    Turn this potentiometer to change brightness. Set it with a drop of nail polish to lock in your brightness level.

    Bridgelux eb strips Gen 3

    You had me worried that I'd given out bad driver advice. Glad all strips are lit.

    Qb132 & lrs-350 question

    Yes. Maybe use a 2.5 amp fast blow fuse for safety https://www.amazon.com/Glass-Fuses-AGC2-5A-AGC2-5-6X30mm/dp/B008R8365I and inline fuse holder...

    Digikey will be selling the new Samsung Horticulture Linear LED strips.

    You beat me to it! Both are 5390 Kelvin with red enhancement. Others say spectrum expected to be prone to foxtailing... $31.20 per 12" strip https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SL-B8R5C9H1AWW/1510-SL-B8R5C9H1AWW-ND/10284209 $50.81 per 24" strip...

    Wasted my money with KINGBRITE. Here's why you should buy from DIGIKEY instead

    Let your duct exhaust air do something useful: blow it on your drivers and they will be barely warm to the touch..

    matching a driver with Led strips

    183 volts/8 strips = each strip gets a maximum of 22.873 volts, right? I'm estimating the HLG-320H-1750 will top out at about 1600 ma into these strips due to hitting the voltage limit. I could be wrong due to using a hand drawing of a non linear graph with only 3 data points.

    matching a driver with Led strips

    If running all 16 in parallel, then maybe a HLG 600h-24a is the ticket. $182.70 is all you need for a smoke test. Second opinion requested...yea or neigh? https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/MEAN-WELL/HLG-600H-24A?qs=5pLaOnqdcwPABO8%2FOIJ6Og%3D%3D

    COB vs SP250LED

    Bad news is I have no opinion on the lamps you've mentioned. Give the bulldog a bone and shop here for your 60x120cm area lighting: https://diyleduk.com/collections/60cm-x-1-2m-area The L399 kit features the desirable enhanced deep red spectrum. A similar lamp cost $479 from the USA at...

    Wire size for 600W led

    1mm is better but you did good using the 0.75mm. The 11.2 amps tells me you are building a parallel LED cob\panel\strip based system. The current to each LED depends on the number of cobs\panels\strips you are using. To know how much current each cob\panel\strip receives: divide total current...

    I need a little assistance in a new LED build

    Everything X 2 for a 5' x 10' I spec'd out a 5x5 because you said you had 2 5x5s so I assumed these were located in different rooms or tents. I'll get it right sooner or later.

    I need a little assistance in a new LED build

    I'd go with 4000K build that doesn't need heat sinks and uses one LED driver. All the panels are wired in parallel. About 600 watts covering 25 sq.ft. yields about 24 watts/sq.ft. and 37 watts/panel. I think that's enough for clones/veg/mother builds. This build pumps 0.67A thru each panel. Max...

    I need a little assistance in a new LED build

    You also need a LED Driver interface kit...https://atreumlighting.com/collections/frontpage/products/connector-kit-north-america-power-cord-wago-lever-nut-junction-connector *Atreum Lighting has LED panels and bars for sale at the store and ebay(make an offer).

    Drivers will run hot. A thicker piece of aluminium would be a better passive heat sink. If your driver is outside your tent, the carbon air filtration system exhaust air will be sufficient to convectively cool your drivers.

    Bridgelux eb strips Gen 3

    I mounted my dimmer pot with a paper disk behind the pot's knob. Plugged the driver into an kill-a-watt meter to calibrate the paper disk. Starting with the pot counter-clockwise, read the kill-a-watt, and recorded the kill-a-watt readings onto the paper disk, turn it clockwise and record the...

    Bridgelux eb strips Gen 3

    I'd wire those strips in series and drive them with an HLG-60H-C700A. This saves a few bucks by not needing to buy the Wago Lever-Lock connectors used for parallel panel builds. This will drive up to nine 340mm EB3 slim strips. The driver will crank out 98.1 Volts DC to light nine strips ( 76.3...

    8x4x6.5 Tent Setup

    You want at least 25 watts per square foot of garden area for flowering. Tent is 8'x4'=32 square feet. You need 25w X 32sq' = 800 watts of light. Bestva elite-1200 draws 257.6 Watts from the wall / assuming electrical efficiency of 90% / => about 231 watts of light ...so you need at least 3...
