Kaoss multi point source lighting like boards of discreet diodes like quantums are far better for overlap with reflection then a de in my opion. What do you mean by running them open. I assume you mean no reflector, if thats the case 50 percent of your light intensity is shooting upwards and 360...
So make one let me see it. Why put all that work in, i have tested and tried dozens of different drivers, there are plenty of other companies some cost less some cost more .meanwell did all the work for us. And of all ive used there the most efficent and reliable and have a lot more inside then...
Soow refers to service cord rated at 600v sjow is service junior cord rated for 300v. Many different types of service cord but perfect for diy builds. I use an 18-6 soow for all my light drops
The more qbs the better can always dim them. what makes it really great is so many points of light over 2700 diodes is alot of points of light can see that making huge gains in lower canopy like im seeing but 9 at full blast would be insane to look at be like looking at the sun
My board was double bubble wrapped no bent fins on heatsink looked and works perfect. 99 % of damage is more just the shipping centers they route through and the in and out if trucks planes and boats and mail carriers. But these are some tough ass boards
Specially when your like me and bump your head on every damn light in the flower room when you water lol, plus im a stoner at heart and if i fuck something up i can fix it and not blow it up you can weld with 115 v dc so better grounded then ungrounded
Yes you should ground any electrical fixture doesnt matter the voltage or voltage type. Especially with mean well drivers they will auto detect a dead short and shut down till the short is cleared. Always always always ground your fixtures
What kind of pots im in smart pots and my theory is they dry so fast even at correct ph it might go down enough at the root base to miss calcium and magneseum phosphorus
promix tends to run real low ph if its below 5.5 calcium cannot be absorbed, i have trouble myself dialing in my girls under my quantums and hid leds in promix im adding dolomite lime try to bring up my ph
