Lighting Help!!!!! My COBs are barely lit!!!!

I don't mean to sound like a dick but you could also ask the guy you bought them from. That would have been the first thing I did.
 
Who do I ask...Lol? Arrow? My friend? My setup didn't exactly come with instructions. My driver came in a plain cardboard box. So not exactly like calling Cobshop.Net. So I figured it out. My latest cob is my badass cob on a gooseneck. This light came mounted on a 133mm pinfin anodized heat sink. With a BJB. I checked the output V from the Meanie, right at 238. That was a relief. I checked the current. Spot on. Driver is great. So the problem was the BJB on the pinfin which I didn't attach. All is about to be well, and I just fired up the other 3. The babies have been under 120w of 1818s on a HLG-120-48a in parallel. So they are in great company. That's why I took my time. I wasn't super worried about the light, as I was about the Phistos. All is good, and they were only in the dark for about 8 or 9 hours. Thanks for the words of encouragement and pointing in the right direction. Troubleshooting only took about 8 mins. Have a good one guys....doper buddy 5 stack Cob smoke

Also, I ordered some grow gear from Amazon to be delivered on Friday. I got it on Thursday, so that was the Happy Friday post on Thursday. Lol. Stupid Amazon and DHL. HAPPY SATURDAY now.

Hey!
Glad to hear it worked out for you!
You beat me to the meter bit. I was going to ask you to start checking voltages, etc. Series circuit and all it only takes one wonky bit to bring the rest down. You found it and now all is well. Nice job!!
