[john073]

Good Day

Has any1 used some of these strips i see they cost almost the same as the F Series Gen 3 samsung strips and give double the output lumens wise almost at 140 something lumens per watt they seem good.

Are they maybe the gen2?

 

[diyled]

I had a quick look. They are f series with a lower efficiency leds. Unspecified 2835 package led.

Yeah, 3500k is only 151 lm/W. "V-series F type", datasheet is Rev 2.1, dated 2017-11-10.

Are they still good to use seeing that they are way cheaper then the normal f series ones?

They're not though right? These are like what, $28? What are the normal f series?

Hi the normal f series give 8800 lumens per strip and these give 15000 lumens for the same price that is why im thinking of using these rather.

These are the original first generation F series strips. Not a bad price actually - about 1/2 of the cost per lumen compared to the Gen 3 strips. Cheap enough you can run them under test current for a bit more efficiency. They are also a bit longer at almost 48 inches.

Thank You, so they are good to use as well?

Yeah man. They're a better value than pretty much anything I've seen.

3200MA Max current though dayum. You can run HARD on these butches. Nearly 50V too.

 

[Airwalker16]

4-5 of those can put out 640-800 watts. That's crazy.

Yes, that is what im thinking aswell i have like 6 of these then its about 600watts

I'd pay the extra money and get the type F's, it is like the equivalent of two 23W CFL's light difference between the two units at test current.
More light= more weed.

Yeah you'd wanna run them right there at 2amps. Hlg 600-48 would work or 2 320-2100's.

Thanks ill look into that, @ANC you are from south africa right? Where do you buy your strips and stuff?

Got mine from Digikey the moment word spread that they had them, knew what was going to happen when I crunched the numbers, so I took a bunch.

Thanks how much import tax did you pay to get them here, i would kind of just want a rough number?

Thanks

I think about a 7th of the total cost was taxes and duties.
