I see what you meant by unscientific test, lots of variables and mods. Nice job.

I just had to post this pic of one of the root masses I took out of a 3 gallon bag. No root spiral, just great looking roots. I was able to save 80% of the coco for the next run. That is all roots!!!

Still waiting on the drying, but I am see where things could have been better. I need once PHed my water, I was only checking PPMs. Which is ok as long as I don't use any additives (boosters). When I started using the Fire, it was looking like I burnt the plants, but my PPM were only 900. I have also hurt the OG by not netting them. The OGs don't mind the intensity, but the GG is foxtailing. Still looks good. A couple more weeks.

Almost dry. Now that I only have 1150 watts, the room is running cold. It doesn't help that I am drying in there. The room is running on a temp/humid. controller for the fans, so the CO2 is off.
Product review time. I just got in a couple of Flip Chips 320 watt passive heat sinks (.218 C/W). I am very happy so far, it is much shorter, lighter, and cheaper. It might be awhile before I get any Tj # for this and the Coolbay. It doesn't seem like it should cool as good as the Coolbay, but they the same C/W. I'm not talking shit about Flip's cooler, the Coolbay cost a lot more and have a copper cored heat pipe and this is just aluminum. So should be overkill when running @ 250 watts. Flip's cooler is everything I was looking for.
You might notice in the pictures that the Luna looks different. They used the Apollo 300 footprint for better cooling and fitment I was told. Also there is an efficiency increase that is not showing on there web site. New #'s and multiple driver currents should soon appear on their website soon.
I will try to put pictures up later. For some reason RUI isn't letting me up load.

Another thing to mention is we do not have heatpipes in our heatsinks. The durability of heatpipes after 3 years is questionable. We don't want that shit exploding in your face because inside that heatpipe lies high pressure liquified heat transfer materials.

Interesting. Can you publish performance parameters of your chips at junction temperatures between 45 and 70f?

Still trimming, I am not fast, so I still have a ways to go, but for screwing up the last few weeks, I am happy.

But yes, we'd like to send some over to SC LABS to test potency and chemical make up.
Leftovers would be delicious.

I will make that happen when I come down for my order. Now answer my email. It might have gone to someone else in the office?

I asked a question about cold temperature performance above. Have you done any such testing? If so, what do the results look like?President Danny no longer works with us.

You sent the e-mail to Ting... but it was forwarded to me.I will make that happen when I come down for my order. Now answer my email. It might have gone to someone else in the office?
I have to check but you'd have to be careful on ordering the 600W power supplies with the right ampage... I'll confirm it for you tomorrow..

Typically, a vacuum pump is used to remove the air from the empty heat pipe. The heat pipe is partially filled with a working fluid and then sealed. The working fluid mass is chosen so that the heat pipe contains both vapor and liquid over the operating temperature range.

they maybe implode, but the energy is to weak to harm anything

If the heatpipe stops functioning, temperature will increase on the fixture and can lead to dangerous things happening.

I just picked up a multimeter with thermal sensor. I let the Luna heat up to the full 320 watts with no air movement and 24c room. I ended up with a Tc of 93c, well within the 105c max. At 250 watts with no air movement and 24c was a Tc of 78c. So with normal growroom circulation this should run much cooler than 78c @ 250. I will have to see what the Coolbay will do. I used my welding hood to hold the sensor to its spot and it is still bright as hell.
