@BigSm0 what do u think about going one 6500 and one 3000. Or two 3000 If that’ll work for @mikey2017

As long as they beat these blurples I'll be easy to please..lol

I like the 6500 for veg and some for flower while the 3000 does the work I believe the 6500 helps with extra frost and greasiness. Ya know I’m nature they say the blues r from the early spring sun and it’s angle creating more of a blue light. And in fall the sun gets closer to the 3000k range. But I think as good as nature is if u could add the blues when nature can’t why not.

You would need 3 cobs and 3 holders. You will definitely do better. You are using 20% efficient incomplete spectrum lights. Cobs deliver 2.5 times the light per watt and are a true full spectrum. I wouldn’t mix the cob spectrums. Plenty do it without problems but they do have a slight difference in voltages.

So how many watts.or what would I need and a rough price

Could i make decent light still with these smaller cobs?

For sure!
I have 6 of them on my fixture, driven at 1.05 A.

Excellent news would this driver be compatible for them?

Yes, at around 0.47A each. So around 15-16W each.
But that driver is only 88% efficient... I have HLG which is 94%.

If i brought the citizens CLU048 1212's would they run more efficient with that driver?
