For my grow space #60cm (2'x2') I'm planning on making a DIY LED with 4 COB's. Running each at 50W for a total of 200W.
Because of the 200W, I'm thinking about the HLG-185H-C1400 (200,2W, 71V ~ 143V)
Now I'd like to get the most bang for my buck and a 3500K, 80CRI COB and came to the BXRC-35E10K0-D-73-SE
BrideLux because it saves like 10$ on the COB compared to CREE for just a little less efficiency.
Special Edition because only 0,65$ more expensive, easy to use and saves me like 2$ on a holder.
D version because it's just a little less efficient then the C version but 7$ cheaper.
My problem comes in here. I'm looking at the data sheet of the BXRC-35E10K0-D-73-SE and see i'll run with 1,4A on 36,2V.
If 4 wired in series i come to 144,8V wich is higher then the max voltage of the driver. (143V)
Although the ~, does this mean the system doesn't work?
If so, the CREE equivalent runs on like 34,8V so that'll mach the driver (139,2<143)

Seems too close for comfort for me.
3590's are maybe worth it for the efficacy at lower currents you're looking for?
Could always get an A type driver and dim ever so slightly so that your vF for the 4 Veros fits the driver as well.
You're already slightly over 50w/sq ft so you've got plenty of light.
