Yeahh, $3.50/month is alot better than my $25+ for the MH, AND the 15-20 for the AC unit, fan's and the 1.5g of water that evaporates every day...

Actually, I am working with a manufacture of Industrial lighting, using Bridgelux chips and Meanwell drivers. We see real good potential from the Multi-chip LED technology. No more having a whackload of individual LED's. The prototype has chips, 1.5"square +250W MH output with apprx 60-75W consumption. Time will tell

I would shift away from the meanwell, not as good as we thought they were, but they were all you could get then that was deicent. but a lot of blowen arays because of meanwells.

Ohh really?? Crap. cause we just got a large shipment of them. They are better than the Shenzhen drivers we were initially getting supplied

just add some protection from inrush current and you'll be fine with them.

I am not familer with the Shenzhen, I am looking at using the TR drivers so I have two drivers and no more. I think the ugly thing about the LED arays is the 6 or 8 drivers you have to try hide so I am using ones with enough power that I can use 1 for the blue and one for the white.
