Just had to take it apart and put it back together so I can make a video. That kinda sucked
Lighting KIND K3 DIY Retro Build

There is no time for delays here lol what's the progress? Have you converted all your kinds get? Are you going to send kind a link to your build?

Has don't know how to do that but it would be great. Haven't converted any k 5 yet lol. Been busy trying to catch up with fastbuds grow comp. I did get the driver in so I'll open one back up.
Forget the comp you have lights to build homie.

I know I'm falling way behind. I have a great idea for the k5s 750 lol
Don't feel like digging to see if I posted it here but check out bud industries. They sell all sorts of different sized aluminum boxes and what they call chassis. Perfect for mounting cobs.
Could pick up some less expensive drivers that are capable of running a few cobs and save the kinds

Yeah the ones in the kinds are 40v@1180ma. Might just keep those and modify the cover. I'm pretty good at cutting metal lol. I just don't want to drop $$$$ on cobs that'll be half price in two months. I like the chart @pop22 had with the citizen /Cree cobs.
Hey BigSm0, could you explain what is chassis, aluminium boxes? English is not my first language but I cannot find here in EU proper cheaper heatsinks for multiple COBs. Only Arctic Alpine and other computer heatsinks with fans - but this is not "economical" because I would need 6 of those - it would be mess in my tent with all those wires.

How about this question @BigSm0 @pop22. If your driver has let's say 199volts and you have 4 cobs like the citizenclu48, would that many work? Since they have 47min/57max what determines how much volts one takes? You follow me? They would work if they only take a 49 volts but wouldn't if they took 50 volts. Just wondering if it would work and what determines the voltage?
It depends on wattage. Harder you push them, bigger the voltage. CREE has calculator on their site, for Citizen I don't know.
LEDs are best regulated by controlling the current through them. Controlling the voltage across them can lead to excessive current flow and possibly killing the LED.
