have not but i'm gonna give em a try. came up with a design for 4 of these in a 4'x4'. running 150 each. each centered over 2'x2' quadrants. probably start around 24" and drop it lower and see how it works. looks like nice boards and nice heatsinks i'm happy to make the investment. probably will debut in my grow journal after the next run
I look forward to seeing them in action!
Did you get lenses?
no i haven't. all i've got so far are the boards/heatsinks. thinking 600h-54b for the driver. any lenses i should check out?
Sorry, I thought I saw lenses on HLG's site, but I just looked again, and I don't see them. But I would think that with something of this form-factor, lenses would eventually be an option?
Nah, them heads are obviously too strong for you, well off your trolley
Are there provisions made to the heatsink for hanging? If no, how do you plan on doing it? Two of these would make for great supplemental lighting in my setup but I don't see how they are supposed to hang
pretty much like this
You can build a small cheapish rig with makerbeam - these 300mm beams would fit 2 of these Elites Leds a pair(of beams), but since the beams come in a pack 4, you could build 2 rigs, with 2 lights each
you can screw these into the m4 holes in the side of the heatsink, attach a ratchet and viola you're done
amazing, much cheaper than a full rig. now theres extra money left over for beans
i do like your build tho. i use 80/20 extrusions on my builds which is similar to the maker beam.amazing, much cheaper than a full rig. now theres extra money left over for beans
Its in our pipelineYupp, four 2ft strips, max. 1,6amps, 24 diodes each, still 96 white, red, deep red diodes, same max. output but no heatsinks required. One could invest in more diodes/strips instead of in expensive heatsinks. 50w strips would work like 2ft F-strips and c-channels would work pretty well to keep them cool.
But I could imagine they have something like this already in their pipeline..
Which 5050 chips!?Its in our pipeline
96 white 5050 leds in 2 channels, 3rd channel 660/730/400 etc, 560mm Solskin strip
cool thing will be boards will be available in 12v,18v,24v and 48 volt
up to 40000 lumens per board at 200+ watts, kinda out there
Cheers

Dude ??
Cree all the way, JR5050
But will the price be reasonable? And can they be ran without a heatsink at a high enough wattage to be a better alternative? I think that's the next big thing in DIY LED strip builds. Having a board/strip you can run 100-150w through with no heatsink. Just need a thicker PCB to begin with or a heatsink that comes with it that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.Its in our pipeline

Is it better than the lumiled 5050 that HLG use? They use too luminus for the red wavelength.Dude ??
What I'd like to see are 12"x12" boards with evenly distributed threads of diodes running the length of the PCB (maybe an inch or so apart? Haven't really thought that through). Each board would act like a row of 1' strips, but with the extra substrate between the diodes, could be run at usable power levels without the need for heatsinks. Oila: strip-style uniformity over a 1 square foot area, but with the simplicity and ease of implementation that a single power connector affords. Save money and time on heatsinking, but without sacrificing light distribution. Throw some added reds on that sucker, and make a ceiling of light.
They probably just wanted to compete with the growmau5 pucks imo it was a smart move.
