Discuss COBs or any other types of LEDs that don’t fit the other categories (Cree, Citizen, Migro, etc.).

Voltage reported are measured putting multimeter in the two output wires of power supply with cobs connected and turned on.

Solved.
I have done a mistake on led wiring..
With correct series circuit, with 100% of dimmering i have 160+237w=397w

Now i have set all cobs to 75w, so i use 375w in total for light.

It's a good setting for these cobs in your opinion?
Look like a big sun eheheh!

Thanks to all for help!

I am glad you figured it out.
May I ask you where did you get the Luminus cxm cobs?
