@mikey2017 During flower around 16-18”. If it seems too close raise them a little wouldn’t go to much closer the power of the cob could start to dry out the resin. During seedling and early veg up around 24-30”. That’s a sweet upgrade. I wanna convert my viparspectra 600.

How many cobs could this driver handle? I've got 7x citizen 1212's 36v available and a 60x60x140 space, any ideas would be great

That driver is good for 100 watts. You can run as many as you want but I’d probably go with 3 cobs. For this you would wire the cobs in paralell. This will divide the 2.8 amps across the number of cobs you choose.
3 cobs would give .93amps each.
4 cobs would give .7amps each
5 cobs would give .56 amps each

I would go with 3-1812’s or 3-1818’s. I use the 1812 as it’s more efficient than the 1212 and I like the fact it’s a higher voltage cob. Instead of powering the 36v harder to hit 50 watts at 1400ma you can take an 1812 and drive it at 1050 for 50 watts.

In this case 4-1212’s would be 100 watts
3-1812’s would be 105 watts. You pay a bit more for the 1812’s but you need less to hit 100watts. It washes out and you end up with a better light with the 1812.

How much would 3 1818s and holders run me.
