Cree are $44usd vs $20usd for Vero.
8 COBs requires 2 drivers with the aforementioned setup.
2 banks of 4 COBs.

Its true CREE is overpriced these days, the competition will end up killing them off if they dont lower prices.

Anyway you guys should check alibaba instead of digikey.

Got multiple quotes for Vero 29 C gen 7 chips (the more efficient version compared to the D) for $21.50 each...

and quoted $10.50 for Citizen 1212s...

Digikey seems overpriced...

I use futerelectronics. They're about $9 a cob cheaper if you don't mind buying 50 at a time. Not sure the shipping from china but I get $7 shipping (free over $250) from future.

Oh nice, I thought it was just under 4 cobs on a 185, obviously runs then .

Would it be better to have 12 veros running on 3 drivers (4 each on a 185/1400) or 2 drivers (6 each on a 320/1400)?

As a side note. You CAN drive 4 Vero D series with one HLG-240h-C1750.
Tested. Draws 189w at cold start and 224w after 2 hours with SST120 sinks. I will run a 12hr test tonight.

I should have my new frame built this weekend, 5 chips per 250h-c1400. I'll have the little ac displays running to show watts, I'll hook meter up to double check the displays. Hey JimmyJames905, I got mq500 in today, but they left it outside in monsoon. $500 sitting in the rain. Ups is supposed to pick it up tomorrow, I told them I don't want wet, make em replace it. That's 2nd time ups has done that to me, 1st was muzzle loader that sat outside for 6 days in the snow.

Damn Buckshot that sucks!
Maybe you'll be comforted in knowing you're not the only one lol.
They left $600 wide band on the fence and my dog destroyed it. Then did it again with a light!

37-38USD Vero $24 USD where I buy. Still highly prefer the Cree for efficiency if they can be afforded

Another side note....Using a HLG-240H-C1400 you can drive 5 Crees at a full 1400mA for 245 watts but you can only drive 4 veros at 1400 ma with it. You can run 5 but the driver runs 7 volts shy so you only get 199 watts with 5 veros vs the 245 watts with the 3590's.

5 vero 29's on a 240-1400??? The driver runs out of voltage by 7 volts...It will do 5 crees at 1400mA for 240+ watts but you wont hit 1400mA with 5 veros. You will only get 199 watts from that setup. You will only get 40w per chip bro.
