Lol. I'd be putting solar panels on the sides to run my dryer.

Where on their site is the tool?
I would love to see what you come up with on the cxb "killers".You wanting me to compare the same setup in my room with the "cob killer"?
Man, that really isn't a calculator I dont think. I'm playing with it now
My phone seems to have some issues on refreshing stuff in the mobile app. Sometimes theres nothing for hours then boom, 10 new replies. Smh :-}Hi Seymore:
Good Read, I am subbed in.
My first DIY cob.
I primarily went with the CLU048-1212C4-353H6K2 because I got them at a great price an I liked the spectrum.
My whole build including the control panel was under $350.00.
MEAN WELL HLG-185H-C1400B 1400mA $54.00 x 2 = $108.00
Mean Well RT 50b $22.00
Mouser
ARCTIC Alpine 64 GT Rev. 2 8x$8.00= $64.00
Amazon
CLU048-1212C4-353H6K2 $10.30 x 8= $82.10
Ebay
Misc. ~$46.00
Well I went a little crazy with the control panel. It is automated by an Arduino Uno; so I came in at around $350.00 for 385 watts. that is just under 50 watts per cob.
I am using an Arduino Uno computer to control the COBs, Cob heatsink fans, the exhaust fan, the far red SemiLeds and the CO2 flow valve for my grow tent. Basically it turns the lights off/on along with the heatsink cooling fans on whatever schedule I want 12/12, 18/6, 20/4 starting at whatever time I want. example = turn the lights on at 2:00pm then off at 8:00am the next morning for an 18/6. Then during the lights on period I can turn off the exhaust fan and inject CO2 until the tent starts to get too warm from the lights then turn the exhaust back on and cool the tent back down. It repeats this cycle until 30 minutes or so prior to lights out. Then at lights out it turns on the 730nm (far red) LEDs for 15 minutes to take advantage of the phytochrome cycle putting the plants to sleep right away. The AC devices are controlled via the SSR-25-da solid state relays and the 12v dc devices are controlled via the small optically isolated relays in the lower middle of the cabinet. I know it seems like a waste of CO2 to run it like that but it is such a small tent (3x3x5) that I can run a complete grow on a 10# tank of CO2 @ a calculated 1500 PPM. So it only costs about $18 for gas.
Happy building
Digikey for COBs. Get the D series Vero 29's
Mouser for the drivers. Try the HLG 2100mA ones.
Northern Grow lights for the heatsinks. Use the 136mm fin pin heatsinks.

Can you control this uno via wifi or how does it work? Its not like one of these weather or sunset simulators right?
So you go for 3x how many watts on what size? 200W driver aye? I am confused. Thought u were on COBs before. So many new names and faces on here, so sorry. Downloaded a lx meter app too. I will put my S7 on the screen and look what i get full blast. I am at 272Watts on the 6 Clus at max power of the Meanwell rated for 250W and 30W from both veros at about 16 inches to 18 inches.Right now it's under 8 lamp T5HO. For a light that's marketed as a "Grow Light" the T5 only puts out 6500 Lux.
The HLG-185 will be here Monday.
