Wow 94 cri chips for that panel!
I invested in a table top drill press. It made building light frames almost effortless and cost under $100cdn. Definitely should be on every hobby builders list imo. Lights look great. With that much density you'll be able to run them nice and soft, or should I say, you'll be forced to run them softGooood laaaaaawwdyyyy. What time consuming task.
How much did the full set up run you. I'm looking at building an LED setup for a large space but as always starting off money is a factor
What I have in it isnt going to be any where close what you'll have to pay. I got the strips both the f series and the H inFlux_L06 strips for 8 to 11 bucks. I got the f series early on b4 everyone started buying them up. And they raised the price. They are 14-20 bucks for the ones i bought. And the H inFlux_L06 i got for 11 bucks each. Bc I have discount through the company I work for. I think they are 16-20 a piece for normal buyers. Of course the more you buy you get a price break. I have an HLG-320h-24b pushing (12) f562b 3k strips, HLG-240H-24A pushing (6) 96 diode Sunboards 2700k, and Lpv-100h-24 pushing reds. On the big light. The smaller framed light theres (6) H inFlux_L06 4k strips being pushed by a HLG-240H-24A, (4) F562b 4k strips driven by a Hlg-150h-24a, (3) F562b 3k strips driven by a HLG-120H-24AHow much did the full set up run you.

I am not sure what size room I'll have yet. I would like to use an entire garage or basement when I move. Just getting ideas for when the time comes and I move.What I have in it isnt going to be any where close what you'll have to pay.

I have just over 540 bucks in both bc of discounts I get. But what size area are you trying to cover? Veg and flower. Or jus veg or just glower?
It would be easier and more cost effective to go with QB. If money is an issue. You can save a few bucks and get like fotop800 boards. They are huge. Take up alot more area per piece than strips. And you can get them in kits of two plus a driver. They do a 4x4 easy. I believe. Go with four of those kits. Ready to go. To cover an 8x8 area. Jus assemble and hang and your ready to rock n roll.I am not sure what size room I'll have yet. I would like to use an entire garage or basement when I move.

Are those the ones off Alibaba Express?It would be easier and more cost effective to go with QB. If money is an issue. You can save a few bucks and get like fotop800 boards. They are huge.

Yeah from rita. Meijiu or whatever. I think two boards, driver, hanging kit. Junk pot. Is like 350-400 per kit. You could probably save some money by getting just the boards through her. And buy driver elsewhere. I think @Moflow has the big 800 boards. He can prob give you better info than i can.Are those the ones off Alibaba Express?
I have the HLG 260 at the moment and absolutely love it. I wasnt sure if the DIY strips would be cheaper or not. I'll look into the fotop 800s more for sure.

Also noticed they say Vero1 on those strips. So those are Bridgelux?Whoop whoop..... Lm301b diode are just so sexy.
New light build incoming. Doing 1ft strips this time. These are 3k. I have another order of 2700k, 3000k, and 4000k strips the diodes are alternated. Gonna do probably 30 strips total. Maybe 35.

Well I didnt even notice until I looked at the pic I posted here. These are not lm301b diodes. Says right on the sticker. SMD5630 so the dude selling them is selling shit that isnt what it is. On ebay.
They dont say vero1 they have V+ and V- where did you see vero at? LolAlso noticed they say Vero1 on those strips. So those are Bridgelux?
Are using it for flowering too?Geez, I was thinking of 6-8, 2 foot f strips on a hlg 150h. Obviously I haven’t pulled the trigger but I’m thinking I may be shy on power seeing your plan! This would be a 2x4 which is even more area. I’m glad I started talking to you about this before getting started.
Those logic pucks are nice. I was gonna go with them for my 3rd flower tent, that is a veg tent right now. With a qb style light from I cant remember the company name. They sent it to me to do a side by side for flower. But it barely vegged shit. So that tent is shutdown right now. Its 32x32. I thought about getting some of the logic pucks for it for flower. And run 3 flower tents. Instead of one small tent for babies n clones. Then bigger tent to veg em out longer. Then two flower tents. But my babies and clones I can get decent sized in the small tent in solo cups. And I usually flower in 1gals. So I think I'm gonna skip the second veg tent. Go from solos to 1gals. Over 3 flower tents. I'll be able to run through 1/3rd more beans.This is just veg, I got a rapid kit for the 4x3 with the logic pucks from Santa
I currently use indagro for both in a 2x4 but I’m ready to branch out a bit. I can’t get carried away as it’s a medical grow, limits and all. The induction light is ok but buds are always a bit on the smooshy side.
