The kit comes with a PDB strip that should make connection to the strips straightforward. Respect polarity. Do not connect power until you have double checked your work, and then checked again.
They have a video guide on driver connection on their youtube channel.

If you still unsure perhaps start a new thread. I'm sure you will get plenty of help.

Hello, big Fan Of ChilLeds Potential & Your builds. But may i ask why you state the bennifits of UVA on your site yet do not have it in the light? Not much sign of your prior spectral knowledge incorporated into these HoverCrafts. Why is that?
Honestly, many were disappointed in your spectrum selection by going the standard HE.
I thought you'd be the one Company who understood spectral quality & efficiency balance that could compete with Amare. The spectrum in this fixture coukd have been a hybrid of your earlier awesome work & this, but you went in the total opposite direction.
Lmk if you want a SBS to show you exactly what i mean & why? If it shows it shows.
Be well, stay safe, great build but lacks versatility & spectrum.

Hybrid, glad to hear you are a big fan, it's people like you that give us the motivation to keep pushing for better and better LED lights.

As for the UVA benefits being on our site, we strive to provide the community with as much information and knowledge as we can. The reason Growcraft is currently single channel is we wanted to create the best light that we could in terms of efficiency, output, modularity and ease of use.
The current spectrum is perfect for full-cycle growth. There is a pretty common misconception on the need for excessive amounts of blues. I can assure you that we have dialed in this spectrum to provide some pretty incredible results from seed to harvest. But, with that said, we understand that for the experienced grower going for the absolute maximum results and certain morphology traits, spectrum such as UVA and IR can help push that boundary just a bit further.

What you see with Growcraft now is only just the beginning of our 3rd generation and what's to come. We will be releasing accessory spectrum boards with some pretty awesome tech in the very near future and long-term we have plans to release some full blown spectrum control that people such as yourself will really appreciate. Expect to see that spectrum control at the end of this year or early next year, just depends on some factors that are out of our control.

I hope this all helps and gives you an idea of what's to come :)

LOL. Do Amare third party test yet?

Stop trying to blag another free light.


Austin, meet the local Amare shill. He's one of a kind, literally, nobody else using them.

The ChilLed future sounds like my cup-o-tea. Was hoping for that now i guess. Perfect for full cycle. Wow! How'd i miss that?
Yes, that was an excellent answer. Respectfull too. Thank you!
Although I'd caution you on people/trolls like Lukio who are always attempting to negate anything i say, no matter how sensible it may or may not be.
You're DIY approach is a great idea with those internal connection strips. Nice! As well as the options to build all sorts of designs using your most likely, quality parts.
Have been considering HYU about getting the components i need to build my Square light as you probably have the 90• corners & caps for those extrusions & i like your diy platform i think from what i see.
You killed the comp running x4, sets of doides down the bar plus using real thermal mngmt. Bravo!!! Gots to run x4 on 42" for those #'s. Good job on not skimping out there Vitaly! So many just don't get it about the overall importance of thermal mngmt. & yours looks nice from my house.
I was not hatin on anything just because i mentioned the only company i could think of & happen to use, that has an 8 bar, 900w, enhanced light configuration @ 2.68. Its the Only relevant or Comparable light to the point at hand i know of. Is what it is.
I see your spectral tuning of a proven spectrum. Bump the heck outta that 660 & increase electrical efficiency. Should make bigger buds too but I've only tested it including the EmmersonEffect + 470nm so idk here.Screenshot_20200527-193725_Hancom Office Editor.jpgScreenshot_20200527-193241_Chrome.jpgScreenshot_20200527-193423_Chrome.jpgScreenshot_20200527-192914_Chrome.jpg
Not for nothing, but between a Quality, Custom Led grow light Creator like Vitaly who was about Spectrum/efficiency & very unique builds. Then a Skilled Hype man, Custom Creator like GroMouse is added to the mix, who's builds were inspired by the company i referred to above w/ no ill intentions.
It Just threw me for a loop when they came out with this spectrum, to be the highest electrical efficiency fixture.
Thank you for acknowledging the facts on that, being the added spectrum would be for the professional grower pushing the limits.
I just feel all growers are entitled to this at these Premium LED prices is all & it aggravates me. More so after the company i thought would come out swinging on spectrum, failed to do so. Glad it will be next yrs upgrade. Why upgrade anually for wavelengths though until there is all in one broad spectrum proven to last & dialed in? Lots of wasted money for upgraders.
No disrespect, so don't let anyone soup you. Just my take. 1000w Fixed unit bar light that's not 6' wide or detachable. For what? High-Bay DE Replacements with way more light? Idk man. Next yr. Is another yr. & sales must be jamming so who GAF right.

Better than mom's apple pie!? Astounding! We must have really knocked it out of the park this time. ;)

Anyways, glad you got it sorted out! Feel free to ask us any questions you run into in the future.
