Gorilla tape. But may leave residue or pull paint off when removed. I plan to staple mine and use gorilla tape. There is also 3m double sided tape that has red backing. It is super strong but again will probably take paint off. It is foam like 1/32 thick. But there is also the really thin stuff...

Well its a plastic frame. Its going to flex with only 2 screws. But I did tighten mine tight. What the metal pad under it is doing idk. I feel the issue is the heatsinks are not flat. I measured a few with 0.0015 feeler gauge and seemed ok on some but I can get under on some too so I know its...

So heat is not helping but I went ahead and removed the excess PK-3 and screwed back down. I was going to post that I wish I had gone with dif heatsink that would allow 4 screws or that I should have mounted them at an angle to use 4 screws even with corners hanging off (might still be better...

This is what I am talking about. It is clear im first pic that the cob is floating on the PK-3. This one is a bit better but still clear its not even. Possibly would spread on its own once they heat up. I think once I get the hole fixture warm and respread the PK-3 and screw back down...

Ya. I think the terms were my problem I will retry with it warmer and hopefully will wirk better. Think the pass just needs to stay warmer and as u said the heatsinks being cild just sucked the heat out if the paste and vero making the paste stiffer/harder/thicker whatever. Will crank the heat...

So I was working on my light and had ussues with the prolimatech PK-3. Problem was it was too cold (60*F in basement) andI was being chinsy with it as I didnt want to run out as had 15 vero29s to do. I am also using only two screws because alpine 11 is too small. I did polish the alpine 11s but...

Ive got approx 450cuft room split into veg and flower so pretty small. Tried to do sealed room but not working and still in veg and smell getting out. About to add more lights so would either have to use ac or exhast vent to deal with heat. Using diy cob leds (cxa3070s, vero 10s and 29s) so...

I am going to get self tapping 4-40 x 3/8" screws. But is it OK to use 410SS into alum because not in salt water so no issues? I dont expect issues with high humidity...again. Or should I stick with zinc plated hardened steal. I assume so...ordered from grainger so no shipping but might not...

So ur sucking from inside grow room and blowing exhaust outside grow room with ozone generator? Tried to do a sealed room but think im just going to carbon filter maybe ozone generator in exhaust to adjacent unfinished room. Dont think I will need AC. Using Cxa3070 and vero 10 and 29s so heat...

I have never been able to find 6pt ratcheting wrenches. What is 7 splined?

I have drilled and taped before but ya my tap is clogging worse than I though and will end up just gumming thing up so done.. Im not sure what to get: This...

Ya, I was hoping it would squeeze out when warm to cover 1-2mm around edges that it doesn't reach. Took your advice and I will remove the MK-4 and ordered some PK-3. Hope it gets here soon.

FYI, I didnt want to overpay at lowes for 3mm screws so I went with #4-40 and they also have a 4-40 tap with the right size drill bit for $5. I didnt have a 3mm-0.5 tap either and would have had to buy a set for more money ($15 at HF or $25 at lowes). #6-32 also fits nice but I cannot find my...

So when you angle the vero 29 on the arctic 11 so that the 4 mounting holes line up with the flat part of the wedge, two of the corners of the metal pad on the bottom of the Vero 29 overhand the wedge on the heatsink so will not have any active cooling. Ya, not a big deal probably, but I think...

What about the pre applied thermal compond? If use all 4 holes the square pad on back of vero29 won't like up with the orientation of the preapplied thermal compound. Or will the thermal compound spread ince hot then I tighten down screws a bit more? Or should u remove the arctic MX-4 that...

Anyone done vero 10s vertical? I thought I might use some of my last ten 5k V10s vertical on the edge of the room. I could hang each at an angle close to canopy but it would be easier to mount them a few inches off the wall where I dont have to worry about adjusting them as much.

Just FYI Jamco will be shipping 2/5/14

I have had to keep mine at least 12" above the canopy. With dimmers that might change, IDK. EDIT 99: FAILED Not worth reading as not going to make cone reflectors anymore... I wasnt sure if I could tig weld flashing and I cannot. My first time welding was the vero10 lamp so sort of new to...

Radon pipe goes out the wall and up side of house and vents outside but not going to do that... Will just install exhaust to outside. Didnt want to but think its the only option. You paid $70? Need a price tracker for this stuff. I decided to get 10 so would be $59. When I ordered it looked...

Thanks, good info. Did you order HLG-185H-C1400A? Maybe all set and just cause was a Friday or maybe meanwell has a backlog. I cant go to flower until I get them so hope they come. At same time cant go to flower until I figure out odor control. But they are starting to get fairly big. I...
