Lighting Lighting advice for veteran grower

[Dr.Bubbles]

We are here to help my friend. We can get you ALL set from exactly what u need, to the best places to get it, to general questions, to advanced electrical questions. Overall, its child play for wiring. You only got about 7-10 wires to connect. Gotta put a plug on the end of the Mean Well for the AC side, gotta wire up 2 wires for the dimmer that is cake, and finally the V+ and V- DC off the driver, which is the Meanie....Basically like a ballast for LEDs. And Mean Well makes the best ones in the industry. They also have 7 year warranty, and the COBs will last at least that long as well. Its VERY popular with the AFN crew these days. Seems we get all least 4 or 5 a week making the switch.

Okay that doesnt seem to hard at all!

So how many plants would i be able to do with a cob? Is a cob only one light or is it multiple lights in one panel?

I guess the best way to put it is...using a COB how many zips could i get in a 3x3 area? I know its all strain and grow dependent blah blah. I just want an example of gr/watt or any type of something to help me get an idea exactly of what it can do
