    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Sorry but I didn't get what you meant. "less quality for each euro" Mean well is middle range I think, not very good but not bad. They have correct range of price but the quality is much better than cheapo chinese led and at the end I prefer paying a little bit more but knowing that they will...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Thank you but I am not in US and importing it is 17$ just for shipping... But by looking at the driver I see that it's rated at 1500mA and 37V so it answer a bit to my question. If this driver works the meanwell HgL 185 1400mA should work too... Because at 1500mA a cxa needs 37.74V so it's...

    More Money Than Brains - a water cooled cab build

    Hi mr "observe and report" LOL, Well I don't know where to begin, Great build with nice and precise indications. Don't say you are not handy because this is one of the cleanest setup I saw. :clap: I will do pretty much the same wardrobe than you, and while I was planing everything and wondering...

    watercooled CXA 3070

    Hum, 600g with 300W of led, I can't believe I can do that... Especially in a 0,4m2 area... Even with critical mass I don't think anyone will never be able to pull 1500g/m2. But yeah 300g is possible in this area (600/700gr per m2)

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    yes, you could make a very efficient light by putting oslon and cxa on the same 1050mA driver (HGL 85 1050mA, and 190V). It would make 10W of oslon for 38W of cxa (rated at 127lumen/W ;) ) But I would rather have cxa on a string with a dimmer and oslon on another with a dimmer too. So that I can...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    Ho, I didn't think of it at all. I will wait until other confirm that. .. BTW wouldn't it be a problem for the driver to constantly push higher than rated current?

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    hi everyone, I am looking for a cheap way to power cxa3070. They are rated at 37,42V at 1400mA. => 149,68V if all in series. Would a HGL 185-1400 do the job? it is suppose to output 1400mA and 143V so I guess it will suffer a bit ?!

    DIY Cheapo regulatorless power supply.

    LOL, I know that buying plenty of small what might be less hassle. But one driver is better I think, it's less annoying and can get the price down. I don't care about the voltage being high. I went hospital due to 220V electrocution when wiring my hps, yep my bro puted electricity on without...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Totally agree on that too, epicfail... 37% is already the efficiency of an HPS, but the spectrum is better, the repartition is also better and penetration can be manage by using lenses... But why not adding 10w of oslon SSL hyperred on your 3000K 80cri => you catch up with the 650nm+ of the...

    watercooled CXA 3070

    Hi everyone, I have been busy catching up with led technology, reading all your set up, and genius idea. My space is 1,6' x 2,6 and 4,6 high. I plan to make a led panel better than my former lumatek 400/250w and small addjust a wing combo without changing anything else of the wardrobe. results...

    DIY Cheapo regulatorless power supply.

    Hi, cool answer, very precise... I am by no way good, but in engineering school and some friends better in this domain could help me. I designed with them a year ago a defibrilator simulation on the exact same software, so I kind of understand whats is going on. I am going with cxa 3070 as you...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    Hi, @ uzerneims, in europe there are digikey and newarks and mouser. 30euros for the Cxa3070 Z2 3000K.

    DIY Cheapo regulatorless power supply.

    Hi churchhaze, I am by no way good in electricity and circuit analysing, hence I just hope to understand a bit what you did. Imagining I want to power 10 strings at 350mA with a driver that give 3,5A it would know be possible because you claim that this mofset will regulate the voltage in each...

    What's the Skinny with Epistar LEDs???

    Hi guys, I am uping this thread as I wonder exactly the same. I have done grows with led from epistar/bridgelux (chinese led). They work just fine. Also looking at the specs, it says it delivers 110/120 lumen/w at 350mA for the 1W now, looking at Area51, their cree XTE R5bin gives 125lumen/W...

    4 Area-51 RW 75s 42x42

    nice ! ;) the group shot is really cool. Thank you for the measurement it's good to see that 19-30inch is a the general height I should expect with this panel in 12/12 directly for indica/sativa. Don't worry about your RC; one stick ? in 4weeks it may be a huge single cola... bye

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    Hi everyone, nice feedback for area51 I see. @Natro: Yes, the 660nm is really low on their panel. I could build one using a combination of CW/WW oslon SSL and hyper red oslon SSL in order to have more 660 and as much blue/ red 630nm but It will be more than 2$/W so their is no point bothering...

    4 Area-51 RW 75s 42x42

    hi natro, I subbed, fantastic grow: simple and will probably be very efficient. 12/12 from seed SOG is my favorite along with 1 big ass plant in SCROG even if I don't have a lot of grow under my belt. For me 12/12 is low maintenance, possibility of doing a perpetual with no mother, multistrain...
