Yeah I like the aluminum look, no paint required. Gives it a tough industrial look.

So this is the same light being so generously offered by endur0? Awesome, time to hit up balco for some juice for my party cup.

I overlooked the part where you mentioned remote drivers...

I had considered that, and may well be implemented into the 3rd design of ours, due out towards the very end of this year or early next year.

Another thing I want to experiment with is programmable dimmable timers, with multiple channels controlling each color separately, to attempt to simulate sunrise, midday, and sunset, and also the seasons. It's always been on my mind, and now it is within reachable means to be made. I know there's aquarium timers that do a stripped down version of what I need it to do. For growing, it'd be more complex, because there's much more than combos of white and blue. Not sure if it'd end up being a worth while thing, but it'd be fun to find out.

Yeah but most of us don't have that luxury of buying in bulk from the manufacturer........in a pre-assembled panel I would stay away from them IMO, granted you know the industry way better than I do

120mm fans sound good, but I was more interested in your heatsink/mcpcb design......to deal with the 12! 10w diodes in that case.....ever thought of using remote drivers in future designs??? really like that Rhinogrow design/ longevity issues remain to be seen though..

That HSS panel's par reading is really low.......but they are using some plastic diffusion? cover over their 5w? leds(automotive rated lol)and NO cooling system/whacky

Don't know/or tested the par readings on Hans Panel........he has improved it with his new stock(replaced the blue cree xp-e with xt-e) and made it run cooler for more lumens/per watt(still 65w total per panel)...........

Painted-on-flames make cars go faster, don't see why they can't make grow lights perform better.

Flames it is!

Don't listen to Dawg, he thinks a purple suede suit with leopard print shoes is the business...and I quote from the lost writings of Jim Morrison's Wilderness...

pg 100-

on a hospital bed, obviously pregnant
Is gutted & rifled of her empire

Objects of oblivion


* My vote for casing colours is anodising, that way I can have a copper colour..

 

[Eraserhead]

That is pretty neat. Some of those aquarium LED lights are fascinating.

This one gave me many new ideas.

Is a 5w diode that much of a difference from a 3w diode? I ask because I am debating between CLW solarflare 200 (eventually 2) or (1) PG260x(new model). I only plan o growing them 2 feet max. So will penetration be a big issue?

IMO no the penetration will not be an issue in that small a space. Especially considering the amount of light you want to purchase.

Natural not only will look Industrial Sheik, it will also save a step + time + money

I've mentioned this before, but Han's panel has a 65w remote driver and this thing puts out a surprising amount of heat......it just makes sense to remove these hot and heavy driver from the casings; makes it lighter/ steps down the cooling requirements, less-no fans/ driver can be moved to the top of the room in summer near the exhaust or brought down near the plants in the winter for additional heat,etc................ add a dimmer function/ should be the future of panel designs IMO(evo v4 has dimming???)

whats your guys opinion on the led comet?

[LEDmania]

Looks kinda like Sunshine Systems "new" light. http://www.sunshine-systems.com/GrowPanel-Pro-UltraBlend-p/gpp-ub.htm

Both of these links are the same light made in http://www.ct-lighting.com/product/300w-led-grow-light-ctg-05-g3-300.html

 

[Jennylasting]

hey guys what do people think of this light? newworldicon reckons its good bang for ya buck, seems similar to the penetrators without being $900 if you dont mind less degrees on the lenses and a few less LED's per unit

Derp! i read back, eraserhead ect ect i dont need info on the A51 lights anymore i think!

If you want some proof of how Area 51 LED's perform, feel free to check out my grow journal.

 

[Jennylasting]

Sick i'm straight on that, i had a look at Dawg's grow too, looks like good shtoooof! this thread is too useful!

There was a small hold-up in production, the factory workers weren't too keen on screwing down 44 individual pcb's (rather 1 large pcb containing all the LEDs) at the original agreed upon price, so we had to renegotiate the project and do some compromising.

The end results is a 2-3 week delay, but I am switching out the 20pcs of Cree 5w XPG cool white, for 6pcs Cree 10w XML natural white and 6pcs Cree 10w XML cool white (both top bins of course). And also, I switched out the deep red Epiled's (still top bin), with Philips Rebel deep red's (both bins, 650-660nm and 660-670nm). The power went up 5w (173w now, up from 168w), we added Philips and XML 10w, and will still be within our target price of $600 retail.

Should have pics in a couple weeks. Also expect a name change for the AF-150.

I am extremely interested in seeing how to solder Cree LEDs with the other brand LEDs on the same circuit board.

Found the same lamps from this manufacturer in China. I believe its another branch of Cidly.

[Fluffhead420]

Yeah...from the research I have done--which is probably not half the amount that some people on here have done--most of these LEDs out there are manufactured and shipped directly from China aka Cidly. They make IMO 70% of the LEDs on the market. If you want to buy good quality American made...check www.LumiGrow.com or www.RhinoGrow.com both are Made in the USA high quality products. I myself own 3 Rhino's, you can check my thread on here titled RhinoGrow. If I had unlimited budget I may go for the LumiGrow as they seem to be the most advanced LED company around. For now these Rhino's are kicking ASS!
