Hi Airwalker
yes your correct our website is not up to date as we are currently trying to finish a new web site. This will have much more detailed explanations of our product offerings. Perhaps in the short term if you advise what you would like Im sure I can provide a solution. What we can provide is
Single channel versions 288 leds
2 channel versions 576 leds
3 channel versions 675 leds
We can of course modify the 3rd channel, as with a current build where we only have 12 reds on the 3rd channel in a 3:1 deep red.far red mix, cuts down the cost and still gives you a good layer of red
Let me knwo what your thinking of and I will provide what you need. Our current skins are being built with Nichia V3, equiv to lm301B
Cheers

Hey Mark
Any news on the new cree 5050 high output strips i saw mentioned somewhere?
Will there be 90 cri options? Or for cree cree solskins?
If you can get the shipping costs to europe down a bit id be interested.

HI Rocket Soul
yes first PCB should be here in about a week, and will have 90CRI options
3 channels. 2 x 5050 and 3rd XQ footprint, 3rd channel options will be Deep Red, Far Red, 400nm, whites, RGB, and Phosphor converted colours
Which version of the Solskins are you interested in?
Cheers

Cree have just today released the newer 5050 led data.
https://www.cree.com/led-components/products/j5050/jseries-5050
so 5050 is now in 6v, 9v, 12v, 24v and 36 volt, so our new 5050 boards can be supplied in 12v, 18v, 24v 48v or 72 volt
Cheers

yes however in that footprint current offering would be 400,450, 470, 660 and 730 , I would need to check on the 420.
I will test the 5050 leds on our goni for the spectral details

thats a lot of light for one pot but looking beautiful, this is a new 15 skin build under test with a single line of 660 on each skin, 8820 diodes at 2700 watts
Cheers

Hey bud
How you been, how are those strips working for you. These nominally would run at 680w, splitting hairs, symmetrically 5x5 would make more sense, would work nice with the new boundary riders, boards just in, up to 40000 lumens from single 2ft strip, if you have the heatsink to cool it

You can get away with 30w/sft with modern midpower chips. I've used only 265w above my 4x2,5' area last run because of a defective driver and still got my desired 50/sft. I just hung the fixture lower by 4" to get the same lux readings. Nothing else! Strips are perfect for low distance lighting..
Now I've removed both drivers(HLG-240+120) and replaced them with a single HLG-320 and run F-strips and COB's in one series-parallel circuit. Only 310wall watt or 31w/sft now because there are a few volts unused(~30v).
So 6 boards would deffinately be overkill unless you plan to increase to a 6x 4' area sometime.

Hi Mark, thanks for the reply. The strips are great in my veg tent, so thanks. I'm particularly happy with your dimmers - they are much more stable and easy to use than my el-cheapo pots.Hey bud

Circumstances demand that I stick with 4x4 for the time being, but I'm always sniffing around for a more efficient future
Nice looking plant but man that's a ton of wasted space/light

I agree, i wont be doing single plants after this, the veg time was just too long. I think 4 is the way to go.

It don't takes long to add a small driver and a few strips to an exsisting light. Maybe a few hours, not more!
There is enough space left on the frame. You could use bars from alli c-channels to mount the strips on. You need anyway another driver so there is no need to touch the boards circuit. Only if you use an LED controller it would be a bit more complicated but would not take any longer.

I do 6 per 4x4 now with 3-4 week veg in coco 5 gal pots it fills out the canopy pretty well
