Why 3000k and 4000k? Why not mix 3 and 5?

Not enough red in 5k my guess

 

[Nugachino]

I was more thinking if its got channels. To have the 5000k as the veg side. And 3000k as the flower side.

4000k peaks about the same in both red and blue.

We can make the board in any 2 colours of Samsung leds you would like, we are just starting with this mix as it seems the most solid combo based on all the data we have

Equal amounts of 3000 and 4000 should give you an average cct of 3500k which we know grows, during veg you would run 4000k hard and underdrive 3000k giving you a blue peak around 3800K, some red but not significant, when you flip, reverse the mix to get down to 3200k and then punch in the 660's. Off course you can could run a 5000k,2700k scenario as well which widens the blue/red spectral range, all are possible

Awesome

So is there some kind of waitlist? Will there be any options to get some far red in there?

Boards are resistor loaded for current balancing, no issues with mixed vf bins of different leds so no current hogging

Only resistors at each string or does the board have some kind of current balace/mirror circuit? Do they have an over-current protection or resettable breakers/fuses?

You can have all those features... but are you willing to pay the extra $10-20 a board to make it happen?

The board has resistors that current balance the circuit, these balance out the led forward voltage

the board comes with deep red only at this point

I'm starting to get alittle morning wood.

I'm starting to get alittle morning wood.

Thanks for sharing :/

 

[welight]

just did a live test with 3 boards, around 500 watts, up on instagram for 24 hours instagram name is weledlight
cheers

loaded PCB after test, housing concept

no fan?

 

[welight]

no fan?

not required, no real heat, 3 boards in series at 500 watts and only hit 47C on the top of the board with not heatsink at all, with a passive we will like be around 25-30C

Cheers
Mark

 

[CobKits]

500W total or 500W per board?

 

[HalfBee]

Is the housing model for 1 board or the 3 in series you mentioned?
Looks like it was designed with convection currents in mind for passive.
