got my heatsinks in today.
fuckers are huge, and weigh about 27 lbs. didn't know what else to use as
a size scale so i used my bass.
Thats one way to scale a pic, haha.. nice work, man.. Can hardly wait to get our DIY LEDs up too! Best of luck.. share your results anytime at our place.. aka thread.
Edit: Shit, i wonder how much our 36" heat sinks will weigh. Thankfully only 3.5 inch wide though.
@Supra big up man, respect for the LED pioneering and testing. Looking forward to the copper and red results..Just curious, if you had a 4x8 ft space what do you think the ideal lighting would be DIY wise.
Layouts and costs somewhat aside, what would be your goal for overall numbers like watts and COBs. A 1000w HPS is standard for a 5x5 or 4x4 air-cooled, right, but these DIYs are so damn efficient.. that'd be like 400w DIY per 4x4 So would 800w be ideal or insane?
Cree's are a bit much at the moment tbh so going with Vero's for the whites. Building several 36 inch bars on single heatsinks, with multiple white COBs in parallel ran soft of a single driver.. i think they gonna be 40w each, 137 lumens per watt. But still have to add blues and reds on their own little sinks with their own drivers, and consider totals..
That said, in your opinion, how huge is it to have both red spectrums, far and deep? It will be a flower and veg room, depending.
Appreciate the input, big time mon. New subject for me..Really gotta up the output until the everyones got their licenses finalized.. the fam is hurting, especially grandma!
Big up from Canada
