Makes perfect sense. I'm confident in meanwell and the specs being under rated is the same as the rest.This is the reply that I received from CobKits about the driver in question https://cobkits.com/product/meanwell-hlg-185h-48a-driver/
"They run about 220W max tuned all the way up. Data sheets are down rated. If you go to Mean Well's site you can click on the actual test reports and see that driver does 4.25A @ up to 53.5V which is fine as long as you have any sort of ventilation at all i.e. not mounted in another insulated box"
So apparently this driver will put out more snoose than the numbers initially seem to indicate so I'm satisfied with my choice. I was going to start building today but my parts didn't ship until yesterday. I'm a little disappointed but more impatient than anything. Pipes
I hear you on the shipping part too. Super delays all week. I shipped a cob 2 day mail should have been delivered 1-6 and it said to deliver 1-10
