each driver will push 217 watts per bank(5 cobs) so 437 rated watts..this is the stated value,i do not have a means to take an actual rating

thanks bro!! but those numbers come from the site..That same driver could push three 1818/1812 cobs at 75.3 watts but that would bring the efficiency wayyy down..it could also push 6 of the same cobs at 35.9 watts and have a bit better efficiency that my build,or i could add one more to each later on,,i could also redo the whole thing into two 6 cob lamps with one driver each..cobs are a gateway drug,i think i need help !!!
