With those big chips you only need 6 per light. Remember your going from 22.5% efficient to 55+% efficient. Cooling should be fine as long as your below the kinds original wattage. Your cobs are emitting a lot less heat too.
Yeah I gotta figure that out. I bought 8 - 1812 and 4 1818. Think the efficiency is the same?With those big chips you only need 6 per light.

Hey now that like of trash does me right. Might not be efficient but it works. I have to take the find the total heat watts to determine my heart sink size. I think I'm good but I'd like to run the numbers. That's why I was asking for the efficiency on the citizens.The k5 750 which was supposed to be a 750watt hid replacement has a whopping 94.3 par watts. Don't have to do anymore math to know that things a pile of trash. To achieve the same light output as the stock panel you'll beat it with 2 cobs so take that into consideration when building it. Let me know if you need any cree's I'll drop some off to you. View attachment 630980
Oh I don't i just like busting ballsThe clu058 1825 @1200 ma 3500k are right at 51% efficient
The clu048 1812 @650 ma 400k are 47% efficient
The 3590 @ 1400 am is closer to 56% efficient
Don't take the comment personal. The epistar in that rig is 22% efficient
