I have an old mars 300w and want to reuse drivers.

  1. Can anyone suggest what would be the best led/cob to reuse the drivers I have. I have a 3000k QB for flower and would like a nice veg light. If anyone could help. I'm handy and good with making things just ain't that clued up on led and cobs 20191228_215111.jpg 20191228_214943.jpg

  2. 0.63 amps? Man, that seems too low for all the QBs I see out there, unless I'm confused. I have a 48v - 1.9 amp driver for just two small supplement strips.

  4. Better off using the light as is for veg tent.
     
  5. Yeah sorry I already have a hlg 240 48ab 3000k 660nm led for flower . Could I use these 2 drivers and run dome cobs or some strips? I want a veg light but not too clued up with what to get .

  7. You might be able to run some blue supplements to add to your 3000k boards, but the drivers for those are like $6 anyway. It really seems like a waste of time to me. Just veg under the HLG. Should work fine.

  8. You dont need cobs for veg, you could use cfls t5/t8/t12 bulbs, regular old school light bulbs, pretty much amything, your old mars300 would do better tho.
     
  9. Those are strictly for his flower tent. Hes looking for a veg light, hes already got it tho. Unless he destroys it for parts to something that wouldnt work.
     
  10. I only ask as I have heard/ seen people use cxb3590 cobs and citizen 1212 cobs I just can't find the post and I thought someone on here would know . My mars is still in 1 piece I might just use that .. but I would rather a white spectrum light
