I hope I don't roast any of mine! Even if it weren't 20 xl2 and 105 5w diodes, would it still be beneficial to add a few strips of these various chips, or would the results be neglibile for the amount of time and aggravation it will take to mount and wire all of them
I am going to contact my friend at rapidled again. He has a few different far red and royal blue supplemental kits. 2' and 4' with heat sink included. He also has the xlamps available. I'd love to mimic this Amare with my diy setup.
I suspect I could dismantle the 120 LED Mars Hydro 600 panel...
I will be building my fixture in a week or so. I will definitely have enough cobs to cover my space very well. After checking out this Amare thread, I am curious how important the additional 20 Cree xlamps and 105 blue/red/IR LEDs are in the overall setup.
I would be interested in adding my...
Wow friends,
This mystery plant is filling in so nicely! So many tops, and somehow I've managed to keep the canopy very even! Not bad for a total NOOB!! lol
Hopefully the luck continues with the babies! They are growing fast as well and will be ready to top their final time tomorrow or the...
From what I hear, they will need new optics holders and lead times are high. I think they look like an awesome item to get in. Everyone wants the easiest most streamlined process.
He's getting me 6 of those 140x70mm pin heatsinks and the 320h driver 1400 shipped for about $215, CA to New England. Those things are heavy too. It's cool that he's in the U.S and a one stop shop.
So far I'm at about $375 for COBs, Driver and Heatsinks. My frame should be $20-$30. I should...
I am getting the SE version with the poke-in wire connectors. This should be the simplicity of the Cree but without the need for an additional holder. I will grab some wago connectors for the driver connections and 18 guage wire for between the COBs. Other than that, the only things I can...
Love this light man! Your wiring looks very professional. I'm hoping to mimic the wiring setup you use here when I build mine in a week or so.
What guage wire did you use? Did you solder anywhere, or all wagos?
I ordered the b driver, but since this will be for flowering and the last week or...
The ones I posted are predrilled for a few different COBs. There should still be a way to mount them individually with the flat side mounts.
Shoot an email and see if he can cut you a deal since you are getting 20. Even $1 off each would help lol
I have a decent exhaust setup. Nothing huge, but I'm running a basic Mars Hydro 600 (260w at the wall) that seems to run pretty hot with no problems.
I can upgrade the exhaust fan If necessary and even add a fan for the cool air intake.
Hopefully I don't need to add anything with the...
I just nailed down my pretapped heatsinks and driver. Tuesday I will be buying 5 pieces of 36" 3/4x3/4x1/16 aluminum angle and self tapping screws.
If I make my frame 36"x18" and run horizontal supports instead of vertical supports, I will only have to make one cut.
I should be able to clamp...
