Your plant seems to love the light you give it ATM~ Looks like very vigorous growth...

I applaud your English as it is but it definitely needs work. You mistake that I'm comparing my light to a tropical sun (LMAO), I will actually be flowering my plants under the tropical sun and not under this lamp. It seems that your "serious question" wasn't posed as a question at all but I'll...

I thought the "spectrum religion" comment was a good one. I don't dispute that more photons is what the efficiency game is about, never have. I made a joke of efficiency-nazis and my 90CRI COBs and you were the only one who took it seriously~ What's funnier is your "holier than thou"...

Lmao, looks like we got a fish on the line! I've never bothered with HPS or HID lighting in general, but I see and agree with what you're saying. Unlike those whom will lose sleep over those few percentage points of light their lamps are putting out, I'll sleep easy knowing my plants will be...

I'm excited to see your lamps and moreover your successful venture! Power to the V18s~

Lol it seems the dudes like you :bigjoint: Good growth we're seeing though. Two big bitches are better than no bitches~

Does anyone have experience dimming Meanwell A class drivers? I realize it's done with a philips screwdriver but can I damage my equipment by accidentally dimming too low or turning up the juice too high? I suppose I'm asking if there are limits set within the driver or something to that effect...

Super cool Panta... ROFLd at the song choice/title. I just built a bar of 4x v2 Vero18s dimmable from 1050mA down to 525mA. I made sure to get 90CRI versions (3000k,4000k) just to piss those select few people off~ Need my connectors so I can fire it up already... All leftover aluminum/fans...

Funny you mentioned chaz and the IG thread, I stumbled upon it lastnight. Thanks for that... I most likely wont grow anything out in my AP system but the pakalolo will definitely be getting some dirty water~

Howzit rik... There's about a 7% difference in efficiency when comparing Vero29s and CXB3590s 36v at 1.4a. As far as heatsink surface area recommended figures would be: Passive = 75 sq cm /W or 11.62" in/w Active = 25sq. cm/W or 3.87" in/w Semi = 55sq. cm/W or 8.52 in/w I believe recommended...

Looks like mite damage. Beautiful genetics though, that's for sure~

I'll definitely take a look into getting some lens on those COBs, I really appreciate the advice.

There are too many factors at play that we don't know about (soil, temps, humidity, etc etc). Looks like it gets real hot during the day where you are and they got fried. I could very well be mistaken though.

Hello again gentlemen... I've been searching around and am unable to find what size footprint each COB would have at amps that are typical and frequent. Can anyone shed some light on this? For example: CXB3590 @ 1.4a 16" height creates 18" circle... Or whatever it may be lol. I guess I would be...

I'd assume it's just an aesthetic thing... Needs moar surface area.

LOL. ^^^ Can you just stop already? I don't even know where to begin...

Anyone out there running aquaponics? Just started cycling my tank... Wondering what other kinds of life I can support in the fish tank, going to start it up with some tilapia~

What would this sub-forum be without you Supra buddy :eyesmoke: Thank you!!! ^^^^thecrabdude: Yes, that would work for powering those. I believe it would power a 5th one but I'm obviously not the best person to elaborate on such a thing, so I'd get a second opinon~

I really appreciate the breakdown salmon~ (and YES!! thanks supra!!)

Sweet deals... They look happy so far~
