Charge shipping now but the sale price went down to reflect that. Works out cheaper for the customer buying multiples items then.I believe shipping is free within the UK.

When I bought Mars lights, I did not pay shipping fee, I am in Canada, I think they can also offer free shipping to UK customers.Charge shipping now but the sale price went down to reflect that. Works out cheaper for the customer buying multiples items then.

yes....no needI wanted to ask...
What do you all think of lens hoods?
I have 90* hoods on my leds. I read where they really are not needed for a reflective tent???

Plus lose 10% or more of photons...Reflectors and lenses direct usable strength light to a more specific footprint.
Thanks man! I'm thinking about ordering 32 of the 24v 2foot fstrips so I get a better rate. But am torn between getting all as 3500k or getting 3000k and 4000k and doing a mix. Of course I can't get that discount doing the second option.The strips are only 22 1/4 " long so yes they will fit in a 2' space. Just have to keep the frame work of them within those numbers.
A mix of 3k and 3.5k works for me.Thanks man! I'm thinking about ordering 32 of the 24v 2foot fstrips so I get a better rate. But am torn between getting all as 3500k or getting 3000k and 4000k and doing a mix. Of course I can't get that discount doing the second option.
Nice set up. What size are your frames?A mix of 3k and 3.5k works for me.
Not enough strips for a 240h24B driver. Somewhere between 9-12 strips from my experience.
My example, 9 f-series strips ran by a HLG240H24B.

If you want to run 6 stripes than a LPV-150-24 would be my choice of driver. Not dimable and not as efficient as a HLG but for a 2x2 that would be my choice.
Thanks for your input Jarvild! Unfortunately I already bought the 3 240's so ill just Up the # of strips per driver up to 9 like you are running.A mix of 3k and 3.5k works for me.

The left is 2'x3' the right is 2'x30", I'll tear the right one down and either change it to 3' or maybe a little longer as I like the coverage better with the longer frames.Nice set up. What size are your frames?
Yepp, here are a few peeps using LED vertically(some use COBs other strips). Use the search engine to find the threads..Have any of you tried using LED's vertically? Similar to the Sun Cloak method?
I'm giving it a try, but since it's all 6000k I rather expect that I'll need to add some blurple into the mix. Just wondering if anyone here has tried it and what their experience was with it.
Thanks, Randomblame!Yepp, here are a few peeps using LED vertically(some use COBs other strips). Use the search engine to find the threads..
I would use the 6000°k strips mounted vertically and would add a few warmwhite strips from above just like a sun cloak.
Bridgelux EBgen2 strips(1, 2 and 4ft length) are pretty cheap(7-14$/pc) and deliver 175lm/w or ~2,55μMol/J in 3500°K/CRI80.
What brand are your 6000°k strips? Samsung, Blux or cheap chinese 12v e3ay/amazon shit?
Thanks, Randomblame!
Right now it's cheap Chinese shit for trials. Running the 6000k. But if the concept works, I was thinking to switch out one side of a blade at a time to Samsung strips. I do realize that the yield may be lower than possible by using the cheaper lights, but wanted to give it a shot as a proof of concept. I have a couple of Meizhi 600 watt lights and was thinking I'd put above the blades to give the red and blue light ranges. But the SC grows I saw that inspired me only ran the 6000k with no supplemental lighting. So I was really curious to see if others had tried this single spectrum out and what they experienced.
I'm running Gorilla Glue in coir and perlite, and feeding every day with mostly AN PH Perfect trio and Cal Mag. Tried these lights out for 2 weeks on clones and they seemed to like it fine, so I made blades for my little flower room.
I guess I'm a moron because when I use the search function I only come up with a couple of things.
