Lighting Quick driver question

[Royalroacho]

I'm upgrading a little veg light I made for some clones, I've got 2 5700k 1212s running on an hlg 120 48a, which im replacing with 3500k 1818s. Ive got a bunch of Chinese drivers laying around with an output voltage of 50-70v, will both 1212s run off one?

Also, in an unrelated topic, i just found a purple pheno in a patch of regular clover, and tranplanted it...

Holy crap! I opened my package of the 2 1818s from cobkits, and they sent 3! I am unreasonably excited.

Got a pic of the name plate on the drivers?

They're 50-70v, 650-700ma. The 2 1212s would need 72v, but I think they have +-10% margin? I'm pretty sure it should work, but don't wanna drill and tap the heatsink and get thermal grease all overmyself in case I'm wrong

With that low of amperage there probably only pulling 34-35v..you should be fine...
SHOULD being the key word.. There are graphs on citizens web page that show how much voltage is pulled at any given amperage.. I would say ur good buddy..

I'm finishing it up now, I'll post a pic when it's done. I'm gonna donate them to my mom, her veggie garden got raided by deer.
I'm thinking I'll set up some coco for her, i bet hydro would blow her mind lol
