they do sale a kit with the dimable driver, and yes you could dim them, and then do like @ttystikk suggests and see how much light you can throw at them, just be careful, you could over power them in that space with that big light, so go slow and wait for full power , but your ppfd's would be way up the chart
i can always just do the diy route. what about doing 3x 3590's instead of 4? i'm really open at this point
I use them. In my veg, lol
I believe all of us who have been discussing cob led also use lec. I currently use one and am loving it. No harm in discussing other secondary/additional lighting to add
What do you have on your walls? How reflective is it?5x 3gal in a 3.5'x3.5' under 1x 315w Sun Systems LEC, Day 32. 2x 5gal at the back finishing up at Day 60 under 3590's.
Cheers
That's a specific type of Styrofoam insulation brand called DuroFoam, they come in 4'x8' sheets from 3/4" to 2" thick. It's meant for basement walls and floors and has one side with that reflective surface, it's around 95% and works great. I insulated, vapour barrier and then used the 3/4" sheets with the reflective side out for the "walls". I grabbed them here (Canada) at Home Depot and I think they carry it in the US as well.
I have the sun systems and have absolutely no regrets on my purchase. Get it from growers house for the best price I had seen when I bought. Can't speak on the hydrofarm no exp with it, but the phillips ballasts and bulb with the sunsytems has been good to me thus far. Easiest light I have used so far and flowering my first plant out really nicely, making me look better than I am for sure lol.
I have a couple of the Sun Systems. From a quality perspective imo the Sun Systems reflectors are the top of the line and you get what you pay for. Other than that the difference between the two is mainly around the package, the SS contains everything inside the hood, nice and neat. Many others including the hydrofarm have external ballasts which can be a good thing or a pain in the ass depending on your perspective.
I have a full dozen of the 315W CMH kits. They're bulb with a mogul socket base plus the Philips Advance square wave ballast. I got my kits for less than $200 each. I needed to cut and kit bash with a ballast cord and a vertical socket cordset. They work great!anyone try out an lec kit yet?
ive looked around for more info on those 'kits' about the ballast. are they true square wave? wanting to drop another in the room, but if i could save a couple bucks and use an existing hood, all the better.
Would you happen to have a link for this kit?? I'm on my last set of 400W Philips bulbs, and need a pair for my hood, might even put 3 in there.
How big of an area is your light covering?
