If someone gave you these parts and specs how's the light guys honestly

I use 7x11 150w sunboards. The 650 watt utilizes four of those bolted to a 18x26 inch aluminum heatsink .

Sunboards contain lm301bs and 660nm reds a few ir and uv as well

3500k light temp full spectrum for veg and bloom

What you think

I dont quite understand, how many of those sunboard strips do you have? 7, 11, 6 as in the link?

The strips are rated at 48w max which seems okish for the amount of diodes. Id run softer, around 24w per strip but thats me.

I don't know anything about the diy someone gave me those specs said the lights 500 bucks

How many lights are there? Looks like 6 strips, if its 6 stripa only and 650w it is very much over max power and should burn out faster. Like twice over max.

Pretty sure OP is talking about a board similar to this but 4 of them on 1 heatsink.

Hydrokid attempted to google sunboard and came up with the strips.

There is about a 5-10% efficiency difference between the LM561C diodes on the strips and the LM301B diodes on the boards, although the same seller has LM301 strips as well.

I run the 3500K strips from this seller because I bought when I knew less 6 months ago. I originally used 4 of the LM561C strips to create a square around my viparspectra white light in my 3x3 tent and that worked like a charm 150watts each for a total of 300watts. I have since upgraded to a 4x4(really a 4x8 but only use half) and the great thing about the strips is you can buy new angled aluminum and/or drivers and easily "upgrade" them. I went from 8 strips in the 3x3 to currently 12 strips in the 4x4 pushing 480watts. Ill have a grow diary next run in about a month or so. With running out of room in the 3x3 with 5 plants and switching nutrients, I'm a bit embarrassed on the looks of my plants now this is only my second run.

There was another seller "High_Lighting" on ebay that was selling the LM561C strips with a heatsink for about $16.50 each, which is where I picked up more. Currently hoping that the ARROW strips drop back down to $2 and I'll grab a bunch of those for the other half of my tent. Definitely like the strips vs the vipar light which is just a board.

To answer the original question of thoughts on 4 boards that the OP had asked - Look at reviews and search for this light in this forum as it is essentially what you are looking at. Should veg a 6x6 and bloom a 5x5

Op can run those boards at 600w but it would defo be pushing them towards their upper limits of specs and what is actually practical. I run that amount of diodes around 300w or even less. 600w: 0.6w per diode=max per spec. Nominal, where i generally like to hang is 0.2 or about 60w per board. Lower they get even more efficient but you get to the point where you cant fit enough boards. Its all abiut preference but any light that needs to hang +24" is generally losing some light.
Id still recommend doing a youtube of ledgardener quantum board torture: a well fabricated original quantum board can take a lot of punishment but what happens is light degradation, and safety issues.

LED strips will give you the best, most even coverage
for your tent or room, period.

With these complete DIY kits using Samsung LEDs, all you'll need is a drill, a 1/8" bit, wire strippers, and a phillips screwdriver to build a light up to 18" x 36".


LISTING INCLUDES:
6 - Strips with 96 - 3500k Samsung lm561c LEDs
6 - 40mm x 450mm heatsinks (40mm x 860mm 2 strip heatsinks optional)
2 - pcs 1/2" 18ga aluminum angle in 18", 24", 32" or 36" (custom sizes optional)
30mm double sided Thermal tape pre-applied to boards
Meanwell HLG-185H-C1400B w/wago connectors for power and led hookup
3 ft Power cord for driver(6-footer available)
Optional pre-wired dimmer switch available
5 feet of solid core 18ga wire to hook strips up
Assorted screws(to build frame)
Extra wago connectors

EACH STRIP:
24V
48W max per strip
1800mA max per strip
30mm x 400mm each
Dual Connectors(easier to wire in series and/or parallel)
2oz RA Copper



This listing is for 6 of these strips with heatsinks to mount them on, aluminum angle(2 each of 18", 24", 32" or 36" length) to build a frame with and everything you need to get them growing, including a Meanwell HLG-185H-C1400B driver, power cable for driver and we even offer the option of a prewired dimmer for the driver. We will pre-apply 30mm double sided thermal conductive tape on the boards for you so all you will need to do is pull the release paper and press them onto your heatsinks for great holding power plus you gain the benefit of transferring the heat to the heatsink much better. All you will need is a drill and 1/8" bit, a good phillips screwdriver, and some wire strippers. These are 30mm x 400mm (approximately 1.2 inch x 16 inches) 96 Diode Strips using the Samsung lm561c top bin diodes. You get 6 of the 40mm x 450mm heatsinks. These make it so easy to build a frame for your light as well as keep your strips cooler, thus increasing the efficiency and the life of your strips. These do use true Samsung lm561c leds and also have the wire hook-ups on each end of the board making it so much easier and less messy to wire them in series, parallel, or however you need for your project. For the size, number of diodes, efficiency, versatility, and power capability, you won't find a better deal than these strips. This listing is for 6 of the 3500k(great all around spectrum) strips. They are rated at 24V and 1800mA max per strip and although they can handle a little more, they are much more efficient in the 1050-1400mA range. There are many other driver/strip configurations that work(too many for me to list), but just ask and I can recommend a custom kit for you and I will answer any questions you have or, since we have tons of drivers in stock, we can build you a custom DIY Kit. Check out my other listings for separate listings, different spectrums, mixed sets, sets with heatsinks, blue booster boards, red booster boards, or, if you need a different quantity or custom configuration, just let me know. We always have discreet shipping and this is a private listing, so your purchase will remain anonymous on eBay.


What you get is in the description. Some photos may be stock or show other items for reference only. If you have a question, please ask before purchase.
