Samsung H series strips, Arrow seems to be blowing them out! what a deal!

[SBBCal]

Finishing up on this build. I ran the L09's (16strips) parallel and these drivers must be constant current//constant voltage. I'm getting 470w each driver at 100% . Slapped on some dimmers as well. 660's are on 2 channels so a boost can be added during flower. 40w each channel (21 diodes per at 2w each).Cheers 4'x4.5' folds in half *

Using a 50K ohm pot to dim two drivers. LG driver. But the light will dim down to 10% or 33W (like it should). But then for max it will reach is only 207.7W when cranked to max of Pots rotation. When I disconnect the dimmer the fixture goes up to 293W (what it should be hitting on max).

Have you tried 100k? Also, what gauge wire are you using for the dimmers? nice looking light

Thanks man. No I haven't tried a 100K cuz I read that for two drivers you need a 50K. 100K should be for single drivers. I'll order some different resistances.

These are pretty cheap at $12 and you get a variety if your interested .. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VJ46GQQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_B2KD976J9TPTNQ70A1QH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

your right you do want a 50k pot for 2 drivers. the pot you are using must be under 50k so you will need to add a resistor to boost it.

Samsung Q-Series 2ft LM301B strips 5000K $3 each about 400 left in stock

 

[shimbob]

Damn, still have that stupid 36% tariff?

 

[Parazit92]

Yup, old L09's. Plan on running 16 at 50w each for the 800w.

Im planning the same. How many meters x meters are you going to setup?

That one was for a friend, he's got a big 10x10ft tent. I believe he's using it for a 5x10ft section of the tent @1k watts
- I made/use this one. It's a mix of L09's-Q-H gets up to 800w. Using it in a 5x5 w/ a 4x4 canopy at 570w. Seems to be doing pretty well flowering.
- what are you planning for a frame? Always interested in seeing others builds.

 

[Parazit92]

Such a pretty and big instalation!

I have a 5x5ft tent and I want to install 10pcs of H Inlux L09 3500K (SL-B8U7N90L1WW) and use them at 48w (480w) but..

I dont know which driver would be the best for this setup??

I think i will make it the same way you made yours(without those reds one)

The side rails on that one are aluminum T-bars, you can get them pretty much any length. Easy to attach heatsinks.
-If your goal is 480w , I'd use two 240w so you can wire in two channels, or get a 480 with a dimmer. Delta drivers were on sale Arrow.com awhile back but I haven't checked.
-Reds are for flower cycle

 

[Parazit92]

Thank you very much!

yea I know that they are for flower cycle but I prefer to make it without and then add them after to compare.
Had another question, how do you all buy in arrow..? They ask me a VAT number‍

Is this during checkout? Never had that on my end

I think it's probably an EU requirement that you're a company. Haven't seen it myself for arrow. Sometimes validation allows '0' for vat number on some websites I've used, because not all companies claim VAT, but it might not be optional in your country

 

[Parazit92]

Yes this is during the check out, I think this is because product come from usa to europe so Europe want to tax everything that enter in the land..

Does not work for me.. i am looking for an user right here that can take them for me and then send them to me

 

[Parazit92]

I just found in a europe page (digikey es)thé Samsung F-Series Gen3 at 8€/pcs and the Bridgelux EB SLIM GEN3 at 8€/pcs too.

I may buy 12pcs of those one and make a 4x4ft panel with 1 HLG-320.

What do you all think about this setup idea and which strip would be

 

[MedicinalMyA$$]

Either way 320 Watts is not enough for flowering in a 4x4, but OK for veg.

How many watt do you recommand for a 4x4ft flower cycle?
I think that its better to wait till I found a solution and buy like 30 pcs of SL-B8U7N90L1WW.. than buy those and have less efficiency and more expensive.
