Hey everyone,
first off let me start by saying my knowledge of electrical is very minimal, i do have a smart cousin/engineer who is willing to help me build any light i want if i just show him what i want.
I have been looking hard at the timber fatty vs (950watts) or 2 x the 4vl model( 425watt each)
I will be using the lights for covering a 5x5 canopy for flowering.
I have seen many led/cobs/qbs builds, it seems i gravitate towards the cob builds like the timbers or the new samsung fseries strip builds.
my question and advice i am looking for.
Is it worth DIY ? the fatty is 1100.00usd and the 2x 4vl are 529.00usd x 2...approximately how much would it cost to build these lights DIY?
is there somewhere on this site or the internet i can find a material list or someone willing to help me figure out what i would need? where to find it? I AM CANADIAN so canadian prices or sites to buy the parts would be ideal.
I have tried searching for parts but as i said before, my knowledge of electrical is minimal and its like reading chinese to me. The DIY would be done by my engineer cousin. We just need to know what parts he needs to build what i want lol
Thanks for having a look
