Surely you could get heatsinks cut to sIe from somewhere else?

The hlg boards would cost ya like 200 to get one here direct from hlg or the 145 from quickbloom, so atreum is definitely the cheapest option.

Finding extruded heatsinks that size isn’t easy. I believe hlg would be getting there’s made to size

Ebay wouldn't be free postage to Australia mate. Probably end up costing ya more for postage i reckon, have a look at the kits on quickbloom man.

sure? I get stuff from America on ebay with free postage..

Maybe atreum is the go for diy then I might try build one.

Nice bro. That’s going to be a sweet setup. You running heatsinks?

just a quote from that thread mate..not my order.

I went with quick bloom fuck it the bloke spent bout 3 to 5 days answering my questions

An like he said if there’s a broken part there all over it but be a cunt sending back to usa

So yea soren at qbl talked me into it haha

Nah I run hps over summer an winter. Don’t have to many heat issues.

I just turn a heater on in winter mate but yeah if it’s real shit an slow growing I’ll just run led in summer. But if I don’t run fans an shit might be right.

Have not thought that far ahead to be honest.

But fuck I struggle to grow decent shit even in a tent in winter

Yea, I hear ya. LED just require more heat in the room is all- and don't make as much.

The atreums with a heatsink end up being about the same cost as the qb’s without one. I’m just waiting on some bank and I’m going to grab one and see how it goes. Will probably grab a 130w hlg kit on afterpay as well to run next to it and compare.

Pretty sure ya can get heaters for aquariums for lizards an snakes an what not might pay to look into one leading into winter for us Tassie boys

I’m only planning on using leds over summer when dealing with the heat the hps produces is a pain. Winter the hps will come back out.

 

[Lucky Luke]

well they except make an offer as that guy I quoted said so maybe offer $70 US per board with heat sink (which they have said yes to for other people) and then ask for free shipping? Worst they can do is say no and you negotiate from there..??

Strips are cheaper but more work to wire up. Like my strip rig cost me $200 in parts vs $250+ for the same wattage in the atreums/hlg panels.
