Thanks dude I've always been a mh/hps grower but summer temps are a bitch here & like you I need the heat of the big lights for winter. I'll be eager to see how well these LEDs work with your grow to see if I'm willing to give these a try.
Great builds man, super clean.
Both of those drivers could be ran off 1 plug, nice build
Thanks, its been a great light so far. I had considered doing one plug to a box, but if I decided to split the bars up at a later time, I'd have to wire them seperately again.
You could just leave each bar with a plug and run both plugs into a junction box with outlets on it. You could also have a switch for each bar so they can be turned on/off independently with ease.
Ya, thats pretty much what I got going now. No junction box though, just an outlet adapter to plug 2 plugs into one outlet.
I use the CXB3070's and stretch hasnt been an issue any more than with HID lighting in my opinion. With the HS choice, keep in mind that one is a passive cooled and one is an active cooled. Just an FYI -the bars like mine require fans to keep them running cooler (though if needed I could run without fans if for some reason it were to quit since they are a tad oversized and my lights are dimmable) and the pin sinks require a normalized room environment and air circulation to be effectively cooled.
Thanks, I love them and they have worked very well for me.Hello Hydrored! Nicely done. Ive made two of those. Would you know how to make them entirely waterproof, or is that downright impossible and stupid with an external fan? Ive got an interior garden thats just been roofed. Its not 100% waterproof though, as there are some open, vertical spaces to allow for airflow and ventilation at the roof. So, basically Id like to use them in my small, interior garden, but Id like to make sure, that I dont get some unwanted water on them and cut the power, start or fire, or who knows what!
