Just call them, I tried to email them once. Now I just call when I have questions. Just talked to them a couple months ago about running in parallel.
Need one (haircut ) exactly like this please ...I am hair dresser...
Hey guys I'm new to the DIY Led phenomena going on. After trying to purchase a decent size LED without going into debt I realized the only way to go is DIY. Whoever can take the time out of their day and answer some of these questions will forever have a special place in my heart.
I want to build veg and flowering lights. For vegging I will have a 2'x 4'x 5' tent that I want to nicely fill with LEDs. I'm leaning towards 2 panels for 8 plants total. Are these parts compatable? Any other recommendations would be appreciated (ie. use one panel or 4)
Parts:
(Eight) Vero 18 cobs 5000k, 70 cri (driving them @1.05a)
(2) HLG-80h-c700 (sorry HLG-120H-C1050 *edited*)
(2) 12" x 5.886 heatsink from Heatsinkusa
Other questions in regards to my veg station:
-Is the cob spacing going to be sufficient enough?
-Will I need active or passive cooling?
-Should I look into reflectors/lenses?
-Should I mix 5000/4000k spectrums?
For the flowering I want to do 4 panels for a 4x4 space (this is only temporary; potentially I have 4'x8' space).
The parts I've decided to go with are:
(16)CXB 3070 3000k
(4) HLG-185H-C1400
(4) 5.886" x 12" (or would I need 24" for active? I want to have it somewhere in between. Where as if my fan dies or something there's still a chance for the rig to survive.
Questions regarding flowering panels/general questions:
-Should I mix 3000k/4000k for the flowering panels?
-Is it possible to go completely solderless with these builds?
-Will I need a dimmer for this set up right away?
-Any extra spectrums I should order/mess with? Or should I stick with the main lights for now and expand on it later?
I am not all that tech savy, neither hardware savy, so avoiding drilling and stuff would be nice but I am not ruling it out (willing to rent hardware for the days I assemble).I was also juggling the idea of maybe using Alpine+ (which I don't want to rule out as well for the heatsink options) because it's just cool and seems easy to set up with. I might be able to get a hand with helping me build this but I really would like to tackle it on my own. Any feedback/comments are welcome and greatly appreciated.
Blessed day to all,
-K
