Nice! Looking for these for my 4x8 flower room. These are the L_9's right? Will I need 8 rows of 2? Was tinking about adding some of these in between as well:

Maybe with lenses like this:

What do you think?

For 4 x 8 area you'd be better off with the 1120mm - (44") 4ft F series strips rather than 2ft Hinflux strips.
4ft

That's not bad price for an elongated 288 diode board

@ledgardener has some examples for you to look at for ideas

Starting to get super hot here, already 38°C. Trying to maintain temps below 30°C but towards the end of the lights on period, ambient temp is going up to 31-31.5°C, LST on the leaves and tops closest to the boards was 29.5°C. Humidity after watering hovers around 65-70 at canopy level, drops as the day progresses and lights out it stays at or below 60. AC in the room is set to 20 (day) 24(night) + dry mode and is controlled by two temp/humidity sensors inside the cupboard. Cold air gets pulled in by a 4 inch fan-filter unit that remains on 24/7, CF + 4" exhaust also stays on 24/7. Lots of airflow from the sides and floor level. Not much I can do further...

How close can I get the 560 boards if dimmed down to say 100,120 or further? Halfway through 12/12 so a little concerned about everything turning to fluff as from what I've been reading, 12/12 requires temps at least 4 or more degrees cooler.

Another problem is that I can't lower them down beyond a certain point as I topped twice and all three are far from a Christmas tree.

Starting to think that I should have gone for four 560's and run then super soft, would've easily fit in my space as they're not particularly wide.

If youre almost there you can always switch to 11/13 and lose that pesky last hour.

I'm currently at 10-12 inches and 150W each, lux is at 50,000-52,000 in the middle and around 40,000-45,000 as the meter goes further out. Any scope for some height or wattage tuning?

Also I've been thinking about shifting the lights-on schedule to night hours. Is moving one hour ahead per day fine or is it too late/risky halfway through 12/12? If possible I would have at least a couple of degrees to play with...

Thank you for the 11/13 suggestion.

Alright guys I could use an opinion. I'm building a 2x1.4m flower room but only using 2x1m for the plants and this is what I want to cover. I got 8 heatsinks 500x195x10mm, 26 30x400mm SunBoard strips from Mufue each hosting 96 lm561c and 2 hlg 320h-c1050b drivers.

I'll have 6 heatsinks with 3 strips each (equals 288 board) and 2 heatsinks with 4 strips. So I'm building 2 individual 320w units with 13 strips each (3+3+3+4 strips)

I was thinking of laying them out like this:

Would that make for even enough coverage? I'm thinking the 300x300mm hole in the middle of each unit should get saturated enough from overlapping
