might be able to help as he and jerry do alot of biz together:happy:Hey Folks,
Before I go sending my hard earned cash to China I want to verify that the Kingbrite that I have been in contact with is legit.
Has anyone dealt with Vicky Song before? I see lots of references to Jerry. They gave me a quote and sent me an invoice. I am ready to order.
Thanks in advance for any info confirming or denying the validity of this purchase.

Much to my wife's dismay, I will be doing a bank transfer today after work. I went with enough cobs and pin heatsinks to run my two 4' by 4' tents separately. One tent will be getting 16 cobs powered by 1050ma. The other 4' by 4' tent will be getting 12 cobs powered by 1400ma. I also have a small clone tent that will be getting 2 cobs.
So yeah 30 cobs, 30 heatsinks, several drivers, and all the appropriate holders and adapters.
Should be a pretty interesting year.
Any final advice before I finalize payment today would be greatly appreciated.
