I just found out that the TC420/21
Will work with every voltage higher then 9v. The device works on 5v through a regulator. So if i add a 10v switching power supply it will output 10v.
Now the question is:
How to wire? The v+ and v- input are on a 10v supply and there is a common v+ and...
But when I add a 12v supply to the input and create something like a voltage divider to the output. Looking for some work around.
I could imagine that 12v is max and when dimmed it will be less... so I've i add a 10v regulagor at the output it will not exceed 10v? Or is the volage fixed at 10v...
1 gpw! I would be soooo pleased to hit that magic 1gpw.
Now i've been searching and searching but i just cant get the qb's to holland. The shipping costs where so much that i had to figure out something else..
So i went for the alternative and bought some boards from rita fang in china :oops...
He guys
Heres maybe something interesting:
I've got 3x elg-320h-2100b and im looking for a way to make a sunset/sunrise and a timer to switch the drivers off all in one.
I came agross this:
TC420 5channel led controller.
Here is my idea:
Since the dim+ wire has 10v, 1 of these wires (got 3)...
So a 304 will give about 22 lumen per watt more. x600watt = 13200 extra lumen
Thats like 13% more.
But the 304 is about 3x times the price of a 120. So what is wisdom...
10x 304 @60w or 12x 120 @50w
And there's another question..
Seems that the curve of 3000k and 3500k are about te same in...
I like the headroom of running them low.
Its mostly a surprise how much they stretch. Normally it would be fine.
But the spread is more even with more boards.
I will look into the qb120 and 288 seems like a good option but nothing is available right now. Does anyone knows the shipping rates for...
The choice of qboards was made for the efficiency. 120 diodes must be driven harder for 60w than 304 diodes. So in my opinion the qb304 also driven at 60w will be more efficient. More efficient means more wattage to light insteed of heat.
Or is this so little that you shall not notice any...
Im searching for the best efficiency and lightspread. Thought these qbs where the very next step in lightning? But he.. if somebody can convince me that the cxb3590 cxm22 or the vero29 are a better choiche then i will buy those :)
Hello fellow DIYgrowers
Im new to riu dont know ive i have to introduce myself but in a nuttshell
Im from holland and been growing for 4y now. I like to diy and tried many things.
Now im almost on the quantumboardtrain
Last year i had 9x cxa2540 and 5x blurple cob chips. So total of 14 cobs x...
