damn 50 watts a pop a strip I was more looking like running three of them and drive them around 30-35 watts a strip around their got me thinking now how hot do your heatsinks get?My room is at a stand still until the last 2 UVB strips come in. The beer virus screwed up shipping so they didn't even get the chips as of a couple days ago.
I have a lot of drivers, running the lights all different lol. The 3000k whites total have a max of 300W between 6 strips, I have them on a 240W driver, with massive heat sinks, 3 strips per heat sink, couple extra inches on each end for mounting and such, so i'd say I am not running them hard at all, actually only ran them for 6 hours so far just to check heat and stuff, not running them till I switch to flower, I have way too much light in here for veg

If you don't need dimming and are remote mounting your drivers away from the area, LRS models are great for 100 & 150watts. Just parallel wire them and get the voltage you need for the driver same as the strips . 48 I think?

Really damn good idea because I was thinking about just having it mounted on a piece of flat aluminum and mount all the drivers to that and have the drivers on the side of the room or maybe even in a different room gonna go look into the LRS Models and take a peek and it’s 48 volts in pretty sure so yes your right

Yup. Metal case with holes in its you can't miss it. Comes in 25/50/75/100/150/200/350 watt versions.

I say it here and there lol. There's a few people around here that should know quite a bit about me if theyve paid much attention. Ive relaxed a bit about sharing some personal info.Just stay on the Sidewalk/Street with a nice picket sign saying "Veterans Deserve Their Medicine" and hand it out.
That was my next thought. Theres a bus stop on the corner that a lot of them use lol.

I didn't think they would get as hot as they do, even with how big they are they get pretty hot, i'm glad I am only running them at 240Watts instead of 300. So i'm running them at 40Watts a piece, 80% of Full Load. That often a good number for electronics to run at to increase life span.

The knob is for voltage adjustment so you can dial in to something that maybe 33V instead of 36V for example.

Why no giant concern for the flu every year? Isn't this basically the same thing but not as bad?

because I already know imma get it if I was in my late 50s I would be worrying but im pretty safe everyone gets scarred when their is a new virus that's outbreaking. by the time they start really testing its going to be pretty bad because the virus goes 2 weeks without symptoms just take what ever number they give u hit it with 300% more and that's how many people could be infected right now we need the tests out their that's about it. but most of the fatalities are people that have immune problems and old age what ive noticed if your somewhat healthy it should just be like a mild flu Is what im thinking.

good luck, I'm good for my press I just need to light another 70sqft or so but prob gonna run this plant out throw one more run into flower then be done till after summer when it starts to cool down its a pain in the ass growing in the summer I don't wanna put in a minisplit and im not using a portable I actually might look into a window one but idk how good those are and if they leak smell but prob just gonna save money for a minisplit for a year or two
