    Pictures of your DIY lights - Post your pics!!!

    So if you would be so kind, I am about to put the same combo together and I'm trying to find out if when I run the driver at full capacity, are each of the 4 cobs receiving 50 watts? Or do I need to turn it down and if that's the case how do I determine how much power each cob is receiving? If...

    Merci miseur. Je parl ampeau le France. But I can't spell a lick of it. lol. Hey bro, maybe you can help me with something else. Do you need a meter to know how you're running your lights? Does it make sense to think that if the power supply provides 200 watts that 4 cobs would be running 50...

    You are right my friend. What is happening, with sugars and many other "plant fertilizers" is that we are feeding the microbes, or some would say the soil and they have to break it down into a small enough molecule of something that the plant may actually use. That's fine for organics and is a...

    IMHO, When people realize just how much healthier their plants are under led's they will take over. They say that 95% of a plant comes from light so a lot of nutrient companies will need to brace themselves whenever people figure out, oh..., I don't know,.........like,... it doesn't make any...

    If I heard it right they guarantee the light will produce 90% of what it did on day one in 3 years. 5 years on the rest.

    Anyone having fun any more? If your plants are ready to flower when you are, they grew just fast enough.

    I agree with you there dude. Brendon is not the most likeable guy and that's just from the videos. I've heard that he doesn't treat unhappy customers very nicely either. I almost bought 2 lights from him though, but DIY is the way to go for sure if you have the skills. It doesn't seem overly...

    Yeah, so I'd start a new thread and see if we can get a panel built with the CXB 3590's but I don't know how.......to start a new thread.

    Thanks captain, I will probably do that and try to take you guys along for the adventure of putting one of these panels together. Ordering the CREE COBS at Alibaba is a bit involved and not done in 5 minutes, at least not on a Saturday. Looks like I need to communicate with the seller before I...

    Think ive been led astray

    In case you haven't figured it out, I'm new here. You guys seem to want to help though, and that's very cool. I don't know if this will help anybody but I just replaced my veg lights with 4' led tubes. I was able to remove the heavy, noisy, heat producing ballasts from some $12.00 Home Depot...

    Think ive been led astray

    So I'm in the process of placing an order for Cree CXB3590 at 3000k, 42" heat sinks 5.886" wide with fans and Mean Well drivers. Should I run each COB with its own driver or a larger driver for every 4 COBS? Any thoughts on that. Recommendations? Enough cooling? I plan on mounting 4 COBS on each...

    Still, you can build your own led panels with todays top of the line materials and repair and/or upgrade on your own. You only purchase the heat sinks once. This is a no brainer for a do it yourselfer like me. No real savings on the original purchase but in the long run, you're free to modify or...

    Think ive been led astray

    All I know is that people are getting mad results and posting them on youtube with the spectrum king. I comes with your choice of a 60 degree, (think trees), a 90 or a 120 degree reflector. The videos I saw made me drool.It is full spectrum so the light penetration is deep. Remo is growing a...

    Hello. So I can run 4 cxb3590's with the mean well hlg-185-1400? Is it better to have dedicated drivers for each cob?
