That $5 was a mistake... they just fixed it... the strip is WAAAAY over $5 based on the average cost per lumenI got 20, for 5 USD all 3000k. 10 more should arrive on Monday, ordered on Sunday for 5 each.
Can't believe they're on 29.42 each now..
shot, thanks, yes, they are better than I expected, if not the final word in efficiency, but the price is stellar.
Just a few ambers, mostly cloudy. Just my preference, I like to harvest mine pretty early compared to other members around here. These were 12/12 for 9.5 weeks.
I'm running 8 on a hlg320 mounted to fairly thin aluminum.
Just ordered as in JUST ORDERED or a few days back?
Five minutes before I posted my questions. Even with the 2 dollar per strip import tax, at 7 apiece, you can't beat that.
I was hoping that 480 watts split between 10 would allow me to just mount like that. Would running them at about 48 watts apiece give good results or would that be too soft? I think they can run about 60-65 each. I've seen a few threads saying with alot of these strips, you can get superior results running a bit soft as long as you're in that 30-50 watt per foot range.
It funny how they cycle the price on those strips. @ANC probably swooped on that stock. lol. Very sweet deal. Stock currently sitting at 487 on Arrows website for peanuts. Makes me ill, thinking what I spent on Q strips.
Get yourself a small clip fan or 2 and blow it at the fixture while it's running, helps tremendously. That setup should work fine.
If you plug in your strip model on the Samsung engine calculator, you can play around with numbers to get an idea of output variables. As far as temperature, iPerculates suggestion is an option. If you are intent on running them bare you should measure the temps.
Looking good, someones getting frothy
Did you mean frosty or is that a new term that means really baked? Lol
