Ultimately I would love to be able to find the hangers from an HPS unit.. I have checked eBay and have found none.. If I do not find any I will get steel Cable like we get with the LED units and crimp my own.. Should be cheap at harbor freight

I used 10 gauge solid copper for the end of the heatsinks. bent in a 6'' V shape got it even thru holes drilled in the H.S. it holds it. the old hps hanger would be a step up in appearance.
going to use the adjustable pull strings too. like used on hps to raise and lower. have you used them before? and how good do they hold up?

Have to have something on the light or fixture to clip them to, but the ratcheted rope style hangers work great. I use a pair of Apollo Horticulture GLRP18 hangers to hang a piece of electrical conduit bar across my closet, then hang my LED's with the cable hangers that came with them from the bar. I also have another pair of smaller gauge rope hangers I got from the local grow shop that I can use to hang one of the light from the bar to lower it independently of the other.
Can do some creative stuff with 'em....

I've found a driver/COB combination that I can't decide if it would work. Seems to me it is so close to being "on the line" for the combination that I'm just not 100% sure. I'm thinking that with running them at 1.05A they would need a little less than the full 36V (from watching the vids where he talks about this) that's listed in the specs, but not sure if it would be by enough. Anyhow...it's got me feeling like there's a good chance it would NOT drive four of them, but that it just might. So wanted to see if others could double check me.
Would like to know if y'all think this driver:

Would fire up and run four of these COB's:

Check cutter for cobs, they have the 90 cri t2 cxb2530 for $13 each. A bin lower but 90cri has the better spectrum.

But no, that driver would not run those cobs. Your forward voltage would be 36.5v each at 50℃.
Cree has a helpful tool for voltages and efficiencies.

Now 6x cxb2530s t2 or higher would work on this driver. You get like 2,000 lumens extra for the same watts going this way too, but need 6 cobs per driver.

For budget consider just 3070s. They can be ran at twice the watts of 2530s and provide better efficiency. One cxb3070 3000k AD at 2.1A puts out more light than 2x cxb2530 3000k t4 at 1.05A each.
Thats pushing it Ozone, might work but chance it might not also, cxb2530s are rated at 800mA so 1A will raise the voltage some. Ive got 2530's right now running at 700mA and I like them there. If you go up to 30's or 35 cobs youd probably be ok tho.
