Hello,
I am looking to complete a total buy list for a DIY LED setup. I am
already going to be running a Timber Lights 3500K Vero29fixture @
400w and I want to slowly build a second rig to learn about these things and complement it, probably a bit
more suited for flowering. Total grow space is 18 square feet if i open it up so closer to 800w total is my end goal....starting with the 400w fixture in a 3x3 area.
Requirements:
-3000K spectrum
-COB LEDs
-400 watt draw at wall
-Low heat signature
-Budget: Around $400 if possible
I know I can get “kits” from timber that achieve these specs at around
$519 for Vero29s but hope I can probably do better myself if building.
I’m thinking I’ll stick with Vero29s for consistency and go for the
3000K temp to compliment the 3500K fixture I’ll be already running.
It seems if I were to build myself the parts list I’m looking at would
be something like this:
COBs: 4X Vero29SE (3000K 90 CRI D Poke-In) @ $27 each from RapidLED=$108
Reflector and adaptor for COB: 4X Ledil STELLA @ $12.50 from RapidLED=$50
Heat Sinks: 4X 140mm PIN Heatsink @ $19.00 ea from RapidLED=$80
Dimmer: Unsure….do people put dimmers on their DIY builds?=~$20?
Driver: 2X Meanwell HLG-185H-C1400B Dimmable @ $50 from RapidLED=$100
Wires/Harnesses/Connections: Wires/Wagos/Power Cord ~$20=$20
Thermal Paste: $6
Total: ~$385
Am i way off? Would you change specs majorly in any one area?
